Entire article is laced with facts, figures, rational arguments, and good common sense... no Trumper will get anywhere near it!

Trump's brain is filled with. worms, or with some other squirming things.

It is not filled with thoughts, knowledge, or emotions beyond resentment and anger.

He won't be saved. Time to get really serious about that America first thing and get rid of him.

Or, your rank paranoia is stinking up the place.

IOW, nothing new.

From the article: He is not just joking. He is not just trolling.

He is not owning the libs. He is not simply toying with the mainstream media.

He is not playing 3-D chess.

He is not a master of the art of the deal. He is not a business genius. He is not a political savant.

He is not a peacemaker. He does not believe in "America first" or even know what it means. And he has no intention of making America "great again."

No matter who you are, no matter how close you are to him, he does not represent you or even care about your interests.

No. He's none of the good or great things the slavering fluffers in his Cabinet or on his White House staff make him out to be. And none of the defenses his enablers on Capitol Hill and in the press and across the country have used in the past work any longer.

Yes, and the evidence for his insanity multiplies daily.

It is indeed a mystery.

We live in a culture that can decide to shoot a boy in a hoodie dead for shop-lifing, and make that decision in an instant.

But millions of us cannot decide about Donald Trump.

Or, worse yet, have decided that his madness is somehow divine.
