'Unravelling': Trump accused of 'breathtaking sabotage' against the U.S. economy

[William769]

President Donald Trump has been working at breakneck speed to eliminate federal programs, prompting an opinion columnist with The Washington Post to ponder, "Is there anything Trump won't destroy?"

Columnist Dana Milbank used the metaphor of Trump wielding an ax to chop down not only a 200-year-old magnolia tree at the White House, but the very Constitution on which the United States was founded.

Trump announced this week that he was getting rid of the tree planted by Andrew Jackson because, he wrote, it had become “a very dangerous safety hazard.” Milbank conceded that the explanation was "plausible," but what was Trump's justification for paving the storied Rose Garden into a “stone surface”?

"The same day Trump announced the execution of the Jackson magnolia, he swung another ax at the 237-year-old U.S. Constitution, this time maintaining that he’s 'not joking' about illegally seeking a third term," Milbank wrote.

1. I'm not sure who is doing the "accusing" and which venue that accusal can be acted upon.

It sounds like it is Dana Milbank of the WaPo doing that action. And the WaPo is in bed with the trump regime.

I agree with the words in that piece, just find they don't have the strength of action needed.

2. These days, I'll take what I can get.

3. Not to mention sabotage against the rest of the world's economy.

5. Like a child, he's testing the boundires of his unchecked power.

Republicans are all in with him. They've made it clear for 25 years that democracy doesn't work for them and their anti-democratic mission.

8. He's not cognitively viable. We all know that. This is not complicated.

We hired a complete incompetent and now must get the house to jettison him.
