we could've picked just about anyone off the street and that person would've been more conscientious than trump. that person would've at least revered the office. that person would've made themselves a better person, understanding the vast power of the office.

It chills me each day that even after the Capitol Hill breach, the Republican party is still unwilling to break ties with this all-about-himself ex-President. There is a sense that this chapter of history is not over yet. The lessons to learn are not yet addressed.

As criminal & horrific as I thought it was, being able to peek behind the White House curtains revealed it was much worse than I thought.

Like a heroin addict, he has become addicted to being relevant. I remember that he's nice Mary talked about this and she forewarned us months before the election that if he lost, He would not Take it well and that he would not accept the results! Further, she informed that it would get exponentially worse... And here we are!

Rucker: "...it just speaks to trump's determination..."
That was his desperation, not determination.

The Capitol was being attacked and the mad ORANGE king was gleefully watching HIS insurrection on TV. OMG how EVIL.

Excellent interview...The story of disgraceful and despicable Don the Con. It says as much about Don the Con, as it says about the despicable characters supporting him.

I’m reading this book and it is fabulous! These two did their homework!!

[pamlewis]

Thank you for your hard work on this. It confirmed what I thought was happening at the time.

There are giant "Don't Blame Me, I Voted for Trump" signs plastered on neighbor vacation houses on my street in July in 2021. Last year they flew F**k Your Feelings Trump flags. I am buying both Stable Genius and I Alone, and when I'm done reading them I will discreetly mail them to these neighbors. It's the best way I can think of to exercise my passive aggressive pledge to fight division when we are indivisible.

“A lack of intellectual curiosity”….that’s putting it mildly😆

[cor-zm]

Honestly… I thought thenGOP chose him for popularity reason not for political knowledge and others would run the country for him. Boy was I wrong! 4 years of anxiety and I am not even American! Sad.

The man was an evil prophet of himself. He was all he said he'd end in his inaugural address. I'm almost tempted to call him that thing I think he is. The backlash would be brutal. Let's just say there's a very special place for him somewhere.

[derrytaylor]

He says he wants to run again in 2024. What's he going to do if he loses again, blow up the world ?

[darkmankind]

Why is every insult -45 throws out, he describes himself to a "T?"

[chellefell]

half of this wouldnt have been possible if there were term limits in Congress.

[liviadix]

A large minority of Americans elected him. What does it say about us?

[DSherman]

I pre-ordered the book, I Alone Can Fix It, yesterday. This is a discussion of what Trump showed of himself to his closest aides and members of his administration. In the end, only the neediest men remained loyal to Trump. It seems to me that Trump only feels a certain zest for his life when he has captured one’s entire attention and speaks of his grievances, as completely truthful, and with great passion and excitement. He appears to be a sick twist.

Got both books 📚. Their titles are smart and revealing. After I finish my current project these are two of the books that are a must read. They are two of the best reporters that I trust. There lies Integrity!🍷📚📚

I think the problem is that voters who only watch Fox News, never actually hear what really happened. I think these stories need to get more widespread publicity on social media.
