One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. America has done just that by accepting the destructive and erratic behavior of President Trump over and over again and expecting things would get better.
"Just give him a chance," we heard, to bring his most talented people to Washington to add their skills to his, a stable genius, and make deals to get the best health care ever, fairer trade with China, a nuclear-free Korea, a solution to the West Bank dilema, a border wall paid by Mexico, new U.S. infrastructure, tax reform, a balanced budget, and a drained swamp, among other promises. America waited. The so-called "smartest" advisors and cabinet appointees came and left or were fired or indicted at a rate never seen before. Many barely had time to learn their job, much less solve problems.
When criticism or failures were reported, it was all attributed to "fake news." When the president was impeached for trying to bully foreign governments to create a cloud of investigation over rival Joe Biden, some Americans said "don't remove him from office — he will surely have learned his lesson." He did not, firing civil servants and inspector generals he considered to be working against him.
