With regards to your statement that "T always fails at everything he does", I have to disagree -- he got the presidency, he has the Republicans wrapped around his little finger, and he has his base hypnotized. He has the backing, possibly the resources, and probably also the counsel of strategic master chessplayer Putin. What's next -- a violent trumpist militia staging a coup? I can't help thinking of The Handmaid's Tale. Are we frogs being slowly boiled?
I take the long view. Live in NYC and have seen that everything he touches dies. I am not fearful because I've watched this clown for years. The Presidency is the worst thing that could have ever happened to him. He could have stayed under the radar but is now being busted on his many years of criminal activity. And he's physically disintegrating before our eyes.
I agree I think people are getting tired of T and company. Right after the election and for awhile I would read a new paper article about him and his cronies and the comments were more pro him. Now after 3 years of his tyranny the tides are turning I see more anti t comment then for him. Also he is getting booed now and Melaria was just booed today
First lady Melania Trump took her "Be Best" initiative to the Baltimore area on Tuesday, where she was met with a chorus of boos from attendees at a youth summit aimed at raising awareness about the nation's opioid crisis.
I tend to agree with Lawrence’s view. Everything T. touches dies. His presidency would have been much worse if he were competent at anything other than sabotaging himself. Because he is so ego driven, he constantly signals all of the bad things that he is doing. I am not minimizing how awful it is now, but I firmly believe that he will manage to have himself taken out of power sooner rather than later due to his own hubris. Even if he wanted to stay in power, I don’t think he will be able to endure physically or mentally.
The most frustrating part of the last several years has been watching the blatant criminality and wondering why I am seeing it and others are seemingly not - or don’t care about it. I feel like we have started on the downhill side of the rollercoaster. It will still be unsettling, but I think and hope that people’s eyes are starting to open.
Agree. Not only has he "hung" himself, he's destroying the GOP.
I feel he's barely physical functioning by May 2020. That's why we're seeing the WH statements he taken to his private quarters. We also have never heard an honest evaluation of his hospital trip.
I pray that you are right. The alternative is quite awful. We know who his idols are. His milita support would include neo-Nazi white nationalists who have been stockpiling weapons since the original American Nazi movement in the 1930's. This monster wants to be an absolute fascist king. If he had his way, unimpeded, that's what he would do.
@Yofisofi: I think the US democracy will be bruised and battered by the end of T’s time in power, but it will survive. I also think that the R. party will be severely wounded by this whole episode because they allowed T. to take over their party and make it his. My hope is that whoever is in power next will use the damage done currently as a guide to making changes that keep this from happening again.
The Presidency is the worst thing that could have ever happened to him. He could have stayed under the radar but is now being busted on his many years of criminal activity.
@lawrence, yes yes yes!! My husband and I have been saying that for the past three years. Had T. not allowed his bloated, fractured ego run amok, he could have continued making money conning everyone. And since T. understands the media and how to market himself, he could have even created another successful television show. It's doubtful that any of his nefarious activities would have caught up with him, especially since he loves to sue and tie people up in litigation.
Don't you just love poetic justice?
