In many ways, Donald Trump is like a man trying to hold back the tide with a broom. This is a task that is doomed to fail. But Trump has his own right-wing disinformation machine anchored by Fox News and Breitbart, heads a political cult with tens of millions of followers, and has no regard for the norms and laws of American democracy and government.
In many ways, America has been in a constitutional crisis ever since Trump’s election. His threats and other despicable behavior are now a new type of normal.
Perhaps there will be a wonderful irony in Trump’s raging to “DO SOMETHING” and that principled Republicans — to the degree any still exist — in Congress and around the country will finally turn on Trump and insist that he be removed from office.
I’m not holding my breath. Republicans made their bargain with the devil because he does their bidding. The American people, and the people of the world, are suffering the consequences.
