Are Trump and his Congressional Sycophants Traitors?

‘Under Trump the GOP Has Become a Cult’
By Calvin Trillin

https://www.thenation.com/article/tr...p-become-cult/

So why do they maintain their loyalty
Despite his lies, despite the fact that he
Acts like a child instead of an adult?
’Cause it’s a cult.

Why would his people always cheer for him
While he, in tweets that are profoundly dim,
Just flails around for allies to insult?
’Cause it’s a cult.

His crude remarks imply we should unite
To keep out anyone who isn’t white.
That language tends to make his troops exult,
’Cause it’s a cult.

It seems impossible that they’re not seeing
Their leader as a dreadful human being.
But most of them don’t leave as a result,
’Cause it’s a cult.

Even the editorial board of the conservative WSJ understands that Donny committed treason. Wake up, Whell, you are being held captive by a cult.

I'm paywalled for that particular article. That said, I suspect the WSJ, who has never been a fan of the Trump presidency, probably didn't go so far as to use the word "treason" in the article you posted. As far as I know, that word is reserved to the truly rabid Never Trumpers, or leftist whack jobs. I'm sure you know the type.

Mr. Trump marched through Europe with more swagger than strategy. His diplomacy is personal, rooted in instinct and impulse, and he treats other leaders above all on how much they praise Donald J. Trump. He says what pops into his head to shock but then disavows it if there’s a backlash. He criticizes institutions and policies to grab headlines but then claims victory no matter the outcome... Monday’s joint press conference was a personal and national embarrassment. On stage with the dictator whose election meddling has done so much harm to his Presidency, Mr. Trump couldn’t even bring himself to say he believed his own intelligence advisers like Dan Coats over the Russian strongman.

And yes, the WSJ is pro-Trump. Just read Kimberly Strassel's pieces on their Op-Ed page. She's at least as big a Trump cultist as you are. Whether or not they used the word "treason," they certainly made the argument that his behavior gave "aid and comfort to the enemy" (the constitutional definition of treason). It's sad that it's gotten to the point that a valid argument can be made that the president is treasonous and the only defense of him boils down to a semantic argument.

Uh no, not so much.

The Wall Street Journal editorial board's blistering rebuke of Donald Trump on Tuesday was only the latest chapter in an antagonistic relationship between the president and a usual standard-bearer of conservative media.
Throughout Trump's campaign and into his young presidency, the Journal's editorial writers have repeatedly cast a wary eye. They have questioned his economic acumen and temperament, and even suggested at one point that the Republican Party might have to write Trump off in order to salvage its prospects in other races.

Almost exactly one year ago, the editorial board found itself ensnared in a public feud with Trump after questioning his chances of winning the general election. Trump called the writers "dummies"; the editorial board responded by saying, "The truth hurts."

You're like the weather forecasters here in MI. You're wrong far more than you're right, but it just doesn't matter to you and you keep forging ahead with your inaccuracies.

Perfect description of you.

Read Kimberly Strassel. She's every bit the wingnut, conspiracy theorist Trump cultist you are. Take a look at just the titles and synopses of her articles for the WSJ.

Characterizing the WSJ as anti-Trump is relative. Just because they don't write only puff pieces like Fox or Breitbart doesn't make them anti-Trump. They support him but don't want to appear as slavishly sycophantic as you. I guess you didn't follow the story of (Pulitzer prize winning journalist) Bret Stephens quitting the WSJ due to its Trump sycophancy.

Hey Whell, when it all falls apart, yer boy Donny is in handcuffs, and they come asking you to drink the Kool-Aid, take Nancy Reagan’s advice:

While I had a great meeting with NATO, raising vast amounts of money, I had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of Russia. Sadly, it is not being reported that way - the Fake News is going Crazy!
