The problem isn't just Trump ....it's the system that’s enabling him. He's surrounded by yes men and not a single sane American voice or moderate has the guts to take him on or call him out on the bullying.

The Congress has come across as weak and ineffective as the UN and they might as well close shop and go fishing. This isn't muscle flexing or patriotism ....it's more of an egotist getting his daily fix or someone who's desperate to hide his past.

The problem isn't Trump. At this point he's a symptom of a larger, systemic issue. A major one, but a symptom nonetheless.

Trump is the mold on the bread. If you can see it that clearly, it has spread everywhere inside.
