Trump never had any, not a singular concept of shame, decency or equality. Never.
Before politics, New Yorkers knew exactly who Trump was,
a liar,
a con-artist,
a swindler
a filthy predator
and all around scumbag.
Today, the entire planet knows it
Except MAGA cult idolatrist.

⭐️ Excellent thought thread:
“In the decade since [Trump] became the singular influence on American politics, he has completely and thoroughly dispensed with concepts of shame, of decency, of equality.”

Donald Trump called for Jason Crow, a veteran and Congressman, to be put on trial and executed for reminding our troops to refuse illegal orders.
It’s dangerous. It’s unhinged. And it’s beneath the office of the president.

Taking down Trump isn’t even political anymore, it’s about taking down a transnational criminal organization operating at the highest echelons of US government and putting our international security at extreme risk.
