We now have a convicted felon, racist, failing businessman, liar, and I could go on. He has also brought into the White House the most disreputable, misinformed, and dangerous people.

He and the people he has chosen for his cabinet and various administrative positions will so damage U.S. political, social, and economic institutions that this country will never look the same. And don’t even think about his approach to foreign policy.

Ukraine will be consumed; Poland may be next, and NATO will be either weakened or flat-out disappear. And then there are Asia, Africa and Central and South America. Think I am exaggerating? Or maybe I am the canary in the mine.
