When we look back at Trump's brief failed Presidency

This will be the moment that finally forced the GOP's hand to begin his removal from office. You can't double down on support of people carrying torches, waving Nazi flags, and chanting "Jews Will Now Replace us" outside of a synagogue, and just expect everyone to forget about it during the next news cycle. This isn't a reality TV game show.

Trump made a serious miscalculation on August 12th and kept doubling down on it. Most Americans did not feel we need picking a side between his Nazis and those who resisted them, most of us thought it was understood that you just do not support Nazis, but Trump kept trying to forced the issue, in fact he tried to paint a picture of anyone who opposed his Nazis as a radical leftist who is against the police and is interfering with the freedom of speech, well as we saw yesterday, Americans did pick a side, we picked those resisting Trump's Nazis at a ratio of 40,000 to 133.

Now even his daughter is tweeting support for those resisting Trump, and he can't find any surrogates to defend him
