That Trump is a pedophile and a rapist is pretty easy to understand. He's always been a skeevy sexual creep.

But the White House being demolished? I'm still reeling. I can't imagine even Dick Cheney, who was evil personified, proposing that, or even imagining it.

We were scandalized when a thin-skinned George W. Bush offered a sotto voce remark: "Who cares what you think?" to a concerned citizen. Now Trump spews the most juvenile, petty, mean-spirited filth every single day, and it isn't a scandal; it's just Tuesday.
