Much has been said in the past week about relying on "the generals'" and Sec. Tillerson's efforts to "contain" the president from going completely off the rails.
Maybe it's time to consider, rather than containing him, that we just get rid of him. I'm afraid he will break everything, if we wait too long.
Look at all he's broken just this week -- or at least tried to break. The Affordable Care Act, the Iran Nuclear Agreement, the rescue mission in Puerto Rico, the nuclear disarmament treaty, the fragile stand-off with North Korea.
Meanwhile, he's condoning his EPA Director's slashing most regulations designed to save our planet. His "voter fraud" tzar is finding ever more ways to suppress minority voting. His Attorney General is gutting civil rights, voting rights, racial justice, prison reform -- and that's all before breakfast. And, if Trump could, he would have taken control of the first amendment right to free speech and would have revoked broadcast licenses for CNN and MSNBC, the networks that dare to tell the truth about him. And now he's going to address a convention of the rabidly anti-LGBT Family Research Council.
His decision to gut the ACA and stop subsidy payments is opposed by a super-majority of Americans. According to a Kaiser Research poll, 71% think he should be doing everything he can to make the ACA work, while only 21% agree with the sabotage strategy. That's more than a third less than his base of supporters.
And he thinks these people will blame Democrats? No, Trump now owns any failure of Obamacare.
