A Total A …

And he’s filled to the brim with false piety.

That just because he’s prez,
It doesn’t mean he has “total authority.”
Biden Doesn’t Grok Trump
“Trying to figure out this man is sort of above my pay grade. I mean, I don’t get it. It seems to always be about him. Everything is about him or his political fortunes. Like this idea of making sure we delay getting the checks out till his name could be on them. For God’s sake, people are scared to death. They’re struggling just to keep their head not above water but just every once in a while above water.”

Dean Finds Trump’s Disposition More Troubling than His Ignorance
“Even Nixon would be offended by this effort to use foreign assistance for a very personal, political reason, which is a very corrupting undertaking,” Dean said. “I don’t think Trump has any morals or shame. He will do anything to get re-elected before… It’s just the way Trump thinks. He doesn’t care. He will destroy anybody. I find him a deeply troubling character. When he first went in, I worried that his ignorance would get us in trouble. Now it’s his disposition that I find most troubling of all.”
— Former Nixon White House counsel John Dean, quoted by the New Yorker.
