President Donald Trump’s days in office are numbered. But he’s already stopped doing much of his job.
In the last three weeks, a bomb went off in a major city and the president said nothing about it. The coronavirus surged to horrifying new levels of illness and death in the U.S. without Trump acknowledging the awful milestones. A violent mob incited by the president’s own words chanted for Mike Pence’s lynching at the U.S. Capitol and Trump made no effort to reach out to his vice president.
Trump only belatedly ordered flags flown at half-staff to honor an officer who gave his life defending the Capitol, and couldn’t be bothered to describe the officer’s actions.
The transgressions, big and small — of norms, of leadership, of human decency — cast a pall over his final days in office, and, in the view of even close advisers speaking privately, have indelibly stained his legacy. A half-dozen current administration officials expressed dismay at the president’s action’s in recent weeks, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they are still working for Trump.
“Even after losing the election, President Trump had the opportunity to leave the White House with his head held high, celebrating achievements like the COVID-19 vaccine, progress in the Middle East, and the vibrant pre-pandemic economy fueled by tax reform,” said GOP operative Michael Steel, a onetime aide to former House Speaker John Boehner.
“Instead, he chose to wallow in delusion and grievance, and — as a result — the defining images of his presidency will be a bloody, murderous mob looting the cathedral of our democracy, the United States Capitol,” Steel said.

We MUST be armed and really start organizing JUST IN CASE.
But we also need to PRAY double time because in the end, that’s the way to victory.
A Bible and a Gun.
Sounds ironic.
but it’s not.
They are the two things needed to save this country.
Hopefully this is because he’s busy dieclassifying everything and pardoning everyone, from supporters to all non-violent offenders in federal prison
And this “republican” guy is wrong.
Trump will be AROuND so he won’t be REMEMBERED as anything.
Remembered makes it sound like he’s going away.
He’s not.
And I will still follow his orders before biden’s.
Pure propaganda. Every sentence is a lie.
Michael Steel is not a Republican. He’s a traitor to the GOP and America. He’s been spewing hatred of Donald Trump since Day One.
no way could Zeke write this on his own.
Associated Press writer Jill “gloBULL warming” Colvin contributed to this report.
Zeke and Jill should remember Trump is the most admired man in America, not to mention how highly esteemed he is in other parts of the world.
it is they - the FakeNewsMSM, the career politicians, the Deep State, etc - who are DESPISED.

We know what Steel and Boehner will be remembered for also. It is not good either.
” a bomb went off in a major city and the president said nothing about it. “
Media refuses to allow the President to speak and they cut off his social media. How do they expect the President to say anything?
He could declassify every wicked deed the deep state is responsible for in the last 75 years, but the deep state still manages the archives.
Seems like a re-telling of an old joke:
“The food at this restaurant is terrible!”
“I know! And the portions are too small!”
Trump is a dictator! And he’s not doing enough!
If they don’t like it, remind them that their high priest of idiocy Barack Obama thought it was just fine to criticize not only the President who followed him, but his predecessor as well.
Besides , it was “a mostly peaceful” bomb, so.....
Trump isn’t permitted to say anything. All his media outlets have been cut off and the media has no interest in interviewing him or hearing what he has to say, because they know what it will be. And they won’t like it.
Is this nothing more than communist propaganda?
Where is the responsible journalism that reports the context and summarizes both sides of an issue, and lets the reader decide?
The assertion that the mob was incited by the president's own words is unsupported because it is FALSE.
AP's version of events is based an a narrative that AP and other communist propagandists are pushing down our throats. I like to gather facts and make up my own mind.
Was there a time when we had responsible journalism?
Why this post from ASSociated Press??
I can go to CNN’S website for anti-Trump
propaganda
These people have gone batshit crazy not because of any violence in D.C. last week ... but because of the dismissive way those clowns invaded the Capitol and figuratively crapped all over the place.

When I don the Armor of God, I also put on a vest made of Bibles to slow the incoming shots...
Every morning, I strap on one of my weapons before leaving the confines of my abode.
Steele refers to the Capital as the “cathedral of our Democracy”
Pelosi referred to it as a “temple”
These are the same people who demand a separation of Church and state, yet recent comments indicate that they believe what they do under that dome is some sort of religious activity?!
Sick, sacrilegious, deranged
