"Convergence is Worse than Collusion" The Atlantic

Quote:
While many Americans are concerned that the Trump campaign may have colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election, Trump’s outright convergence of interests with Vladimir Putin’s Russia may well prove far more damaging for U.S. interests in the long run. Convergence can be defined as distinct groups doing the same things for different reasons; or a unity of interests evolving from separate starting points. Both Putin and Trump seek to inject chaos into the U.S. political system. They support an assault on U.S. foreign-policy elites, encourage fringe and radical groups, and envision a U.S. untethered from traditional allies. They also share a willingness to utilize informal and semi-legal means to achieve their goals.
Quote:
Indeed, Trump and Putin are similar in many ways. Both Putin and Trump share a fundamental grievance—they feel looked down upon and disrespected. They distrust experts and the political elite, instead surrounding themselves with cronies chosen for their personal loyalty. In turn, they allow their cronies to get rich as long as they do the boss’s bidding. They create scapegoats and blame others for their troubles. They trade in conspiracy theories and lie without compunction. They insist on loyalty, embrace vengeance, shun outsiders, and exhibit the instincts of gangsters. They are bullies.

Why did 2 of Trump's aides feel the need to record him?

Hmmm. Perhaps because they know he’s a lying, conniving, snake-in-the-grass con artist?

President Donald Trump signed defense legislation named for Senator John McCain in a splashy ceremony at an upstate New York Army base on Monday without once mentioning the ailing Arizona Republican’s name.

Nothing but class for the Lying Dotard.

The shit-for-brains fraud isn't qualified to shine McCain's boots, nor should he touch them.

Trump Tweets about Omarosa

@realDonaldTrump

When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General Kelly for quickly firing that dog!

You know, even Trumpkins as vile as Whell must surely see the hypocrisy. I mean, she was as loyal as they come for 15 years, and now is speaking the truth about her time served as a loyal Trumpkin herself.

You think they would understand that even loyalty means nothing to Donny, he cares about nothing or no one but himself. Yet I’m certain Whell will be back, praising his Dear Leader, as his Trumpkin Nazi friends continue their undying support of this disgusting man.

The Constitution won’t let Trump silence White House aides

No matter how much the president loves them, the government can only enforce nondisclosure agreements for classified information.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...e-house-aides/

Sorry, Donny, but the Constitution protects us from your penchant for abuse and corruption. Too bad the congressional checks and balances aren’t working right now, but the judicial ones are, so far. When the full story of your misdeeds is fully revealed, you’ll go down in history as by far the worst, most corrupt, most vile person ever to occupy the Oval Office.
