CNN says "Saturday was Donald Trump's worst day as president."

This reminds me of the time Marvin the robot was stranded for half a trillion years:

"The first ten million years were the worst," said Marvin, "and the second ten million years, they were the worst too. The third million years I didn't enjoy at all. After that I went into a bit of decline."

This is Trump's presidency in a nutshell.

1. yes. It's now tattooed on American history. Nazism in the White House and the GOP

2. Yep! He's had bad day after bad day after bad day...and on and on and on.

The question is, can the country survive this abomination of a president in the White House (not to mention his white supremacists consultants)

3. Trump's Katrina, only worse.

Seriously, how hard is it to condemn Nazis? Most ordinary people, not just politicians, could deliver a convincing and sincere statement without even having to write out their denunciation. Trump looked like he was reading a hostage statement; he clearly didn't want to say the words he said today. I'm assuming Ivanka and Jared put him up to it (it sure as hell wouldn't have been Bannon or Gorka), maybe because they thought he was making them look bad as the Jewish children of a president who wouldn't specifically denounce Nazis.

I have to think that there are at least some Trump voters for whom this was a bridge too far - older people who remember WWII, even if they didn't fight in it, and for whom the Nazis were the personification of evil.

4. The gold standard for a Trump bad day is when he starts blaming others.

That should come any day now.
