A Very Dangerous Man

According to a February 28 report in the LA Times, yesterday Donald Trump gave a speech at CPAC in Orlando, Florida. “Trump name-checked every lawmaker of his own party who supported the Democratic impeachment effort against him, singling them out as ‘grandstanders’ and calling for their defeats in primaries next year.

“Calling Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the No. 3 Republican in the House and one of his most outspoken critics, a ‘warmonger,’ Trump claimed with glee that her poll numbers were going down. ‘Hopefully they’ll get rid of her with the next election,’ he said.

“Referring to the group as ‘Republicans In Name Only,’ or ‘RINOs,’ Trump told supporters the more independent lawmakers will destroy the Republican Party, the American worker, and our country itself.”’

“He also savaged the Supreme Court, claiming the justices, three of whom he appointed, ‘didn’t have the courage to act’ in backing his legal election challenges that had already been dismissed by dozens of lower courts. ‘They should be ashamed of themselves for what they’ve done to our country.’”

I watched that speech and did not see anyone complain that on January 6, President Trump incited a mob to attack the Capitol and stop formal recognition of Electoral College votes that elected Joe Biden as Trump’s successor.

The audience showed enthusiasm for a campaign to re-elect Donald Trump, though it’s clear, if he loses again, Donald Trump will attempt an unconstitutional takeover of the U.S. government by force. And if he wins, he will become President for Life.

Trump is a very dangerous man and will suffer the consequences.
