DISLOYAL, THE FOREWORD: THE REAL REAL DONALD TRUMP
The President of the United States wanted me dead.
Or, let me say it the way Donald Trump would: He wouldnt mind if I was dead. That was how Trump talked. Like a mob boss, using language carefully calibrated to convey his desires and demands, while at the same time employing deliberate indirection to insulate himself and avoid actually ordering a hit on his former personal attorney, confidant, consigliere, and, at least in my heart, adopted son.
Driving south from New York City to Washington, DC on 1-95 on the cold, gray winter morning of February 24th, 2019, en route to testify against President Trump before both Houses of Congress, I knew he wanted me gone before I could tell the nation what I know about him. Not the billionaire celebrity savior of the country or lying lunatic, not the tabloid tycoon or self-anointed Chosen One, not the avatar @realdonaldtrump of Twitter fame, but the real real Donald Trumpthe man very, very, very few people know.
If that sounds overly dramatic, consider the powers Trump possessed and imagine how you might feel if he threatened you personally. Heading south, I wondered if my prospects for survival were also going in that direction. I was acutely aware of the magnitude of Trumps fury aimed directly at my alleged betrayal. I was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses and I kept the speedometer at eighty, avoiding the glances of other drivers. Trumps theory of life, business and politics revolved around threats and the prospect of destructionfinancial, electoral, personal, physicalas a weapon. I knew how he worked because I had frequently been the one screaming threats on his behalf as Trumps fixer and designated thug.

Seriously, DHS should remove him. After all, they are *supposed* to protect the country from terrorists.

Drive 70 MPH on that highway and you'll be passed like you were tied to a post.

A HERETIC I AM
(24,368 posts)But in all seriousness, people haul ass on 95, of that there can be no doubt.
I drove up to Connecticut from Jacksonville in 2018 and did the 750 miles to DC in just under 10 hours total time, including stops for fuel and the restroom, and I was by no means the fastest guy on the road.

(12,375 posts)Average actual speed is 78mph. You will be passed by 10% of cars if you are going 78.

(12,051 posts)I did, I was going 90 and was right in with the regular traffic flow.
Nay
(12,051 posts)JUst kidding. But you'd get the side eye for impeding the flow of traffic.

(57,073 posts)Truly, DHS needs to remove him. He is beyond unstable & has consistently demonstrated his intention to destroy our country.
It is DHS's job to protect the country.
Hekate
(90,674 posts)We failed at impeachment. His Cabinet is not making a move.
That leaves assassination and a national election. One of those is illegal.

(57,073 posts)Coulda shoulda woulda won't cut it if he nukes something in a manic tantrum.

(57,073 posts)I think it would bring the other traitors up short tbh.
But they won't take action anyway.
Patriarchy is always reactive, rather than proactive.
He is a very real, clear, and present danger to the republic.
