(15,257 posts)7. Great piece, H2O Man. But we give trump credit where he just a convenient foil
To quote you:
He has enlarged the divisions between different groups, by exploiting the anxieties and fears found within the nation. He has called upon white nationalists to become active agents in society, even calling Nazis good people. He repeatedly calls the media the enemy of the people, encouraging threatening behaviors at his rallies. He has attacked law enforcement and judges. He insults Congress. With all of this on the domestic front, it is no surprise that some disturbed individuals have lashed out violently. Indeed, the only surprise is that more right wingnuts haven't struck out at innocent victims.
Even if the idiot worked a full 8 hours a day he would not have the time to be so incredibly destructive. And we all know he doesn't have the intelligence or knowledge to be a player in domestic or world affairs.
He's a tired old man with no talent except for self-absorption. He benefited from a large family money pot but managed to sink it into failed real-estate and other money laundering ventures.
Someone is aiding, abetting, and arranging how this is to be played. US, foreign, multi-national? Ideological or just pure power and wealth? This will be known.
