It's a sad day when Americans have to be protected from their own President

And yet that's exactly what's happening right now.

Those around the President are desperately and without much success are trying to shield Americans from the very worst that is Donald Trump.

Just sit back and think about that for a moment. Did you ever think you'd see that day?

The people are being protected from a dictator. Trump is not a president he is a dictator. My question though is how long can we be protected from a dictator?

Because those protecting us from him, like General Kelly, are people he picked. Doesn't give me much confidence in them.
