Laurence Tribe: Trump a 'cowardly sadist' destroying federal workers' lives, performing for his base

Trump is a ‘cowardly sadist’ who is destroying federal workers’ lives while performing for his base

“There’s obviously no real immigration emergency on the border, but Trump might try to use the unending shutdown itself as the ’emergency’ and pretend that his only way to stop it is to steal disaster money for his wall,” Tribe tweeted Saturday. “His base might buy that inverted logic but courts won’t.”

“Trump loves fighting, forcing people into submission,” he noted.

“So he pulls emergency trigger, gets sued,” Tribe predicted. “If judge says no wall while case continues, Trump says he’ll veto bill to open government without a green light to begin digging. He blames court and Congress for ongoing shutdown.”

“One thing for sure: The mounting human toll of this longest-ever shutdown counts for zero in Trump’s balance sheet,” he wrote.

“Holding his base, humiliating his ‘enemies,’ being on offense, are all that matter to this cowardly sadist,” he added.

“Since there’s no way Democrats can embrace Trump’s Wall without covering themselves in the stink of his racism and xenophobia, it’s going to be up to Trump to find a way out of this."

People have died screaming deaths of horror and pain on battle fields all around the globe to secure our Democracy and everything it stands for. He's not worth even one limb left overseas. he needs to be enjoined from further destruction. The needs of the many...outweigh the needs of the 1%...or the one.
