We are reaping the whirlwind.
This is why many of us, including the best of our national security and intelligence communities, diplomats, the best of those who have served in cabinets and in congress, the best of our historians, a bipartisan chorus, said Donald Trump was unfit for office.
In the last year he has whirled like a destructive storm through convention, norm, legality, morality and American values.
We said long ago he was a danger to the US.
He's now breaking international law and convention and neither he nor his ignorant minions and sycophants understand or refuse to ponder the consequence.
Xi or Putin, or the Iranian Holy Council or others have been invited to do to Trump what he has done.
A nation, or a rogue proxy could target JD Vance, or Steven Miller, or Marco Rubio or the pole dancer Sec Def, and with impunity, not that convention or accords or practiced principles that have held the world together hold any sway as of today.
Where, for God's sake, are senior Republicans who could rebuff and begin to control this man? For that matter why haven't former President's Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden spoken to the world and said, this is not the American way.
Donald Trump is an aging and sick narcissist who has deluded himself into thinking a nation is like a business and his business has always been hustle and fraud, lining his pocket first.
Donald Trump is a vulgar and small minded man who is being used by a cabal devoted to breaking or destroying the federal government and recently have been acting as thought they are motivated by Klan and Nazi beliefs. When would we ever expect to allow masked zealots or bounty hunters to openly abduct people of color from their homes, schools, churches, work places and even courthouses?
The right wing Federalist strategy has been effective in breaking the domestic government, but these "true believers" lack the knowledge, experience or intelligence to understand the intricate and complicated sphere of international relations, diplomacy and world affairs. They are right wing wet dream fantasists but the security of the world is well beyond their latent fascism.
A President cannot order and should not order our troops to kill extrajudicially, or gin up false rationale to provoke. A President certainly cannot start a war so he can again line his pockets while crowing about making America rich. That policy is as sick and addled as is he.
Now you understand why media and analysts made the point of saying there are "no adults in the room," no one with sound judgement. The only people around this president are those who have pledged fealty to the mad would be king. This is an era of Presidential insanity.
I have no idea how we pull back from this one.
Unfit, unqualified and a danger to the US. Today he is a danger to the world.
He wants an Old Testament world where he is the King. Who knows what furries he has released. Karma, like payback, can be a bitch.
See you down the trail.
