TRUMPISM defined: "a violent fairytale of revenge on political enemies."

I think it's time we start covering Trumpism for what it is now.

It's no longer a political movement. It's a violent fairytale of revenge on political enemies.

Feds could've found a body in those Mar a Lago boxes and followers wouldn't care. It's about retribution, not facts.

He had the potential to cause a lot of pain to their enemies. They must have been so excited when he stepped into the political arena. I suspect all they honestly think about is how to hurt others.

If that's the pithy name we're calling it now, fine, but never let the people who made it possible off the hook.
