Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - The Guardian: With Trump we've reached the 'mad emperor' stage, and it's terrifying to behold

Sir Cornelius, thanks for your insight.

I just laughed when the Mueller investigation of Trump took off because I knew it would go nowhere. Why?

One, the investigator is a Republican. Two, he like Trump is also probably (can't get the former FBI director's profile!) a descendant of German (or Austrian, etc?) immigrants. I believe Mueller, 74, who headed the investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 American election, would have lived in fear all his life from white (especially German) extremist threats, given that the president's shady immigrant grandfather probably also had mob ties.

It's been argued by some that Special Counsel Mueller's report gave Trump one major victory of his presidency by concluding that there were no hard/material facts of a collusion with Moscow.

Let's be honest: Is Trump making America great again?



Worst case scenario: Individually  the Republicans, the governors, senators,
house of Reps etc want to save their own skin finally, but things are
deteriorating  so rapidly – along with
the morale in the country and the image of the country to the outside world,
that  the Republicans begin to understand
and agree with Mitt
Romney ( it finally begins to dawn on them) that Trump has become a
liability.



Their inner committee meets behind closed doors and decides
to stand up to the bully by removing him – as a collective responsibility - to posterity
– maybe replace him with Mike Pence who is intelligent, low-key, likeable. (I like
him – in fact, I like him more than Joe Biden or Kamala Harris)



As a matter of fact, I was thinking of Mitt Romney today
when this item, popped into my mailbox.



Absolute worst scenario: Trump is assassinated (by somebody)
before the American elections, resulting in an all-out new civil war between
the good Americans and Hitler's children supported by the ones you label as his
"pro-Nazi supremacists".  The nations of
the world will choose sides…



Inevitably,  if this Facebook
thread gets any longer we will soon arrive at some apocalyptic/eschatological
conclusions about the
antichrist, especially with the ominous prospect of ( God forbid) a second term Donald Trump
