From The Atlantic
"It may not be the newsiest—arguably it is the least newsy—but the most important moment in Wolff’s book are words attributed at second or third-hand to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell at the time of Donald Trump’s election. “He will sign anything we put in front of him.”
It's Been an Open Secret All Along
Who and what Donald Trump is has been known to everyone and anyone who cared to know for years and decades.
Before he was president, he was the country’s leading racist conspiracy theorist. Before he was the country’s leading racist conspiracy theorist, he was a celebrity gameshow host. Before he was a celebrity gameshow host, he was the multi-bankrupt least trusted name in real estate. Before he was the multi-bankrupt least trusted name in real estate, he was the protege of Roy Cohn’s repeatedly accused of ties to organized crime.
From the start, Donald Trump was a man of many secrets, but no mysteries. Inscribed indelibly on the public record were the reasons for responsible people to do everything in their power to bar him from the presidency.
Instead, since he announced his candidacy in mid-2015, Donald Trump has been enabled and protected."
Again, there's not likely to be any new information in Wolff's book The only thing that's new TO SOME [WHITE] PEOPLE is that the republicans that got behind him once they couldn't beat him in the primaries have known what Trump is too.
However, if Wolff has recordings of Republicans admitting that they planned to manipulate him knowing he's a nitwit, I'd like to hear them.
But I'm not buying a book that describes stuff black and brown folks knew already, especially if you lived in New York where Trump hails from.
The LowLife-In-Chief has always been transparent as glass.
By the way, anybody with half a brain would have been able to squash the Russia Investigation last year. In fact, Mueller wouldn't be investigating Trump if Trump hadn't fired that cowardly, BUT HER E-MAILS Twice Investigating, FBI Director James Comey.
The white section of the country was trying to settle things down. "Give him a chance" was being mumbled among whites, even some of the liberals. And the [mostly] white folks who didn't want to "Give him a chance" still wanted people to shut up and accept that he won.
In the beginning, except for the angriest, libby-est of liberals, most white folks just wanted everybody to calm down and let the Amoral Immoral White Supremacist President reign as best he could. The majority of the country, the white folks, were mostly not game for any sort of investigation into Trump's Russia ties
...until the firing ofFBI Director Comey. Then Charlottesville proved to white folks TOO that the LowLife-In-Chief is indeed an amoral, immoral lowlife nitwit that the republicans can't quite control.
And, to tell you the truth, I knew the side of Trump's Toxic Masculinity that faced women was ugly. But I did not predict the competition aspect between men.
I did not imagine a level of Toxic Masculinity so great that he'd taunt the leader of another country that is in the process of building nuclear weapons and follow up by shattering the fragile peace of the Middle East by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's homeland.
In the end, I'm not sure there's anything that can be used to remove Trump from office. So, once again, I'm reduced to just wanting to live long enough to see PANTHER
