A President who is insane and obviously no one who can get control of that insanity.

When Bush was President, I was in a constant state of anxiety. BUT...I still felt that nothing major could happen to America as a whole because there were people around Bush who would stay in control of the situation. Bush wasn't necessarily dangerous in my thinking. He was more ill-informed and stupid. Disengaged, if you will.

But Trump is another story. Trump is very muchly engaged in retribution against anyone who has caused him grief in the past. Obama, the NFL, etc. Payback for lack of loyalty. Trump has a focus and he has a purpose. That purpose is what's best for Trump. He doesn't give a damn about his supporters. He doesn't give a damn about anyone. He doesn't give a damn about that which is America. That's what scares me about Trump.
