We had to previous presidents in our lifetimes who broke the bond with his party's supporters and imploded a party. LBJ manufactured a war so as to not be seen as "soft" on communism because he realized Goldwater was his opponent, and he was standing in JFK's shadow. The result was the fracturing of FDR's coalition and McGovern (and eventually the Clintons).Trump was the greatest embarrassment to America - ever!
He was ignorant.
He refused to be briefed on important matters.
He bristled at every attempt to ask an intelligent question because he had no real answers only naked ego driven belligerence.
He had to have folks explain policy. He did not understand the laws of the land - or even seemed to care about them?
He was a grifter and a con and he was seriously compromised by his business entanglements in the international theatre.
He was laughed at by Statemen globally. Putin could do what he wished with him as could the Saudi Sheiks. He was in bed with China for all his and his family's many business interests.
He broke up trade agreements with allies only to make virtually no changes - or worse change - just because he could and he loved the Ego trip and the fawning adoration of sycophants who can't tell their ass from their elbows.
He fired all the decent hires and he hired all the useless yes men with no backbones but who understood the need to kiss the ring...
Joe has his faults - but no one doubts his resolve to look after American interests and the interests of its allies.
The Generals, the Bankers, the Economists, the intelligence community the Congress and the Senate are all pretty much the same Americans they have always been - only now you have someone who listens to the team and reads the briefings and not someone who is merely pursuing his own nepotistic agenda and threatening all into submission around him.
America has a President and not a wannabe Dictator.
That is called progress.
W manufactured a war to create a democratic republic in Iraq in and effort to defeat radical Islam. The result was fracturing what was left of a fiscally sound and constitutionally conservative party. And Trump. We're seeing the dying end of it in the Supreme Court, where 3 republicans want to do away with separation of "church" and state, and 3 who still cling to the remains.
