Without a doubt, Trump has failed to do what a patriotic president should do: put the national interest first. His malignant narcissism explains his passivity. He cannot fathom the thought that he owes the presidency to anything other than his magnificence. Us Americans, who still cherish democracy and national sovereignty need to discuss a bigger and darker question. To what extent will the president and congressional Republicans emulate a Putin regime and allow Russian interference to help their party in the 2018 cycle? “Trump shares with Putin and his oligarchic kleptocracy a hatred for non-white immigrants, the cultivation of Christian extremists to the detriment of Muslims and LGBTQ community, a derisive disregard for NATO and global trade, a fetish for the bloody NRA, a contempt for the non-sycophant media, and an affinity for dictatorial regimes." We, the people, were attacked as people. We need to respond as a people, as well. #americaunderattack #45soldusout #shitholepresident #americaisgreatwithouttrump #wearegreatwitheachother
