This underscores how absolutely insane the Trump Presidency has been so far.

Trump has been president for less than two weeks, and we've already forgotten that at one point in that time period he actually advocated sending in the federal government to take over Chicago.

He actually said that. Most of us have forgotten about it by now. But it wasn't that long ago.

So much crazy shit happens with this guy on a daily basis that you manage to forget all the crazy shit that took place preceding it.

They are like children, they want, they need a strong man to tell them what to do.

Trump is of course not strong, but he has access to those who are.

who are fine with destroying everything as long as they get a tax cut, but I am related to them and I know many in my life who are.

Now that rump/bannon have shown they dont care about military lives or civilians, who knows what is next.

Plus there is all the fake stuff and just mind boggling stuff, e.g., speaking at Harley Davidson in Milwaukee while they claim they knew nothing.

It boggles the mind! Is there going to be one nation left who is going to still be on our side?? It's bad enough that he's provoking those who we're already worried about, but now he's pissing off our closest allies! Is there going to be anyone left who doesn't hate us??

Shock and fucking awe. Psy-war techniques in play all over the place. You never know what's propaganda these days. Practice believing nothing.
