This is probably going to be a (very) unpopular post. [View all]

I've just watched about 10 minutes of Krasnov's addressed to the Knesset. I could not stomach more than that. But anyone thinking that he is going to be shuffling off this mortal coil from dementia is mistaken. This was the Trump of old: lucid (for him), concise (for him) and in clearly touch with his audience.

Here is my takeaway: it's not Stephen Miller who is perpetrating monstrous evil against the United States, it's Krasnov himself.; His cruelty knows no bounds. 'Is he dead yet' Is the most important question that has been posted on DU. Rot in hell, Donald.

EDIT: I thought this would be unpopular for suggesting that Trump's dementia is not as severe as imagined. He is the author of the cruelty, no one else.
