Trump to continue travel, holding rallies as President

Trump told the crowd at his recent Alabama rally that he will continue to hold rallies around the country as President.
I guess he'll just let his "kids" run the country.

'course, that'll keep him too busy for those bothersome intelligence briefings.

I'm reminded of what Gov Kasich of Ohio's staff reported.
When the Trump folks were feeling Kasich out as a possible V.P., Kasich was told he could be in charge of foreign and domestic policy.
When asked what Trump would be doing, they were told Trump would travel the country "making America great again".

she said years ago the Drumpf had a copy of Mein Kampf on his bedside table. He has studied Hitler thoroughly. Not much else apparently, but Hitler, yes. He knows the drill; all the buttons and levers to push. THIS is the danger. He knows he has to keep the mindless hoards crazed and ready to rumble, and he do these rallies of irrelevant drivel. but leave the presidenting to others. Look at the old black and white films of the German rallies in the 30s. It's exactly what he is doing right now. He plans to stay, and not just for 4 years. Or eight.

before a "crisis" emerges, causing him to claim the title of president for life.

And Republicans will accept and welcome it, because it means they get to do as they please.

Dems will lie down and say "how may we serve" in hopes of being allowed to stay in office as token resistance.

I have a very hard time seeing any light at the end of this tunnel. We've no chance to even fix the voting system or deal with suppression because the only places we have any power at all are in states that are already blue.

I moved to San Diego around 1976 and got a one bedroom apartment for $125 a month.
Last I heard it would be around $1400 a month for any one bedroom in which you'd want to live.

We're not going to be able to stop him having his. The only thing that will do that is when people really see what a mistake they have made and start despising him for all the damage he does to them.
