Secrecy and Suspicion are Unhealthy for a Democracy

Everything is a secret amongst the Family. The one thing that is required, to work in this White House, is loyalty.

There is a paranoia at the top. When he goes to the G-20 and meets behind closed doors with Vladimir Putin, he has only one person that he could trust to go with him. It was required. Normally, the National Security Adviser would be with the President in such meetings? There is an element of distrust.

The absolute refusal to be transparent. The large number of secret meetings with the Russians. How can the country not be suspicious??

they are now doing and supporting.

We are in a nation where 40% of us are ignorant racist assholes. I wish there was a way to split the country up , peacefully, without Putin riding in with his tanks and taking over.
