Trump is a hider.

Trump never gets his own hands dirty. Evidence of something shady pops up and he becomes a walking, talking,disappearing act. He’s too low to do his own dirty work, too timid to claim ownership. Hence, the thug-surround every place he goes, every place he breathes.

He hides behind his order to send a disaster-relief “A-Game” to Alabama while he punitively withholds funds from not-red-enough California. He hides behind a massive, July 4th parade plan using “his generals” to take some of the stink off that pile of deferments he got during the Vietnam Nam War. He hides behind Ivanka and Lindsay Graham and ICE and Sean Hannity. He hides behind delusions of grandeur as some paid rally-goers hold up signs, BLACKS FOR TRUMP.

He’s a “stable genius” who hides a threat made to his school should they think about releasing his grades. He hides in his own imagination as he boasts about being the smartest, the richest, the most productive. He has the best genes, the best hair, the best chocolate cake. Hiding, hiding, hiding.

You don’t see him with his youngest son, or with a dog, or in a soup kitchen because he hides behind glitz and golden, throne-like chairs. He likes pilots who weren’t shot down. Hiding. He lets Mar-a-Lago buddies decide VA policy. Hiding. He appoints his son in law the head of everything. Hiding. He hugs the flag to hide his hatred for every principle it represents. He hides behind “Pocahontas” and “Fat Jerry” and a doctor’s announcement that Trump is the healthiest human on Planet Earth.

I’m curious, though. What will happen when we grab our flashlights and start singing “This little light of mine, I’m going to make it shine”..... Hide no more, Dirty Hands Man.

People Trump uses people until they decide not to be used any more or he turns on them when they are no longer of any use. Problem with that is they eventully run out of people to use. Trump is reaching that point.

I have seen too many not to know what they do.

Mob bosses are insulated from the actual crimes. This is how our national government operates now.

he’s too stupid to think that he’s going to walk away from the mess he’s perpetuated. I think (hope) that he’ll get the full punishment that a lying, conning, cheating, tax evading slime like he deserves. It may not be while he’s still in office, but I really don’t think he’s smart enough to cover his tracks. His fingerprints are on everything he touches. He went to Wharton, you know.

If anything intellegent ever dribbled across his lips, I’d agree with you more, but I really think he’s too dumb to think he’ll can cut any kind of caper undetected. The Presidency is his temporary cloak, soon to be burned.

That is his leverage... If the country wants him gone, then don't make him or his family pay for what he has done and let him retire into the life luxury like a crime boss. Hell, he probably thinks that he should be allowed to be granted some King title and the monarchy can be passed down to his heirs.

No? Then he will keep throwing a tantrum and he does not care if he destroys everything including his golden parachute.
