They are really enabling not just him and his crazy crap, but the entire Republican party's continued descent into dangerous absurdity.

That's what we're hearing over and over. Well, media celebs, there's really nothing to understand. No one has to comment. We all know that he's batshit crazy and he has the nuclear codes and he's obsessive compulsive about revenge. That he sits in that position right now is one of the greatest tragedies in modern history. And yet, every day, the Republicans are silent. It's Trump's party, and they are all behind Trump, no matter if he's delusional about the election, he's ready to punish his enemies since 2016, or if he has no political agenda touted during his campaign for re-election. I'm blaming the Republican Party because they can tell him to shut up and sit down, and they won't. The GOP is lying low hoping that Trump doesn't dynamite the nation, but that's exactly what he's doing and the GOP is frozen in its tracks. Historians are having a field day watching incredibly dramatic times and writing about history as it happens.

We know how this is going to end, and it will happen quickly. But the GOP and others can help. DON'T CALL HIM UP. DON'T TALK TO HIM ABOUT ANYTHING that can wait until January or February. Let him sit on his couch with his twitter app with nothing else to do for hours or days. Give him the hint.
