On Monday night Trump put a bullseye on our cities. God only knows what’s coming next, but one thing we do know for sure: It will somehow be even worse.

Monday night, Donald Trump, America’s greatest threat, harrumphed upon an unsuspecting stage in Grand Island, Nebraska, and once again welcomed an attack on the United States of America.
This time, though, unlike Jan. 6, 2021, and any number of times he has publicly degraded the people of the United States, he was happy to leave the abuse of our nation to others …
During one of his unhinged celebrations of himself shoddily disguised as a campaign rally, the orange, dead-eyed psychopath wandered into the minefield of his blood-thirsty War in Iran, and said this to his morally busted supporters:
“Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay and it’s gonna be over with very soon.”
Hard as it is, you’ll want to read that again.
“Let them (Iran) take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay …”
Donald Trump’s grotesque, inept presidency should be on the fast track towards its end this morning.
Any president who can say these words, much less think them, is a monumental threat to our national security and needs to be removed immediately. He clearly has lost whatever was left of his mind, and is not capable of doing this job, or any job that involves the safety of others.
Just a decade ago his removal would have been a no-brainer, and both parties would be calling for the sicko’s head.
Essentially, the man charged with keeping America safe is once again telling its citizens how little he values them, and how much he thinks of an Iranian regime that is making him (and us) look more and more foolish each day. It’s bad enough he is trivializing war, that he is also trivializing the lives of millions of Americans is abhorrent and against the law.
If these words came out of the mouth of ANYBODY it would be sickening. That it came out of the mouth of the president is horrifying. If God forbid Joe Biden, or Barack Obama or Ronald Reagan or ANY president said something as malicious and treasonous as this, their presidency would be over.
Leaders in both parties would rush in front of every microphone they could find, hearings would be assembled, and lawmakers would set about upholding the law and safeguarding the citizens they serve from this proven maniac.
It would be 24/7 breaking news. Chyrons would scream PRESIDENT CALLS FOR IRANIAN ATTACK OF U.S. CITIES …
There would be endless editorials, and calls for the president’s immediate removal.
A meaty national discussion would ensue addressing how America had come to this, and would detail in no uncertain terms that there are lines that can never, ever be crossed in a Democracy.
Except in Trump’s America, it is just another Tuesday …
THIS is where we are right now, and we should not have to stand for it any longer, America.
When a president values himself more than the people he is supposed to serve, he needs to go. When a president wishes harm on those people he is supposed to serve, then sure as I am typing this, he is a traitor to his country and needs to be locked away for the rest of his miserable life.
There is not a single line Trump will not cross, and I curse anybody who does not know this by now, especially our damned media.
When I first heard Trump’s treasonous words late Monday night, I slept uneasily, rolled out of the rack, poured some black coffee, and went to all my likely news sources this morning to find out how this ghastly speech was being treated.
I could not find a single mention of it on the front page of The New York Times.
I then went to the Associated Press, and could not find any mention of it there.
I went to NPR, that alleged bastion of dangerous liberal ideas, and could not find a thing on their front page, either.
So a quick question:
JUST WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE????
Since 2016, I have been incredibly hard on a national media that with few exceptions has completely lost its way. Today’s inexcusable and dangerous ineptitude is the reason why.
Their normalization of Trump has been astonishing and dangerous. I have written countless columns asking in so many words what led to this?
I have arrived at all the likely places: complicitness, profit, and sheer incompetence. I suppose it no longer matters, because for the most part the mainstream media that Trump relentlessly batters has curled up into a ball of submission.
I just don’t know how else to explain it.
It breaks my heart, but mostly it angers me. I rage at them. America has not been in this much danger since the Civil War. I bet I have typed that 155 times the past decade, because it is undeniably true. Yet our media has treated this full-blown emergency like a series of cloudy days.
As we steam toward the midterms four weeks from today, Trump will become more unhinged and more dangerous, because he knows a majority of Americans are going to vote to hold him to account for the damage he has done to this country.
His free reign of terror will be over.
Until then, there is not a single thing he won’t do to prevent that. On Monday night he put a bullseye on our cities. God only knows what’s coming next, but one thing we do know for sure: It will somehow be even worse.
So just how-in-the-hell doesn’t everybody know this by now?
