I don’t know if you’ve noticed or not, but Donald Trump has been doing a lot of winning.
And by “a lot of winning” I mean, losing every, single battle, every step of the way for the entire time he’s been in office.
During the campaign, this President actually said the following out loud, to people with ears:
We’re going to win so much. You’re going to get tired of winning. you’re going to say, ‘Please Mr. President, I have a headache. Please, don’t win so much. This is getting terrible.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No, we have to make America great again.’ You’re gonna say, ‘Please.’ I said, ‘Nope, nope. We’re gonna keep winning.’
Well, “nope, nope,” he hasn’t “won” anything.
The wall isn’t getting built, the Muslim ban didn’t work, his poll numbers are at or near record lows, he didn’t repeal and replace, there’s been no progress on tax reform, you can just go ahead and forget about infrastructure, China wasn’t labeled a currency manipulator, etc. etc.
Well with the “winning” just piling up by the day, Merck’s CEO Ken Frazier just resigned from the President’s Manufacturing Council citing Trump’s steadfast refusal to explicitly denounce white nationalist groups:

Just let that sink in. The CEO of a giant corporation just had to resign from a Presidential council on manufacturing because the President won’t come out and say that he doesn’t want the support of the KKK.
This is real – this is actually happening.
And I mean, I hope you understand that literally everyone (including his Vice President and his own daughter) has explicitly singled out white supremacists as the proximate cause of the violence in Charlottesville. And yet Trump just won’t do it. Because hilariously, that’s the only support he’s got left – white supremacists.
Of course the reaction from Trump was predictable: tantrum time!

There’s only one person who can sum this up adequately… Captain Picard, we leave it in your capable hands…
Props to Ken Frazier.
AGREED! and the rest of them need to line up at the exit!
