[Great article from The Bulwark]: Everyone Trump Touches Dies: The List

[catbyte]

He revealed people for what they really were.

Every presidential administration chews up and spits out one or two people. There are always guys who enter an administration looking like normal, upstanding citizens and exit having been revealed as hucksters, frauds, or criminals. G. Gordon Liddy. Pat Buchanan. Cap Weinberger. John Poindexter. Sometimes the people who get rendered by a president are good guys who catch a bad break, like Mike Espy.

But the sheer number of people who had their lives and/or careers destroyed over four years of swimming in Donald Trump’s slipstream is kind of staggering.

(4) Sidney Powell was an anonymous career attorney. She checked boxes as an AUSA and then high-powered corporate lawyer. She could have enjoyed her autumn years as a member of the lower-upper class and retired quietly. Instead, she’ll forever be remembered as the Crazy Kraken Lady.

(5) Jeff Sessions was a senator for life. Then he endorsed Trump. As a reward, he was gifted the AG job. And then publicly humiliated. And then fired. And then Trump campaigned against him when he ran for his old Senate seat. Which he wound up losing to a washed up college football coach.

I know that might sound like a bad deal. But at least he got to separate Mexican kids from their families, put them in cages, and then send their parents home without their children. And for a good ole’ boy like Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, some things are priceless.

There are 14 in total, well, actually 300,014 in total, but this was back in December so there are many more to add to this list.

1. Omitted: his kids, esp. Ivanka

Trump insisted that Ivanka get adolescent plastic surgery and break augmentation.

Go to Google and look at the before and after pictures.

Braces on her teeth I can understand. Not creating a cosmetic Galatea for her father, Pygmalion.

Plus, she never had a chance to fail on her own and learn from her mistakes. She grew up distorted. She has no true friends. Her husband is as avaricious and power hungry as she is. She really imagined that she could get Kate Middleton to exchange cell phone numbers during her father's ill-fated trip to England.

Now all she has is delusions of running for office and winning. Perhaps POTUS one day.

4. "Perhaps POTUS one day."

And THAT would be the day I will "check out!"
