So until they gather the gumption to hold hearings on Trump's mob connections (see Craig Unger's House of Trump House of Putin, and David Cay Johnston's It's Even Worse than You Think) this latest Great Dictator is just another immune El Jefe strong man, prancing on the grave of American democracy. As he conjures up the inevitable imperial war on Iran, Venezuela, China -- you name it -- the Weimar Democrats will cave, just as they always do.
In the meantime, Donald Trump rolls along as the ultimate composite of all we've done to the rest of the world. He's not an accident, an aberration, or an outlier. He comes from the core of our multi-century global assault on all things social democratic.
Until we get on top of that, and rid ourselves of the "exceptional" arrogance that tells us we can impose such hell on so many innocent people, the cancer that is Donald Trump will continue to grow ever more lethal, with each escalating imperial day.
