Aerial picture of United States on fire.  Voice says,

Will Bunch, who is a fairly reasonable sort, has had enough. Here’s a bit of today’s column:

In an astounding report, the Washington Post said the president’s children Don Jr., Eric and Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are increasingly worried about their dad’s imperiled presidency — not for the good of the country but because it’s soiling their hotel and golf-course brand. The paper said the Fab Four’s main issue is they want to “resuscitate the presidency and preserve the family’s name at a time when they are trying to expand the Trump Organization’s portfolio of hotels.” It said that means prepping for a 2020 campaign that would avoid the toxic nationalism and xenophobia of 2016 or, as a GOP consultant told the Post, “they’d only be able to build in Oklahoma City or the Ozarks.”

This is what’s so alarming — that Trump might blow Kim Jung-un and a few million North Koreans to smithereens just to boost his hotel occupancy rates in Vegas. Apparently, the push to save the Trump Organization for democracy is behind the recent changes at the White House; Steve Bannon and his comic-book white supremacists and pretend Nazis are on the outs, and the retired generals and the boys (and girls) from Goldman Sachs are taking charge. In other words, the “serious people” who gave us the Iraq War and the 2008 fiscal collapse. That’s the upgrade. Heaven help us.

Afterthought:

I can’t shake the thought that Donald Trump reminds of nothing so much as a five-year old boy playing “Bang! Bang! You’re Dead!”
