As my grandmother would say, God forbid this ever happens....but......
tRump only believes the wayward voices he hears in his own head. tRumps paranoia and arrogance around US Intelligence "not being accurate" truly puts all Americans at greater risk.
What do you think his tweet narrative will be when something horrible happens which otherwise might have been avoided?
That is, if he pulled his head out of his ass and listened to the truth?

(3,569 posts)Just like after 9-11, the right blamed Clinton. And got away with it too, even though Clinton was on terror and told Bush it was the biggest threat when walking out the door. Bush dismantled anti terror apparatus, ignored PDFs, and read most of My Pet Goat between inauguration day and 9-11.

(4,229 posts)#1 Not attacking Bush relentlessly for missing 9/11. In fact we probably could have avoided Iraq if we had framed him as unable to protect us from threats and interpret intelligence. We could have framed him as totally incompetent.
#2 Not attacking the GOP, trickle down and deregulation after the economic collapse. We could have relegated them to minority status for a decade or more if we had framed it right.
We need to be ready this time. Because I think it WILL happen. If Trump is not removed as a Russian spy we will have some kind of attack.
There is a saying: "Normal people base their feelings on facts. Mentally ill people base their facts on feelings" Trump and the people who surround him , as well as the GOP to a degree base their facts on feelings.
Iraq is a prime example.
The question is will our side be willing to go for the jugular when it happens?

It will take Dems willing to put principle head of politics, because tRump will try to take down anyone critical of him.
