  1. 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. There can be no other gods in an extreme narcissist’s world,  because as far as Trump is concerned, he is god. 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.

  2. Facebook removed a number of posts and ads run by Trump’s campaign that featured a symbol used by the Nazis for violating its “policy against organized hate”. The takedown on Thursday came amid increasing pressure on Facebook from civil rights leaders, politicians, and the company’s own employees. The removed ads featured an image of an inverted red triangle with a black border. The inverted red triangle was used by the Nazis to identify political prisoners in concentration camps during the Holocaust. The campaign ads with the symbol were published by Trump’s Facebook page as well as Mike Pence’s account. Well at least Trump isn't pretending anymore. It must be a relief to his goose-stepping followers. "There is no question that Charlottesville wouldn’t have occurred without Trump. It really was because of his campaign and this new potential for a nationalist candidate who was resonating with the public in a very intense way. The alt-right found something in Trump. He changed the paradigm and made this kind of public presence of the alt-right possible. --Richard Spencer, Alt-right neo-nazi and white-supremacist David Duke, the former Klan leader, who participated in the Charlottesville rally, called what happened there a “turning point” for his own movement, which seeks to “fulfill the promises of Donald Trump.”
