There will be a lot of pain while this president is in office and the clock will turn back on many things. But we will come out stronger, once this last shriek of white supremacy and grievance and fear of the future is out of the system. Every day, President Trump teaches us what values we cherish and theyre the opposite of his.
My dad, a war veteran and decorated police hero, used to divide men into men and weasels.
...
When Trump buoyed the Ku Klux Klan and the neo-Nazis who had marched in Charlottesville with Tiki torches, Confederate flags, Nazi slogans, swastikas and banners reading Jews will not replace us even as one of their leaders told a Vice News reporter how disgusting it was that Trumps beautiful blond daughter was married to a Jewish man the president made it clear which category he is in.
For all the things he thinks make him a tough guy his macho posturing, his Twitter bullying, his swaggering and leering talk, his vulgar references to his anatomy hes no tough guy if he cant stand up to the scum of the earth. He followed the roar of the crowd to dark, violent places, becoming ever more crazed and isolated and self-destructive, egged on by the egotist and erstwhile White House strategist Steve Bannon but really led by his own puerile and insatiable ego.
Donald Trump has shown a fatal inability to listen to his better angels and stay on the side of the angels.
Or, as my father would say, hes a weasel
