We have no national security. None.

This clown has dismantled every aspect of our security.

From the intelligence agencies, to our military (selling them out to our enemies, and also abandoning our allies), to our infrastructure, our environment, our economy (it's been hallowed out and is supported on the backs of our over-exploited service industries), and now our very health.

This idiotic ban on travel from Europe does NOT make us safer, it makes us less safe.
Why? It is one more slap in the face to our former best allies.
Instead of working with them, we are working against them.

The global threat this virus poses won't be solved by any one country going it alone.

This president has achieved more than even Putin ever imagined.

2. It's not Trump which has done this foul deed. It is REPUBLICANS.

Trump could not shit his pants by himself if Republicans were committed to stopping him. But they are not, so he does. And then he does worse. Because they let him.

3. Point very well taken. They have enabled a Putin puppet to take down our country.

Because Russian rubles are more important than their so-called patriotism.

Every Republican disgusts me.

They are morally bankrupt.

Every Republican is my enemy.

4. And they stay silent to stand by him with full knowledge he is a mentally unstable disaster

No thought for the disastrous consequences of the unfailing, unwavering support they give in public, while privately expressing their recognition of just how dangerous this man is.

And they are doing everything in their power to see him him re-elected.

DT would have been toast within months if even 20% of the sycophants in congress said publicly what they think and express to each other in private. (And of course deny, deny, deny, when the truth seeps out.)

His weak protests never amounted to actual action.
