The policy and politics of Trumpism

[MattinBama]

Trump flew into a rage every time US intelligence warned him about Russia, so officials gave up briefing him on it, report says

Officials learned to avoid the topic of Russia, briefing Trump less and less, because he would blow up at them if they warned him, CNN reported.

I'm not going to give my opinion and spoil all the fun, but what does this stage remind you of?
I think my jaw fell open when I saw it.

Simon & Schuster Moves Up Release Of Mary Trump’s Bombshell Memoir

Simon & Schuster also released the back cover of the book in which Mary Trump, who is a clinical psychologist, lays out how her uncle “suffered deprivations” as a child that would “scar him for life.”

“Today, Donald is much as he was at three years old: incapable of growing, learning, or evolving, unable to regulate his emotions, moderate his responses, or take in and synthesize information,” she writes.

The book also reveals how Mary Trump became the primary source of the New York Times’ explosive 2018 investigation into the Trump family’s tax evasion schemes.

No surprise that most all elected officials receiving PPP loans are well healed and Republicans. Moscow Mitch's wife's ( secretary of transportation. Elaine Chao) family in the transportation business received PPP funding. SMH, again.

Bill Barr Is Incredibly Corrupt. He’s Also Incredibly Inept.

Perhaps Barr’s ignorance about the role of the prosecutor helps explain his ineptitude, but that hardly excuses it.

No doubt that Democrats would be doing this, too. But whataboutisms aren't going to fly right now. The GOP has reached a level of corruption never seen before in American politics.
