Besides, he's probably suffering from some mental or physical infirmity which makes him incapable of understanding, much less carrying out, his duties. It may not even be his fault. And its not the fault of the voters that put him in power, either. Even in a fully functional constitutional democracy, the electorate is bound to make a mistake and put the wrong man into office every now and then. Its happened before, and no doubt it will happen again. The real blame should be laid squarely on those who, after seeing him at work and after having the opportunity to study his temperament, morals and intellect for over three years (even longer when his entire career is available for inspection) they have continued to look the other way and make excuses for this contemptible grotesque buffoon simply because he pandered to their vilest and foulest instincts, prejudices and naked self-interest. You knew exactly what kind of man you were getting, and what kind of President he would be. And you had every chance to help control him after it became abundantly clear to everyone, (even you!) just what a monster you put in the White House. Enjoy your social policy rollbacks, environmental outrages and your sanctimonius "cultural" victories. And I hope you get to spend your tax cuts in Hell, which is where every one of you Judases belong. <em>"Jesus, why'd you pick such a backward time and nation? Israel in 4BC had no mass communication." </em> Happy Easter. Donald Trump is just in way over his head, he is temperamentally, morally and intellectually unfit to solve a truly complex problem like this, in spite of the vast resources at his disposal. Besides, he’s probably suffering from some mental or physical infirmity which makes him incapable of understanding, much less carrying out, his duties. It may not even be his fault.

The nation has been around quite a while now, and the next president needs to at least “believe” it's being run by responsible adults. “ 'We were flying the plane with no instruments,’ one official said.” Really like to know who said that. Excellent! I would include “and no windows.” Seems the “experts” (i.e., his own health and human services secretary and top public health experts) with whom the man likes to surround himself are simple extracts of those “Deep State” alarmists he’s been complaining about for years.

“ ‘We were flying the plane with no instruments,’ one official said.”

Really like to know who said that. Excellent! I would include “and no windows.”
