But the connection between the president and the young men with guns extends beyond Trump’s race-baiting to encompass a more essential feature of his public self — which is not the rhetoric or ideology that he deploys,
but the obvious moral vacuum, the PROFOUND SPIRITUAL BLACK HOLE, that lies beneath his persona and career."

THERE YOU HAVE IT. A SHAM, A HOLLOW MAN, WITH NO MORALITY, NO HEART, NO EMPATHY, NO ABILITY TO STAND IN ANOTHER'S SHOES AND FEEL EVEN THE TINIEST TWINGE FOR THEIR STRUGGLE


OR PAIN. AS LONG AS HE'S SAFE, WARM, WELL FED, AS LONG AS HIS PLANE TAKES OFF ON TIME AND HE GETS HIS GOLF GAME IN, AS LONG AS HE AND HIS CRONIES ARE MAKING MONEY, THE REST OF THE WORLD CAN GO TO HELL. AND IT WILL.
