If you think things are bad now, then, brace yourself: it is about to get a whole lot worse. If you are alarmed at the speed with which the Trump administration has set about dismantling every institution of American government and every pillar of the international order, you must understand that this is not just the initial burst of activity, the “shock and awe” phase after which things will settle down: if anything, the pace will continue to accelerate.
The world has never before been faced with such a threat. The United States has handed the nuclear codes to a madman, a criminal, a would-be dictator and a moron, all in the same person. Whatever the purpose to which he directs these powers – to impress his dictator friends, to further enrich himself and his cronies, to seize absolute power or just to watch the world burn – we must hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
If you want to know what Trump will do, look at the men he most admires (Putin, Kim Jong Un, etc)
And Hitler. He keeps (or kept) a copy of
Mein Kampfhis quotes by his bed, and we all know how his neighbours ended up.It was a book of Hitler quotes.
Ah, my mistake. I should’ve known he couldn’t keep his attention on one thing long enough to read a full page of text.
Which is weird because he can’t read
Maybe someone told him it was the Bible
Maybe he just liked looking at the pictures of Hitler.
