How Low Will Trump Go?

The wonder of the Trump administration — the jaw-dropping, brain-exploding phantasmagoria of it — is that it doesn’t bury its rottenness under layers of counterfeit virtue or use a honeyed voice to mask the vinegar inside. The rottenness is out in the open. The sourness is right there on the surface for all to see.

It’s at the president’s rallies, where he plays a bigot for laughs, a bully for applause.

It’s in the ballrooms and beds at Mar-a-Loco, where he mingles official government business with free marketing for his gilded club.

It’s in the transcript of his phone call with the president of Ukraine, for whom the quid, the pro and the Biden-ravaging quo couldn’t have been clearer.

the gop will stick with him. Once they got one of their own in the WH, they are determined to keep him there. He is draining the Treasury with his free wheeling golf trips and other expenses. The debt has skyrocketed. The gop just figures that eventually a (D) will take over and straighten this all out. Wishful thinking. The damage is enormous. tRump is a one man wrecking crew. Totally unqualified, ignorant, not very bright, wrapped up in himself and his importance. No other president has ever had his family members as part of his advisors in the WH. They are as unqualified as he is, but every bit as greedy and grubbing. Worst president EVER. Worst administration. Worst group of gop "representatives" in the history of this country. I can not name one single gop member that I trust or admire.

corruption, grifting, scorn for norms/laws and devastating, daily destruction and chaos burning our Republic, Democracy and Constitution to the ground in front of our eyes, including the long-term effects of the lifetime judicial appointments which will outlive Trump and all the complicit Republican Congresspeople who either stood by silently or actively aided and abetted.

How low that orange fuck will go is chief among them. Because said orange duck always manages to outdo himself.
