Let's face it, the president of the United States wants his political opponents killed.

He,trump, is trying to say this without actually using those exact words. His “civil war” diatribe, his claim that the whistleblower and his/her sources are traitors (that we know what the penalty for spies and treason is...chuckle, chuckle...knowing wink). These seem to be clear and present threats to any and all who would challenge his right to rule in perpetuity.

He wants his political opponents killed and he is trying to send that message to his mentally challenged base. He is claiming, with no right what so ever, that he should be able to confront his accuser. Meaning the whistleblower, clearly that would be his opportunity to expose the name thus enabling him to focus his threats, making his targets clear.

He is threatening the entire nation with war if he is not allowed to continue doing what he has been doing. What could possibly go wrong with allowing him to have his way? Maybe America is ready to surrender its democracy, it’s freedom, it’s sense of justice and decency to his whimsy. I for one am not.

8. That's why he admires Jong-Un and Putin so much.

Jong-Un kills members of his own family. If someone says something negative about Putin, they get a Polonium sandwich.

Remember his comments about Hillary - suggesting 'second amendment solutions'. The media seemed to give him a pass on that, when he claimed he was only kidding.

Of course, clearly his is not in a joking mood now.

Trump is, however, not the disease itself but a symptom. He's the tip of the boil.
