So this morning, you have all these headlines saying things like "Trump steadfastly refuses to condemn White Supremacists." I have a feeling he will. I have a feeling that he has advisors working to come up with some stronger but equally ambiguous language for a statement that will simultaneously spank the Nazis while winking to them, "Hey, I have to do this to stay in power where I can do you guys some good."
His supporters have to be getting weary of this have-it-both-ways governing. He was going to quickly institute a health care system that would give everyone better coverage for less money but he was also fully behind the Republican bills that would have done the opposite. He was even behind the one he called "mean." They're not going to leave him because they have nowhere else to go but they've got to be wondering what he stands for except the glory and bank account of Donald Trump.
Me? I don't think he ever stood for anything but that. I do have friends who back him, though with increasing discomfort. I've been telling them, "He's not on your side. He is only emotionally capable of being on his side."
So I'm waiting for Trump's faux condemnation of that which so many are insisting he condemn. And I'm waiting for Alex Jones or someone like him to start advancing the theory that no one was injured or died in Charlottesville. It was all a "false flag" operation to make Nazis look bad. And have we had the smearing yet of Heather Heyer, the young woman who was killed? We will.
Hey, at least it's getting our minds off North Korea.
