The movie 13 Minutes; A warning from history.

This is the story of Johann Georg Elser, A german carpenter who tried to kill Hitler in 1939. Hitler left early from a yearly speech he gave at a beer hall. The bomb went off 13 minutes later.

Elser watched the German people slowly descend into madness. He knew war would destroy them so he decided to take action. After he was captured he was tortured. They believed he had help. He did not. During one scene he asked a question of the people torturing him.

Can't you see what is happening? Thats what we should all be asking the Trump voters.

Sometimes I feel like the American people are descending into madness just like the German people did. Many of the German people knew something wrong. Instead of doing something about it, they either ignored it or they joined up with the madness.

I think we are past Peak Trump. It's downhill from here for him...
unless he pulls a 9-11 or something craven like that.
Still I think most would see through his ploys.
