Bu-But Trump Wasn't Hitler the Last Time...

[Nostra]

Keep on.... The man got impeached twce. He incited an insurrection to stay in power. So he DID do what we said and you idiots want to gve him another shot.

Why are you voting for a woman who comes from a family who owned slaves?

You said he would crash the economy, he did not. You said he would start WWIII, he did not. Your paranoid delusions didn't come true, and they won't again this time.

But he did crash the economy and we were saved from war by the very people warning us not to put his ass back in office, HIS OWN STAFF AND CABINET!

 

[Nostra]

And in each case the majority of the senators found him guilty. But they needed 66, whch is why he escaped. So don't even try it junior.

100% innocent.

Actually, the economy didn't crash, even though we had a pandemic that scared people indoors for a year or so. And he was the peace president, starting no new hostilities, something that Obama can't claim, even though he got the Nobel for doing nothing.

 

[playtime]

Silly. Last time Romney was Hitler.

mittens? willard? wishy washy, flippy floppy... perhaps.

but hitler? never heard that one.

 

[skye]

Apprently you didn't study Germany before Hitler or how or why Hitler came to power.

Hitler had huge rallies and spoke for hours just like Trump, but it is the Generals who studied war and people like Hitler who have said Trump was like Hitler. Those Generals know more about those things than either of us.

This is what we hear from trump supporters or those who claim to be neutral but happen to defend trump in every instance. Apparently they never watched the interviews from members of the trump administration who detail the things trump wanted to do but they stopped it from happening. These people won't be around next time and the supreme court has given him absolute immunity.

No One Listens to the President​

Trump keeps issuing orders, and staffers keep ignoring them because they’re illegal or unwise. It’s an unsustainable situation—but it shows no sign of abating.

It’s been another dizzying few days in Washington, starting with yet another border controversy, as President Donald Trump threatened to bus unauthorized immigrants to sanctuary cities, and ending with the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report, which turned out to be far more damning than advertised by Trump’s attorney general.

These two very different stories have more in common than meets the eye. In each case, there’s a central tension between the president and aides who refuse to execute orders from him that they believe are illegal or foolish. Mueller’s report is packed with incidents in which White House staff not only didn’t do things Trump said, but never had any intention of doing them. In the case of the border, Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff rebuffed Trump’s plan to bus migrants on legal grounds; meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan refused to turn away migrants seeking asylum, concluding that it was illegal. (Nielsen was sacked soon after, while McAleenan is now her acting replacement.)

In essence, executive-branch employees are hearing orders from Trump and responding, I don’t have to listen to you—you’re just the president. On the one hand, the constitutional system depends on the president executing the law and executive-branch employees following his directives; after all, he is the elected representative of the American people, and they are civil servants. On the other hand, so many of Trump’s orders are in fact illegal or dangerous that it’s difficult to fault staffers who don’t want to endanger the country or legally expose themselves by executing them.

Considering the incidents that are detailed, it’s no wonder. Sometimes aides didn’t want to follow orders that would require them to lie—as when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein refused to say that firing FBI Director James Comey was his idea. At other times, they resisted orders that would violate government guidelines, as when then–Attorney General Jeff Sessions refused to cancel his recusal on Russia-related matters. And in some cases, they refused to do things to protect Trump from his own worst impulses, as when then–Chief of Staff Reince Priebus told the president he’d ask Sessions to resign, but just didn’t do it.

The acme, or the nadir, of noncompliance came from former White House Counsel Don McGahn, who first refused to fire Mueller and then refused to write a letter denying that he had refused to fire Mueller. Told he might be fired, he was defiant: “McGahn dismissed the threat, saying that the optics would be terrible if the President followed through with firing him on that basis.” McGahn was right, and he wasn’t fired then.

McGahn has since left the administration, though. So have Priebus and Sessions. So, too, have Defense Secretary James Mattis, who, according to Bob Woodward’s Fear, once simply decided to ignore an order to launch airstrikes; and the economic adviser Gary Cohn, who, according to Fear, swiped a letter terminating a trade agreement off Trump’s desk to avoid his signing it. In each case, the departed staffers’ decisions seem wiser than Trump’s, and the fact that the president didn’t seem to notice their sabotage doesn’t speak well to his decision making or attention span.
