Solving the Problem of Trump

 THE PROBLEM is simple, the solution less so.The emergence of Donald Trump and his cult movement, and its subversion of the Republican party, an already inherently corrupt organization. Any supposedly patriotic organization in which a majority of the members denies the existence of the greatest threat to American national security climate change, is corrupt, period. Add trump to the already toxic mix, and a few million lost souls looking for a savior, a messiah,and what emerges is a massive incoherent mob of fanatical zealots, inflamed with psychotic fervor for a twisted, pathological ideology. The ideology is white supremacy and racism, xenophobia, and social and economic Darwinism, buttressed by a cruel, dogmatic religiosity, Christian fundamentalism. Republicans are apparently belatedly beginning to realize that the successful future of their party depends upon severing its connection with Trump. He came in as an outsider, and he must leave an outsider. Trump,s sudden surge in populist popularity four years ago forced the party to reluctantly attach itself to his movement; hence, his takeover of the party. Trump's following was always a minority and still is, its Achilles heal. Trump's fantasy that he won the election, his brazen attempt to steal it, sealed his fate and will soon complete the destruction of his cult and will precipitate massive reform within the Republican party. Trump's supporters, in moments of questionable lucidity, like to claim that the very moment he took office, Democrats began trying to impeach him.  there is a certain truth to this, because Trump's criminality and unfitness for office were recognized early and often. Although his supporters and he himself dismissed the Mueller report as nothing but a conspiracy to destroy him, the fact that the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Homeland Security, as well as all of the other sixteen intelligence gathering agencies within the government affirmed that the Russians gave assistance to Trump, massive assistance in the form of money spend on advertising, misinformation, and websites,  are convincing proof that indeed, Trump became president only with the help of foreign interference.The Mueller report confirmed this, but was misrepresented by Attorney General bill Barr, misleading the American people about its actual contents. Trump, proved Mueller, knew full well during the 2016 campaign that he was getting help from Russia, but instead of trying to stop it and reporting it, accepted it willingly. That alone makes Trump a criminal and a traitor, and justifies spending four long years trying to remove him from office.If only it had succeeded.
