I get the feeling if he didn't win the election, these revelations wouldn't enter anybody's mind. Anybody else get that feeling?

But he did and what he took on is the highest job on in the world.
Here's what Chris Hedges ( an American journalist, Princeton Professor and author of many political books) has to say.
"Trump is the face of our collective idiocy. He is what lies behind the mask of our professed civility and rationality. He is a sputtering narcissistic, blood thirsty megalomaniac. His face in the past was hidden at least to most white Americans but with the destruction of democratic institutions and the disempowerment of the citizen, the oligarch’s and the Kleptocrats become brazen. They no longer need to pretend, they steal and lie openly; they wheel armies and fleets against the wretched of the earth; blithely ignore the looming catastrophe caused by global warming and cannibalize its nation. While at night, like some monster from the Grand Giaour, the idiot-in-chief, sits slacked jawed in front of a television set before opening his beautiful twitter account.
Forget the noise. The crisis we face is not in body. Public images of the politicians that run are just dysfunctional government. The crisis we face is the result of a four decade long, slow motion corporate coup d'état that has left corporations and the war machine omnipotent; turned our electoral system into legalized bribery and elevated public figures who master the arts of entertainment in artifice. Trump is just a symptom, he is not the disease."
I just love the way this guy writes!
