Laurence Tribe: What Trump just said "puts him at war with the US."





Trump’s overt trashing of America’s intelligence agencies and US law enforcement, taking Putin’s side on the world stage in Helsinki over an act of cyberwar that Trump all but invited Putin to continue, wrapped in renewed claims of an electoral win, puts him at war with the US.

The media discontinuing coverage of his "rallies" and press conferences. Unless it is something that is actually useful for us to know, stop him from self promotion and behavior that is dangerous to American lives. Enough is enough. The media built him up by covering his every word, now all they have to do is stop.

For many, it will be like going through withdrawal because he is so outrageous it is like watching a train wreck (which is what he has always done with the media and his love/hate relationship with them), and the major networks will see a drop in their income i'm sure, but for the good of our country we really have to stop this - and that means to stop giving it airtime and feeding his base. We should not let him stand there and destroy our country and brainwash the followers of his T-cult.

The time is now - who will step up and be the leader?

The traitor has been committing treason for years, and that placement is void. The senate and house need to be raided like a cockfight on Saturday night, and the co-conspirators arrested.

Trump gets:

"President for life," to be followed by another family member "for life" of his choosing;
An all-white America;
Trump's control of all the Americas.

Putin gets:

"President for life," etc.
Complete control of Russia and Europe.

Then,

Together, they overcome the rest of Asia, even China, and then divide up control: The U.S. gets Japan, Russia takes the rest.

There will remain essentially only two countries.

Then Putin pulls the rug out from under Trump . . .

They don't know or care what he's doing, and that's the big problem! Many Americans in the "fly over" states are veterans, they have American flags in their yards, they go to church on Sunday. They think they're loyal patriots.

These "patriots" watch Fox News and nothing else, so they have no clue what Cheeto is really doing.
