Trump seems washed up.. dismiss him at your peril

I was left flabbergasted when White House press secretary Sean Spicer dramatically paused for ten seconds after I’d asked if Trump was a loose cannon.

He should’ve dismissed it out-of-hand in the same way if Trump had asked if he looked too fat in his emperor’s new clothes.

It was very telling how Spicer mulled my question over for so long.

But I’d bet even his worst nightmare case scenario wasn’t even a patch on what unfolded this week.

No matter how they try to dress it up, their emperor’s clown suit is now tainted with the real blood of his supporters following Wednesday’s horror show.

Trump’s legacy was already shot to pieces before his supporters stormed the Capitol.

But now the lasting impression of the outgoing US President’s reign will be the shocking image of Ashli Babbitt dying in a pool of her blood.

The 35-year-old woman would still be alive if she hadn’t been brainwashed by Trump’s lies about the Oval Office rug being pulled out from under him.

The only smoking guns in this election were discharged against American citizens themselves – and all as a result of Trump’s sleights of hand and lies. It is nothing short of a small miracle there were only four fatalities.
