But then, Trump has never had an original thought. He is a puppet - Putin’s puppet, and now Miller’s puppet. Just keep shoveling him money and he will do anything. I think there is a name for that.

What puzzles me is the silence of the GOP legislature. I know they are invertebrates, but do they really think this is good for their brand? I piece of me wonders if they too are counting the days till trump is no more. Maybe they know something we don’t.
