George W. Bushs former speechwriter and Senior Editor of the Atlantic took to Twitter on Friday morning to express his concern over Donald Trumps impending administration. Just hours ahead of Fridays inauguration ceremonies, Frum called Trump the the worst human being ever to enter the presidency.
He added, and I include all the slaveholders. In a follow up tweet, the former Bush staffer wrote, Andrew Jackson was at least physically brave. Frum served the Bush administration from 2000 to 2002 as a speechwriter for the president.

(31,121 posts)Slaveholder presidents were doing what was done by many, not good but not unusual for the time.
The KKK now has an official position in our White House in the form of Steve Bannon, as we all know, and since Trump is a known racist, all the more real.

(5,275 posts)Frum and others have some limits, others are proving they would support Charles Manson if he were the nominee.
My guess overall is the right will find a way to dump Orange Hitler and get Pence in there. Pence will not start WWlll but would be a disaster with social issues, and seems stuck in 1953.
