Trump has taken a giant shit on America

[sweetroxie]

That's what this has been about. He is a raging, angry man who sees himself as being wronged by everyone whose approval he craves. He's a very sick man. Both lying AND delusional. He will continue shitting on us until someone(s), somehow steps up to stop him. Somehow, our great system really doesn't have the means to deal with someone who never plays by the rules. Someone who flaunts the rules and refuses to play by the honor system. The buck doesn't seem to stop anywhere.

1. And his cult, while claiming to be super-patriots, love him for it.

[kentuck]

2. We would expect them to flaunt their wealth and power...

But only little people pay taxes. Leona Helmsley reminded us.

The law that was written that permits the Congress to get the tax returns of the President, Vice-President, or any other individual the Congress deems necessary, was not meant for this "Person". But they are taking it a tad bit too far, don't you think?

3. Our system has a way to deal with situations like drumpf et al.

When rethugs are aiding and abetting drumpf's corruption, then things become difficult.

4. the Senate is the body supposedly filled with honorable people

at least that was the idea I think. There's no plan B if the senate gets corrupted by a really vicious party of scoundrels.

5. You forgot to mention stupid and insane

which also apply to the Orange turd

6. Vindictive and vengeful.

7. As long as he's pushing Mitch and his wife's plan along

with the other criminal republicans, Putin, Wall streeters, oil execs and the rest who are really benefiting from his many "wins" faux news the corporate media will continue to cover for them and continue to brainwash the brain dead and brainless who support him. The most important thing to them is we never have another black president much less a woman.

8. The strange thing about Trump is the affection from Americans he so craves is so easy to obtain. All

he needs to do is not act crazy. He is so afraid of losing his base he doesn’t understand the far greater path of approval and acceptance is to appeal to the real mass of population who view him as a madman. The few times Trump has been reasonable and moderate he immediately received praise followed quickly by a reversal to crazy. He is so sick and demented he cannot see this. He craves praise from the NYT and other media outlets but he is so paranoid and afraid to stray from the lunatic base where he knows no matter what he does he will be embraced. You would think his advisers would convince him that he could have his cake and eat it just my acting a little sane.

9. The whole "wants approval" thing is a VERY distant thing for him

it is there, clearly.

But, his general malice and disdain for every other human being outside of those who are equally as immoral and hateful as him is his primary driver.

To be frank - his relationship with his "base" that so adores him, is him fucking with them. As much disdain as he has for us liberals, and the dark skinned people, he has MORE for those people who he can stand in a room, lie to them, manipulate their weaknesses and hate, etc.

He is subservient to Putin, Kim, etc because they are what he wants to be ... Outside of that, he is fucking with people, the more they kiss his ass or fall in line, the more he fucks with them.

10. What, Again?

11. Right you are!!!

12. The thing is we have several built in methods for removing an elected official

Who is unfit for office. If one method isn’t working or isn’t being used (as in the case of tRump) there are others that could be utilized. And finally if none of the remedies works or is not used the unfit person can be removed by the people at the ballot box (if the process is not tainted or corrupted). The problem is that if our only solution is the ballot box, that gives the unfit person a very long time to wreck havoc.

I am fully convinced that even if tRump only gets one term, he will leave destruction behind in his wake that will take decades to undo. I just refuse to believe that is the way it has to be and yet that seems to be the case. He is taking us as close to a dictatorship as he can and no one seems able to stop him. There is something very wrong about this picture. Were the founding fathers wrong? Was there something they missed? Or are the safe guards in place but are being ignored? And the bigger question is WHY?

[sweetroxie]

13. I think the founders had too much trust.

The honor system only works when you have honorable people. Trump is as far from that as he can get.

[COLGATE4]

14. I completely agree. I doubt the Founding Fathers ever

envisioned a person of such non-existent character ever becoming President.

15. And he's wiping his ass with the U.S. Constitution. (nt)

16. A steaming, rancid pile

Much like himself

17. When you're Donald Trump

That's what you do
