  1. Trump tricks his kool-aid guzzling cult into believing that he's going to be tough on China, he then turns around and drops to his knees at President Xi's feet, sobbing, blubbering, groveling, and pleading with him to do whatever he can to help him get reelected. 😂 This is the same so called tuff guy that used brute force on peaceful protesting American citizens just so he could have a 5 minute photo op. Utterly disgusting Make no mistake, most republicans on Capitol Hill are fully aware of exactly who and what Trump is. They know that Trump is an existential threat to America, to our Constitution, and to our democratic institutions. Trump is a criminal minded, narcissistic sociopath who never puts anyone or anything before himself, unless he's physically using that person or thing as a shield. What most of us would call treason or betrayal, Trump calls it " looking out for the only thing that matters" himself. Trump has always been a self-absorbed extreme narcissist. Every decision Trump has ever made in his entire life, before and and since he became president, has been based solely on his own best interests. Ego rules supremely in a narcissist’s life. And What motivates Trump is whatever fuels his ego, things like power, control, adulations, praises, cruelty to others, and personal monetary gain. Another way that an extreme narcissist like Trump energizes his ego is through playing the role of the victim. The goal of Trump's deception is to make you believe that he suffers more than you, or anyone for that matter. Trump is incredibly adept at the game of manipulation, especially when it comes to his gullible and cultish base. So instead of taking responsibility for his actions, and the consequences that results from them, he tries to make others feel responsible for his plight. Because In the eyes of an extreme narcissist like Trump, their actions and behavior are always right and totally justified. Trump and republicans continue to rage against the Constitution in their ongoing war with our democratic republic. They have made it abundantly clear that we must vote them out of office in order for our democracy to survive.

  2. What we've learned so far from Bolton’s book is that obstruction of justice is not the exception in Trump's White House, it's the #1 rule. And apparently, it only gets worse from there. Asking countries like Russia, China and Ukraine for quid pro quos to help him get reelected seems to be the #2 rule. Trump unwittingly admitted to obstruction of justice in his May 2017 interview with Lester Holt. In the interview, Trump said he fired James Comey because he wouldn't shutdown the Russia investigation. I say unwittingly because Trump doesn't believe he obstructed justice, because he doesn't actually believe in the concept of justice to begin with. And he certainly doesn't believe in law & order. Trump: "I do solemnly swear, that I will faithfully desecrate the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, pervert, offend, and violate the Constitution of the United States. So help me Putin...OR Gyna....if you're listening."
