Wait for some much more intelligent, more malevolent, more damaging folks to occupy the executive branch.
Coming soon to a theater near all of us.

He whole fully lacks the proper judicial temperament, emotional control, and his is a partisan political operative for the Fascist Republican Party. He is a prevaricating liar to boot.
