I urgently urge Republican lawmakers to read a new Newsweek magazine report on the endless unconscionable business tactics current U.S. President Donald Trump has used throughout his business career to avoid accountability for his actions.

This review of Trump’s many decades of abusing the judicial system, ignoring judges, disregarding rules, destroying documents and lying about it is not simply a sordid history lesson,” Newsweek reporter Kurt Eichenwald writes. “Rather, it helps explain his behavior since he declared his candidacy. He promised to turn over his tax returns and his health records—just as he promised to comply with document discovery requirements in so many lawsuits—then reneged. As a result, he has left a sparse evidentiary trail that can be used to assess his wealth, his qualifications for the presidency or even his fitness. Should voters choose him to be the next U.S. president, he will enter the Oval Office as a mystery, a man who has repeatedly flouted the rules. He has solemnly told the country to trust him while refusing to produce any records to prove whether he speaks the truth or has utter contempt for it.”

His fervent supporters do not care. They are so invested in him, they so love to hear him speak the unspeakable, to flaunt his id, to say the terrible things they feel themselves, that nothing will change how they feel about him.

It is sort of like how certain men felt about John Wayne. He played heroic American guys, and they could never imagine that Wayne was not a war hero, or tough guy in real life. They were in awe of an artificial persona.

Trump has this quality. He says things that certain people want to believe. He acts heroic, although we all know he is not. He is an expert at devising short, pithy, and often derogatory sayings. He espouses simple solutions for complex problems. He is easy for a certain sort of person to admire.

That he is a jerk, a womanizer, a cheater at golf, an debtor, a bad businessman, and a terrible president is simply immaterial. If they have stood by this man this long, there is nothing that can change them now.

God help us all.

Article reveals Trump’s predatory lawlessness is lifelong model.


TRANSLATION: Look! We found another group of liberals fanatics who agree with us that Trump is a poopy-head, using the same vapid "facts" we do. Let's keep pretending it's so, and maybe we can get normal people to believe us for a change!

If this was 1980's he would not be in the WH, hands down. Interesting how times change, not the person, but the perception of the person.

That's actually a great comparison. Alice in Wonderland excerpts:


"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one minute to another."

Stuff like that didn't make the media much then compared to now.

In the 80s, when Reagan was in office, lying through his teeth, and growing government by leaps and bounds, the tabloid stuff didn't matter.

The only thing good about the Trump presidency is that conservatives have surrendered their moral high ground.

Now it's just "policy" going forward.
