      There's this great line in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War, "The search for truth strains the patience of most people, who would rather believe the first things that come to hand."

      So honestly, did you see any of the speech or read any of the transcript, or are you riffing off what everyone else in your information sub-bubble is riffing off? Because if you are, you might want to examine the irony in that self-satire.
