Robert Reich: Donald Trump Has Become The Mad King
BY ROBERT REICH ON 3/19/18 AT 10:00 AM

Trump is moving into a new and more dangerous phase.

Before, he was constrained by a few “adults”—Rex Tillerson, Gary Cohn, H.R. McMaster, and John Kelly—whom he appointed because he thought they had some expertise he lacked.

Now he’s either fired or is in the process of removing the adults. He’s replacing them with a Star Wars cantina of toadies and sycophants who will reflect back at him his own glorious view of himself, and help sell it on TV.

Narcissists are dangerous because they think only about themselves. Megalomaniacs are dangerous because they think only about their power and invincibility. A narcissistic megalomaniac who’s unconstrained—and who’s also president of the United States—is about as dangerous as they come.

1. Looks like he had massive assistance from Cambridge A and Facebook

Is it legal to conspire to rig elections? Or does the GOP just not care?

3. Republicans don't care

as long as it puts them in power.

Even if a foreign dictator helps them pervert our elections, that are good with it!

Republican motto: Party ideology over country, over God, over EVERYTHING!

2. I only wish that

mad king would have some sort of health issue.

4. The intent is clear. He will try to save himself by having seasoned TV

talking heads go on TV and do some Trumpsplaining to the 60%+ and rising of the nation who thinks him a fascist.

Turning the Presidency into a ratings game...doomed to fail because Fox propaganda has to face Truth outside the Fox cult bubble.
