A simple question .

If a person manage to become president
of this great republic for the sole purpose
of destroying it and all the ideals it
stands for I figured he could not do
more harm than what Trump is doing.
Which begs the question why is Trump
doing this?

surprised himself, and now he's hoist on his own petard of rash campaign 'promises,' which he's tried to implement.

We all wonder why the fuck he is doing this, too. There are easier ways for him to make money - does he have to flush the country down the toilet while he's doing it?

The only answer most of us can come up with is that he is doing someone else's bidding. The most obvious is Putin.
