Today Marked the Beginning of the End of Trump

Today Marked the Beginning of the End of Trump
After his performance today, no one can pooh-pooh away the possibility of the president empowering people who want a race war.
Michael Tomasky 08.15.17 7:50 PM ET

That was the beginning of the end.

The end may take six months, or 18, or two years, or three and change. God forbid it could take longer. But that press conference opened a new door.

The door leads to the grim place where no person in a position of responsibility in this country can now deny Donald Trump’s unfitness for the presidency.

This is the president of the United States we’re talking about.

Trump gathered up the civic fabric, doused it with gasoline, and set it on fire.

even if I doubt it will happen.

America has it's first Nazi President. My dad and all the others that fought the fucking nazis in WW2 must be spinning in their graves.

I served this country to and now its ruled by David Duke and alt-reich murderers.

The death toll will rise, Trump totally empowered his brownshirts to main and kill and I have no doubt that they will.

Again and again and again.

The ONLY thing we have seen the GOP get upset about is Milo talking about sex with little boys. Anything else, is OK with those morons.

think about pardoning dylan roof which is a very real possibility (after arpaio). Will that be enough for impeachment?!

All things considered, very few elected republicans went against trump today.

Take that shit to the bank.

Roof and the white supremacist that just tried to blow up a bank. I wouldn't put anything past Fuhrer Dump after last night.

Fuck does Trump know about the Aryan Nation prison gang?

He could pardon all those bastards and restock his administration if any of them grow a conscience by tomorrow.

supporters & spineless excuses for GOP leaders would find some way to excuse or ignore Twitler goose stepping out sporting a Fashie while wearing a nazi uniform, shiny boots, a little mustache & shouting, "Seig heil me!".

Twitler's cultists are excusing him so ardently that I suspect the 72% of Republicans who still support the Orange Nazi agree with him. But they will never admit it, tho. At least not today.

Today, Trump made his own illegitimacy clear. But that doesn’t end his presidency, or the damage he can do.


In other words, this may be the end of Trump, or the end of our democracy. And I really don't like the honest answer my gut is telling me about which it will be.
