(343 posts)Each day he could start an international incident with his tweets. I think people are privately telling world leaders he's a buffoon and to ignore him. But he could still start WWIII. The whole thing is scary. I think it is possible that he could last another 3 years and then be flushed down the toilet of history. Or he could cause so much damage that America will take a generation to recover, if ever. But it is true that most Americans were under the impression the democratic institutions were stronger than they were. With a Congress that won't act, and Trump doing any damn thing he wants, the country has never been in more trouble. Trump just ignores convention, like releasing his taxes. No law say he has to, so he doesn't. Then there are things the law says he can't do, like personally profiting off the Presidency. He does that too, and nobody stops him. God help us all during this time of crisis.
