Krugmans op-ed this morning says it out loud & Clear: "When The President Is Un-American"


In short, these days we have a president who is really, truly, deeply un-American, someone who doesn’t share the values and ideals that made this country special.

Whatever role foreign influence may have played and may still be playing, however, we don’t need to wonder whether an anti-American cabal, hostile to everything we stand for, determined to undermine everything that truly makes this country great, has seized power in Washington. It has: it’s called the Trump administration.

Trump is a mentally ill racist con man who was installed in power
by a rigged election and a hostile foreign power.

Un American ideas by trump/GOP

get rid of public education
get rid of the US Post Office
stop people from voting and rigging elections
dark money and citizen's united
kill unions
deny science
transfer wealth from the poor and the middle class to the very rich
unending and unceasing hearings into nothing in order to hurt the other side
Fox News, Rush, and other right wing hate talk
Trump
pushing hate and bigotry as Jesus and Faith
selling off and not maintaining our infrastructure
people like Rove, Steve Bannon, Cheney, and Gorka
using the Nazi "big lie" method ...... just keep repeating a lie 24/7 until some
people buy it as the truth example, "What about Hillary's emails?"
leading people in chants such as "lock her up."

...feo, ugly doesn't just refer to ones outward appearance....its nuance is the lack of decency, morals; it denotes a deeply rooted evilness that's intangible, yet permeates in all this man says and does, the white-kkk-nazi-evangelical-khristian terrorists he surrounds wthi and is not a coincendence from pence, sessions.bannon,miller, gorka conway,tillerson his entire staff, cabinet members....the republikkklan congress has always shown their true colours, they just found the perfect vile evil and willing trumpeter to spew hate propaganda and lies about non white, non Christian, LgbtAmericans immigrants and refufees, yet there is a silver lining, hate cannot stand in a democracy.

Wasn't it God who said to Lot, find just one good person ....or the city will be destroyed, well we know how that turned out!

He is Anti-American and is the worst traitor in American history. He insults all the WWII veterans and their families by refusing to denounce nazis.
