He thinks the job is just another opportunity to cheat others and boost himself, which has been his whole career. He just doesn't know any other mode of behavior. The question is, are Americans as dumb as he is?
The early part is correct enough. Trump wound up with the wrong values for his job description.
I am not sure the 'Americans' being dumb is the correct characterization. They see baby killing, gun theft and hurting the minorities (and thus the younger generations) as a higher priority. They are still into the voodoo economics theory of stimulus even in good times, in spite of the prior results of voodoo economics. They have an agenda, and will support anyone who gives that agenda lip service.
The question is whether American basics such as free elections and human rights are rated higher than the unraveling agenda. So far, the Republican Senators seem to be counting on it not being so.
I think sticking with Trump will buy them another year, then the independent voters will flip the flop again. I am hoping for conviction and removal, but don't anticipate one. The sham trial, though, might hurt the Republicans really bad.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
