They will lie about anything and everything. Their most recent lie was to say that an "armada" was steaming to the sea off the coast of Korean peninsula. Even the prestigious generals lied for Trump to cover it up. They have not yet been held accountable.
They refuse to tell the people what is going on in the White House or at Mar-A-Lago? They refuse to make public the visitor logs from either place? We do not know who Trump is visiting with or why? Nixon was very secretive but this White House may be worse?
On top of it all, Trump continues to do business as usual. He refuses to make public his income tax returns, for whatever reason? We have no idea of all his foreign entanglements. We don't know who he is dealing with or if he has the best interests of America at heart?
It appears he is mostly intent on stuffing his pockets from his position in the White House?.

(37,428 posts)I expect corrupt buffoonery from a Trump Administration--they are there to loot the Treasury. My main concern is for the voters who might, if a do-over were happening right now, would still install a clown in the Oval Office. Their gullibility and bigotry are his only power.

(6,829 posts)he's gotten all he wants in life by being a selfish, greedy, unethical, bullying, amoral, lying, swindling grifter. I grew up on LI and he was on howard stern for decades, talking about all the dirty stuff howard likes.
Forty years of getting away with all the sleaze and swindling will blow up in his face. This russian treasonous traitorous collusion with the enemy by all the repub swamp dwellers will make watergate look like a much smaller worst constitutional crisis in our history.
The fall will be spectacular and nerve wracking for all the disaster capitalism and great depression misery it will inflict on the world.
If we avoid thermonuclear armageddon it will be a win for us all. There's gonna be schadenfreude parties all over the place once the repub convictions get rolling! Russians controlling the USA by proven KGB tactics is one big fucking elephant in the room.
