I honestly don't know how long I can take it. Donald Trump is not just gross, grossly incompetent, and a boor, I think he is actually trying to do as much damage to the country, as fast as he can. What is genuinely shocking is how many Co-conspirators he has. Are they that stupid? Corrupt? Anti-American? I don't get it.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich
I think there are a couple of things in play. Mr Trump is incompetent by some reasonable standard but his ignorance has exacerbated it. He is surrounded by extremists who would rather we not have a federal government. Their argument is simple. He has to fulfill his campaign promises. The people who supported him do not understand what is happening.
Mr Trump is is simply a tool of the extreme right and their agenda to deconstruct the federal government. He is succeeding.
ignorance is the enemy without equality there is no liberty America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

The GOP / Tea Party are no different from ISIS and al Queda. All four want to take over society and degrade and destroy government.
How often you hear a Reichwinger say: They want to make government small enough to drown in a bathtub. (This is different from ISIS/al Queda - how exactly? )

Trump, the incessant loser who finally...FINALLY 'won' something life, he then turns that something into crap in less than five months.
Trump is the quintessential loser - looking to win at something, anything. His supporters can relate to him in that regard: Seeded in self-pity because of failed choices in their own lives, and the prospect of their livelihoods being shipped offshore or replaced by robot.
Trump is a loser just like his supporters are - and that's pretty much it in a nutshell.
Donald Trump is an existential threat, not just to the United​ States, but to much of the world. His gross incompetence is on full display, and his administrative picks are inhumane - the least appropriate picks possible. The damage he has already done to the United States, and American values - not just "liberal" values - is already incalculable and he is only getting started.
The burden in us and our posterity grows daily. I'd be surprised if we aren't in recession by this Summer. The thing is, he's being abetted by the Republican party at every turn. Thank God his administration is so incompetent or the damage could be greater.

Sec Pruitt was somewhat interesting to watch today. He either is stupid because he can not understand simple English or he is a liar (because of his duplicity). He could not answer the simple question .... is global warming a hoax?
He is a reflection of his boss.
