Following his usual method of picking the worst possible person imaginable for any given job, and of picking of celebrity over competence, I’m wondering whether he’s fixing to nominate Arpaio.
I’ve probably mentioned it before, but I’ll remind everyone that Trump has no choice but to ally himself with the worst of the worst. The deplorables got him elected. He will only get more and more deplorable to feed them what they want. His oligarchs in the GOP will do the same, because they can’t do anything else. Oligarchy doesn’t want a united union movement. It doesn’t want a united fight for $15 movement. It doesn’t want a united green movement, or a united medicare for all movement. History shows that the way to break unity among blue collar workers and the working poor is to break them along ethnic lines. Give poor, unemployed whites a role and a purpose in society: keeping poor non-whites under control. Give them something to be better than. Meanwhile, while the bottom 50% of dinner guests fight over the remaining 10% of the Hors d’oeuvres left at the cocktail party, the oligarchs will, piece by piece, remove the rights and protections that were put in place to protect ordinary folk 100-125 years ago, because now, maybe nobody notices.
There does appear to be growing concern. The flubs are becoming more frequent. Even though the evening news ignores them for the most part, a lot of people–even FoxNews viewers—heard about the ‘father born in Germany’ and ‘oranges (for ‘origins’)’ problems.
A new edition of “The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump” came out a couple of weeks ago. At some point even Mitch McConnell will find it tough to keep ignoring this stuff.
