I think that trump* is determined to do as much damage as possible, while he still can

[Siwsan]

He has no interest in doing anything positive. He just seems hell bent on upending any progress this country has made. And his path of destruction seems to be widening and accelerating, which makes me wonder if he knows his time to do this damage is limited.

What ever the case, I am fast losing all hope, for this country. If we don't get rid of him soon, the damage may become irreparable.

1. Totally agree - and it will take decades to recover

provided our country could work together - but of course we won't.
Trump has unleashed the monsters of hate and racism and misogyny which may never be tamed again.

8. He is the human variant of necrotizing fasciitis, so I'll now call him a Necrotizing Fascist.

2. Damage on the way out the door

Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Pennsylvania...

4. He did this to appease his base and pump up his approval ratings with them

5. America "might" survive, but it will not be the same. He makes a mockery of freedom and equality.

And has a disdain for this country. He doesn't give a damn about the US. It's just an object to him. I think his intent is to totally trash the country.

6. And undoing anything Obama accomplished.

7. Yep. A Politico contributing editor put it very colorfully:

11. I hate Trump.

All 6 members of my immediate family voted for Hillary. Some of us voted for Bernie in the primary and some for Hillary.

We are in rural western PA. In our county, 2/3 of the people who actually voted, voted Republican. I know one person who now claims that she never supported Trump -- but she didn't vote. The people I know who love Trump, love him still. To be fair, there was a tv show called Mermaids: The Body Found, a fake-documentary on the Discovery Chanel. Some of these Trump lover acquaintances of mine actually believe that show was factual!

Trump is on a mission to destroy the country. I have to be careful discussing him (and the Republicans in Congress) with my family. It upsets our dog ... he gets scared ... I guess my voice has undertones of high stress or anger and I am trying to fake it by speaking gently. He starts whining and tucks his little terrier tail under, and I have to call him to me and comfort him and tell him everything is okay.

My dog is a Soft-Coated Wheaten Terrier and the breed is very emotionally sensitive. And I think he can read my mind. All I have to do is think about grooming him and he zooms upstairs to hide from me. Not a coincidence -- he does this Every Time. And since I have to comb him through every other day, I have lots of opportunity to see this response. A few years ago, he took the bottle of ear cleaner and one of my dog combs and buried them. I found them months later -- hidden by a dog who obviously doesn't like being tended to. (Once I capture him, he behaves perfectly, though.)

I hope Mueller's investigation results in a strong rope of impeccable evidence that encircles the necks of Trump and every cruel and heartless member of Congress who supports his so-called agenda.

12. That's why Putin picked him

Do as much damage, preferably irreversible, to the United States as possible.
