Financial Times: Mr. Trump, Give It Up, It’s Over.
*************
From FT
In his first six months in office, President Donald Trump has offered sound and fury, and not much else. Any lingering hopes that he might grow into his role as commander-in-chief evaporated this week, a chaotic and self-destructive one even by the dismal standards of this presidency.
Mr Trump, a real estate tycoon who counts himself a leader of men, has proved incapable of wielding power responsibly. He publicly undermined his own attorney-general, one of his earliest
Actually, Trump’s “sound and fury” is no more so – than the media’s, the peoples’ and the Congress’s – regarding actually taking the necessary and required concrete actions in removing Trump from office. The independent counsel investigation equally as geologic in time frame – with no seeming intent for closure of the obvious. You don’t have to convict Trump for collusion with the Russian’s to remove his sorry ass from the Office. He has provided far more impeachable offenses – necessary to get him out of Office – if there were the intent to do so.
It isn’t like other Presidents haven’t been removed for far less serious infractions. Nixon’s Watergate fiasco was only an attack on the Democratic Party’s privacy, not the whole of the Republic and all the people within. Consequently, the system that produced the grossly incompetent Trump Presidency and tolerates its continued threats to the nation, really isn’t any less at fault for the Trump disaster – than Trump himself. Or, in a very lose Scaramucci paraphrase – ‘They are all now part of the same rotten “head” (leadership) of this absurdly and offensive stinky fish.’
The circus is about to start, start the music.
Ok, Rove and a few heavyweights are talking about this implosion as if it is in the future. WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE!!!!!!!!!!!!! FU*K!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up and smell the IMPEACHMENT, jesus. Get a grip.
Dear Putin’s favorite party, you own this lunatic, just like you now own the health care “system” in the US. Trump is what happens when you spend decades promoting anti-intellectualism, care nothing about facts or evidence, always default to appealing to people’s fears and bigotry, while offering no meaningful policies other than cutting taxes for the already rick.
Congratulations! You won!
#winning!
Very well said.
