Robert Reich

(1) Incompetent. His first major legislative goal repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act -- just went down in flames.
(2) A liar. FBI Director James Comey said the FBI has no evidence to support Trumps trumped-up charge that Barack Obama wiretapped or otherwise monitored Donald Trump.
(3) The subject of an FBI investigation into possible collusion with Russian operatives to win the 2016 presidential campaign. Comey also said that by last July the FBI had accumulated enough credible evidence of such collusion begin its investigation.
It was not just a bad week for Trump. It also was an Emperors New Clothes week. Trumps braggadocio has now been revealed as a total sham. Hes incompetent, hes a liar, and he may well be a traitor.
Apart from his most ardent supporters, most of America is now waking up to the walking catastrophe who is now our president. Thats progress.
What do you think?

(16,917 posts)I have SO respected this man (Reich) ever since he was named Secretary of Labor. He must cringe when he sees who now runs that same department - like having the "bat boy" pinch hit for Henry Aaron.

He's a phony, a charlatan-- the election was stolen, so in my mind, he's a grotesque imposter

He didn't earn it
Never in a million years could he ever have legitimately won-- not with the same electorate who voted in President Obama. No way

(3,074 posts)I believe the election was stolen. Obviously, there was Russian meddling and influence. He lost the popular vote by millions.
I consider him a disgrace and I hate his entire agenda.

We can only hope he takes the rest of the repukes with him.

He will go down as the BIGGEST LOSER OF ALL TIME!

(894 posts)But there really should be a focus on Ryan.
We need him out, he has the potential to do more damage than Trump over the course of his career.
Plus the mistaken idea than he's some political genius on the right needs to be dispelled.
Why not both really, but I think Ryan gets ignored and has kept his rep as competent for too long.

(23,152 posts)HE's the basturd who a) oblstructed Obama's SCOTUS nomination, and b) attempted to blackmail Obama over releasing the stuff we had on tRump after the GOPee convention. If he hadn't done that, we might not be in this pickle with a dipsh*t for presiDunce.

And who knew that the Democrats would be the ones going on the offensive now.

It's actually a little creepy....
