Who is worse? The madman, or those who pretend he is normal?

[guillaumeb]

It is increasingly obvious that, whatever hold Trump had on reality is weakening. His erratic behavior, the slurring of words, the mental and verbal wandering in conversations, and so much more.

And the same thing happened to Ronald Reagan, to a lesser degree, in his second term.

But what is worse? That there is a madman in the White House, or that the "leadership" of the GOP pretends to see nothing?

1. Those who pretend he is normal.

He would have no power with out his cult.

[guillaumeb]

3. I agree.

Trump is, of course, a monster, but without his followers he would simply be another monster screaming at his television.

[CatMor]

15. Yes, he would be ...

I can't understand how the repubs and his voters aren't embarrassed by the idiot.

[Prue]

7. Ditto n/t

[CatMor]

2. I think the GOP leadership is worse because ....

they let the incompetent moron do all his damage.

[guillaumeb]

4. All the GOP leadership cares about are Judges and tax cuts. eom

[handmade34]

5. the "collective"

allows the cult leader to prosper

[guillaumeb]

6. They are mutually dependent.

He validates their own hatred and ignorance.

[spicysista]

8. The normalization of this turd is going to leave an awful stain.

I'm not just talking about politicians, either. I feel most disappointed in the press and some faith leaders. Too many people failed to sound the proper alarms.
I can not possibly blame tRump for being the worst. He's always been, well....the worst! He told us who he was when he came down that escalator.

[guillaumeb]

10. Agreed.

His criminality and open racism are encouraging other crooks and racists to be open about their own hate.

[guillaumeb]

12. Welcome to DU.

Biden has a stutter. Trump acts like a crook.

[Skittles]

13. no Biden does NOT "slur the same way"

I'm no fan of Biden but he is a ROCK STAR compared to DONALD FUCKING TRUMP.

[Skittles]

11. his supporters

they disgrace themselves AND America

[guillaumeb]

14. Agreed.

And he validates their hatred with his official actions.

[malaise]

16. Greedy power seeking ReTHUGs

and their deplorables are responsible for this mess

[guillaumeb]

17. Trump IS the GOP.

He is not some aberration, as some in the media like to pretend. Trump has been the GOP since 1968.
