Trump’s “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough!” is a call for assassination. From Bond to Apocalypse Now to the cyber-assassin in The Terminator, to terminate means to murder. Message as clear to his corps as “will be wild.”

What gold-standard law graduate will now choose one of the lily-livered firms who caved to Trump? Skadden et al will only attract Category 2s unto the next Gen.

Co-President Trusk. A guy who drapes his 4-year-old boy over his shoulders like a Loro Piana shawl. Who loves blowing things up. Who bullies… anyone he can. Calling him “schmuck” may be too close to his dumb dick joke territory, so let’s just say “pathetic.”

Now that Trump has made himself chairman of the
#kennedycenter, how long before his acolytes insist they change its name to that of another president?

Trump = Nixon? Nah. RMN was flailing to save his own ass and his presidency. Trump is dumber but genius at media manipulation. He delights his base by beating up on elites and people without power. He’s a perpetual wrath machine made for the billionaires who - like him - want Whiteworld.
