There is, of course, a reason that so many people feel that
way about him. He does his level best to give that impression. If you get on
his wrong side, he will take revenge and try to ruin your life. Even if you are
a loyal follower of his policies and praise his every word and deed.
That has been made evident by his recent firing of two of
his most loyal Cabinet members, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and
Attorney General Pam Bondi. He saw them as liabilities.
Loyalty, shmoyalty—out they go. And let’s not even mention
Cabinet members whose conservative policies matched his own but who dared to

In short, when it comes to running the country the way he
thinks it should be run, you are either with him or ‘agin’ him. And even if
you’re with him, if public opinion shifts against you to a significant degree,
you are toast.

Is it possible for such a reprobate to have morals and
principles…
