A segment with some true Trump believers on yesterday’s “All Things Considered” had me shaking my stiff neck. A participant named Paul stated, “When a governor says they are more okay with people dying than the president doing something good, then we’ve got problems.” He was immediately challenged and had to admit, with apparent humor, that “No, no, no, no one said those words.” What can be done about such a person, who is so enamored of Trump that he lies like him? Paul then goes on to say, “Looking at the state of the nation right now, we’re recovering at such a rate that we’re already better than we were when Trump initially took office.” Economically this is absolutely not true.
Whenever it is that Democrats once again control both houses of Congress and the White House, how will Republicans react if the President says, “I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president,” and acts accordingly? By following Trump, Republicans are setting themselves up for the potential of extreme and unrelenting payback. Fortunately for them, if Biden wins he isn’t that kind of guy.
