Reputations and President Trump

I was wrong about General Kelly. I thought that he would be a moderating influence on this President; but, when the layers of his character have been pulled back since he became Chief of Staff, what you see is an incredibly small and bigoted individual.

The Gathering Storm

THIS is how authoritarian governments emerge from 'democracies'. First, the authoritarian creates their own propaganda voice (Fox 'News' or, more correctly now, the Trump News Channel), and, now, this authoritarian 'populist' has his own political party (formerly known as the Republican Party).
