Why are Americans so servile to a clown president?
OPINION 11:30 AM BY HEATHER MALLICK TORONTO STAR
Why are Americans so obedient, so servile? That isnt the image they hope to show the world but there they are, a herd of sheep in Trumps presence, baaa-ing approvingly.
Everybody feels the evil, but no one has courage or energy enough to seek the cure, Alexis de Tocqueville wrote of Americans in 1830. Again, why?
Donald Trump stumps up to the podium every day and makes a fool of himself. He spouts nonsense for hours thus replicating his now-dead campaign rallies, lying, talking nonsense, insulting women, shouting at men, threatening to fire government staff for disagreeing with him, planning vengeance on Democratic governors, pronouncing words wrong and adding numbers incorrectly, sending crude racist remarks over to China, and making his terror and neediness plain.

I wish one of the extremely rich, white men physically close to Trump at his daily pep rally would turn to him on camera and say No. Youre a president not a king, youre a crook and a phony and a moron, too mean and stupid to be allowed to destroy the nation we love.
