Second week in a row he is bringing out the Real America. If he keeps up at this rate, he will have to go down in history as the greatest president of all time!
If he agreed today to resign on the condition that he get space on Mt. Rushmore, I'd contribute my share to have the work done. (Be sure to hire a sculptor who can capture the wrinkled lip, frown and sneer of cold command.) I'll also travel to Washington to hold up a poster "Thank You, Donald J Trump, the greatest president and leader who ever lived, You were just too good to be President" (or whatever phrase Sean Hannity suggests) as he boards the helicopter to Mar-A-Lago. We could serenade him with a song, perhaps beginning with the martial clang "Ding Dong."
If, as the leaks suggest, Bannon is deliberately inviting protests in hopes of fomenting some kind of race war, he must have a definition of "race" that makes the third reich look utterly polyglot. (I also have to say I feel sorry for Mike Godwin at this point.)
