just one of the many ironies these days is that any person or country that wants to weaken and destroy the various components of USA's democracy, have no better path than to leave "the dreamsicle" alive and in power.

as he descends into further dimentia which simply compounds and accelerates all his other selfish destructive & impulsive policies and decisions. China, N Korea, Russia and Iran among others, have no better catalyst for the destruction of the USA than leaving him in the saddle....costing them zero soldiers or dollars....why on earth would they eliminate that level of help?

There may be precedent for a president being shuttled onto a different plane for safety, but there is no precedent for a president who treats the entire citizenry as his decoys. We are all on the decoy plane except for those who have paid fantastic sums or sold their souls to the man who would love to make an example of our deaths.

"This much is clear: The Trump administration has antagonized the press to a level I’ve never seen. “In 2000, there was a high level of trust between my office and the media,” Lockhart says.

What does he mean? The MSM, legacy press, billionaire press (whatever they are named), is slavishly reporting what they are being told, no fact checks, no counters.

It's an abusive relationship, just like in a marriage. The MSM loves, Trump, but he doesn't reciprocate.
