has goaded, manipulated, and intimidated non compliant people within his sphere throughout his life.

Give them the personal touch, a personal phone call, an actual touch, "I'd consider this a personal favor for which I will owe you", pleading. And then the escalating insults custom tailored to each recipient intended to wound the ego as only he can imagine receiving. At last the threats, "I won't be your friend, anymore, I will cut off your money, I will raise your tariffs/taxes, I will send in my troops."

It's ironic, the action for which he called Pence a wimp was the bravest action Pence has probably ever taken. Some might say, he just did the job he was supposed to do, but he did it with the immediate threat from the most powerful person with a mad mob literally storming the gates.

Today's Republican "leaders" could learn a thing or two. Or, did they?

How about all of those billionaires? Have they been threatened? Are they scared or trying to take advantage while they can? They've suffered the slings and arrows of the public and are now committed to remaining the Felon's friend. They are now in charge of more multimedia than ever before and still acquiring more.

Our struggle will continue long after the worms have eaten away that vile flesh.
