People are supposed to trust him more because of this ridiculous story about his (dangerous) mother? Loony beyond words.

Oh, come on - the story has everything. It's a finger to the French, it's a great American can-do tale of individualistic empowerment, excessive consumption, and pointless driving across all of that beeyootiful country, and he loves his mother too.

What more could you ask for - except possibly a story of how she ran an illegal still in her youth, and has friends who sleep wrapped in the Confederate flag?

It's easy - and fun - to mock, but he knows his audience, and he knows how to dramatise a patriotic point for them.

Oh, I agree with all that.

It was just a personal reaction. Aghast.
