Carl Bernstein on CNN (screengrab)
On CNN Monday, legendary Watergate reported Carl Bernstein broke down how outgoing President Donald Trump's final week in office differs from the end of Richard Nixon's presidency.
"Carl, [Nixon and Trump] are both leaving in shame and anonymity," said anchor John Berman. "What is the comparison?"
"No comparison," said Bernstein. "Richard Nixon isn't a madman. These pictures that you have shown this morning, we have been looking at the landscape of Trumpism. A map of his mind and what the logical result of his mindset and sensibilities are. Who is Donald Trump? We now know he is a seditious, uncontrolled, out-of-control madman. That's what we have seen. We haven't seen anything in the history of the United States presidency such as we witnessed in these final days. The final days of Donald trump are something that is so out of total comparison to anything in the history of this democracy."
"He is an autocrat," said Bernstein. "He has no command of his own faculties at this point, according to those closest to him, who are surrounding him. They're trying to put him in a constitutional straitjacket in these last days because of his total inability to govern as the president of the United States with sanity, with sensibility. And also he is a criminal president. Nixon was a criminal president. He is a constitutional criminal and we are seeing every evidence of it as he leaves office. Let's hope the next few days as he leaves that nothing terrible, more terrible than what we have seen occurs."
Watch below:
And now the end is near, and Trump faces the final curtain, my friends, I'll say it clear , he's been an asshole, and that is certain.........
He is a horrible person to the core, the personification of every negative human trait, and genuinely one of the worst people to ever live.
Exactly. There simply is no denying that Trump actively tried to steal this election; actively used his power and influence as PotUS using lies and unethical practices to defraud the people of this nation.
Yet the sycophants continue to defend this lying, cheating sack of shit con man who now leaves office a defeated clown.
And sparked an insurrection against the government.
Even though we will finally be rid of *president* Trump on the 20th, I'm very afraid that we will not be rid of citizen Trump or rabid Trumpism anytime soon.
Yeah, I expect them to be standing by and doubling down on their support of Trump. They will wear any and all criticism as a badge of honor. They will insist that Trump is the greatest PotUS ever and will continue to chant "stop the steal" and "Trump 2024" while the rational world points and shakes its collective head in disgust (and pity).
Unfortunately, you might be correct.
The delusion never stops, does it?
A little over 48 hours to go.
The Daily Mail has a countdown, and they aren't even in the US
.
I wonder how Trump supporters would feel if they were a person wrongfully accused of rape when the man knowing they were innocent incited rioters to come down the court house to hang them before the evidence clearing them could be presented. And the reason the liar incited the mob to attack his opponent was obviously for him to remain in a position of power.
All the evidence proves the accused innocent, yet a loud mouthed liar who doesn't take part in the lynching would definitely be guilty of inciting the mob and should obviously be held responsible for the murder of the innocent accused.
Democrats and rational Republicans were falsely accused of stealing an election and a liar incited a mob to go take action, telling them no one else would if they didn't and that rules don't apply to them. Obviously the liar who incited the mob to violence should be held accountable even if they didn't take part in the violence themselves. Those trying to defend the liar are only doing so because they have been bamboozled, they were gullible enough to believe the liar and are unwilling to admit their gullibility and culpability because it's embarrassing and makes them look like the weak sniveling schmucks they are.
