Once again, the Thom Hartmann gift for seeing the big picture and presenting it clearly and precisely.
In this article, he cites damn near EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN SAYING (and then some) about Trump and his accomplices (for a decade now), and puts it into a neatly wrapped box... with a frekin BOW on top.
In all its horrible quintessence.
