Desperate men do stupid things: President Trump wastes taxpayer dollars by sending Federal troops to cities

While he may have the Constitutional right to do so (you can look it up), President Trump is actually doing the wrong thing by sending Federal forces into places like Portland and Chicago to put a stop to peaceful protests, exacerbating the situations with violence that isn't needed.



"WAAAHH!! Lock them all up! I don't care how!"

And thus, Trump's critics, and they are a growing legion, will claim he's a fascist, the same kind of ruthless ruler that we fought in World War II (i.e. Mussolini). Trump's support base, mostly suburban closet bigots and brainwashed evangelicals, either will gloss this over, or finally wake up to the reality that Trump isn't fit to lead.

Trump's niece, Mary, so much as said so in an interview with CBS' Stephen Colbert Wednesday night on The Late Show. Mary Trump believes that her uncle's bragging about passing a cognitive test may be a sign of dementia. She's a psychologist, so she'd have an idea.

Add to that the fact that Trump has again, as he said four years ago, stated that he might not accept defeat at the polls on November 3. He doesn't get it. His critics will tell you he's drunk with power. The power trip is fueled by Trump's own ego, realizing he's on the biggest stage in the world as President, and, like the spoiled man-child he is perceived to be by the media that he thinks betrayed him, the perception is that he doesn't want to give up said power, as if it were a precious, beloved toy.

That said, come January 20, if he's lost his re-election bid, he might have some guys in white suits, wielding butterfly nets, waiting for him.....
