The Trump Presidency Is Over
The Atlantic ^ | 3/13/20 | Peter Wehner

Posted on 03/13/2020 2:01:13 PM PDT by justme4now

It has taken a good deal longer than it should have, but Americans have now seen the con man behind the curtain.

When, in January 2016, I wrote that despite being a lifelong Republican who worked in the previous three GOP administrations, I would never vote for Donald Trump, even though his administration would align much more with my policy views than a Hillary Clinton presidency would, a lot of my Republican friends were befuddled. How could I not vote for a person who checked far more of my policy boxes than his opponent?

What I explained then, and what I have said many times since, is that Trump is fundamentally unfit—intellectually, morally, temperamentally, and psychologically—for office.

It took until the second half of Trump’s first term, but the crisis has arrived in the form of the coronavirus pandemic, and it’s hard to name a president who has been as overwhelmed by a crisis as the coronavirus has overwhelmed Donald Trump.

Yeah.

The walls are closing in.

They really have them now.

I can’t roll my eyes at them anymore, but it demonstrates to me that we will not be able to co-exist with these people.

If they are so emotionally fragile that the existence of a Trump Presidency causes them to wish their entire lives and those of other Americans be reduced to rubble and misery...it confirms for me that there will be a time when this is going to come to a head.

I hope I am gone by then.

Not sure why anybody would take this seriously.

The liberals are all already on board with hating Orange Man.

The Americans know these slanders are only more spittle spewing rants.

Mr. Wehner; when Trump is re-elected in a landslide, I will want you to chew and swallow dogturds as the only means of rescuing what little credibility you may have ever had. You may choose German Shepherd dogturds or Yorkie dogturds or Beagleturds. But nothing else will do.

Under Obama up to 17,000 people died from H1N1 including 1,800 children. Suck it up MSM!

Welcome to FR. The Atlantic hates Trump. Why post a piece of biased bs.

Israel ready. The Iranians will be the first ones wanting this.....I’d certainly make some pretty demanding terms for them to get it. Like access to every nook and cranny in their country for inspection.

If I am still alive, I will vote for Trump on election day 2020. If I am dead, I will probably vote Democrat.

They are consistently pro-liberal and anti-conservative. I see the magazine on the shalf in the library now and then. I doubt they have ever had anything positive about Trump since he became a politician.

It was the Serv-Pro impeachment. Like it never even happened.

given that draconian AND common sense measures are being taken at every level nationwide, that Federal resources are being marshaled and disseminated, that regulations are being hacked away and everything that can is being accelerated in an emergency fashion, and that in general our people, our organizations, our institutions and our corporations are pulling together as a whole like nothing we’ve seen since WWII, I suspect that this whole deal will be over within at least three months, maybe sooner, and that President Trump will come out of this even stronger than before, and that it will be even more apparent than before that the Democrats and their allies, the fake stream enemedia, are true enemies of our nation ...

I don’t want to give a completely unhinged never-Trumper like this guy my email address, otherwise my invective and my cruel laughter would have singed the very innards of his tablet.

“In a month if the infection numbers hold low he will be venerated.”

indeed ... especially for those who might picture mentally failing Joe Biden as President in this situation instead of Donald Trump ...
