The great crackup: Trump is coming even more undone
“Our great American companies are hereby ordered...”
The subtle meter in Americans’ brains that tracks the degree to which the universe seems off its axis has been in a state of constant flux since Donald Trump’s election in 2016, but this week the needle slammed hard into the peg on the right side of the gauge. Red warning lights are flashing across Washington as even the now-typical levels of uncertainty and political chaos reach epic proportions.
It’s almost as if we need a recalibration of the insanity of the Trump era, a new set of definitions about what comprises normal presidential behavior.
Because what’s happening now left normal five towns back, stopped for smokes and brown liquor, and tossed the GPS out the window. This week wasn’t normal, and no amount of whistling past the graveyard will make it any different.
Oh yeah? Wait 'til next week!

Trump's presidency is just a continual series of "Hold my beer" moments.

Yeah, the crazy train left the station a long time ago. It's not news any more.

A self-entitled crazy guy who inherited his money - that's the definition of an aristocrat.
Laughing at him wont do any good without people turning out to vote.

Is there some sort of limit that the American people will spit the dummy over, in terms of a President's insanity, or is it a bit like slowly boiling a frog?

The Chinese are behind everything. Possibly even sending Mexican rapists and hurricanes to America:
On Sunday senior aides in Trump's entourage accused the G7 host Macron, of seeking to embarrass his US counterpart by making the summit focus on "niche issues" such as climate change, according to multiple US media reports.
Trump is a climate change skeptic who once had claimed it's a hoax that was invented by the Chinese.

O Yes, Yes, Yes and Double-yes! With all those mass shootings in schools, what the US of A needs more than anything else right now is an advocate for

Man, that video is worth watching in its entirety. Be sure to take some sedatives first, though.
