2. Republicans had their chance to remove him

They knew he was both dangerous and incompetent

They chose to keep him in office

9. Exactly. Trump-Republicons own this crisis as much as they own him

Trump-Republicons own this crisis

Republicons plowed the ground for tRump
Republicons seeded the ground with trumpanzees
Republicons created tRump as a Republ Icon in 2015-16
Republicons elected tRump candidate
Republicons endorsed tRump
Republicons voted for tRump
Republicons enable tRump
Republicons defend tRump
Republicons lie for tRump
Republicons protect tRump

Trump-Republicons own this.

Soon even Republicons will die for tRump.

12. We are living in surreal times. His supporters picked him because

they believed in Trump's business acumen. But Trump isn't well-rounded and he will bring the country down because he doesn't have a broad base of knowledge nor empathy for those in the social brackets below his.

Where have I seen this before?
