However, I do think that drawing attention to the fact that it is Congress that is systematically raping the country, and Donald Trump is merely rubber-stamping legislation they have long wanted to pass, is valuable. But he has done his bit through his own agency, in his Cabinet appointments and XOs that have thrown the federal bureaucracy into turmoil. It is a cooperative effort to torch the US federal government and loot the Treasury. And Congress will do nothing about the scandals and corruption so long as they need that rubber stamp in the Oval Office.

This was easily predictable, often predicted, and ignored by too many voters who should have known better.
