The Rot of Trump

It's gotten so bad that a mob boss president, starring in his own scandalous TV show, gets to handpick an embattled partisan judge to sit on the nation's highest court where he can shield his advocate from criminal prosecution and pursue dark money's anti-Democratic agenda.

It's gotten so bad that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell describes citizens exercising their First Amendment right by lifting their voices in protest -- as a "mob."

What would the Senator call the crazed, often angry "fans" at Trump rallies?

It's gotten so bad that a misogynist president mocks a sexual assault victim courageous enough to testify before the world, at one of his Hitler-like rallies and the deplorables all laugh.

It's gotten so bad that the FBI, an American institution typically trusted for its integrity in protecting the people, turned in a half-baked investigation into high profile assault allegations against a Supreme Court nominee, ignoring scores of witnesses actually asking to be interviewed.

It's gotten so bad that our Conservative "leaders" will stand before us dressed up as self-righteous dandies and with a well- practiced air, not only lie right to our face, but actually attack Democrats as the real culprits, the enemies of truth and justice.

Of course, this is Donald Trump's America. 


This is his doing.This is what he wanted. Division. Incites. Anger. Unrest. This is how he makes America great again.

He's that rotten apple at the bottom of the barrel, threatening to turn the whole barrel bad, to rot away our integrity, our rights as American citizens.

And the longer Trump remains insulated, protected by his fellow bad apples, his arguably criminal loyalist Republicans in Congress, the more damage will be done.
