A Daily Beast Op-Ed
By Rick Wilson
You may have noticed by now, but I'm not one to pull any punches on Donald Trump. As a conservative, I see him as a statist abomination, a plump, be-wattled authoritarian-wannabe man-baby with the intellectual horsepower of a toaster oven.
One
thing we've learned in the last two years is that no legal, moral or
cultural strictures bind Trump and that he is immune to the better
angels of human nature. The moral event horizon around him consumes the
good in anyone who becomes one of his vassals. There is no better
version of Trump, ever. He can only degrade and destroy everything he
touches, but today was remarkable, even for him.
Monday's simpering, prissy, self-indulgent performance in Ohio
was just another raree-show with our Kentucky Fried Nero fiddling while
the stock market burned. Then came the moment where he broke another
seal, and cracked another seam in the foundation of our Republic.
That
was when Trump, in his typical sneering, sniggling, purse-lipped way
said of the Democrats watching his State of the Union speech: “They were
like death. And un-American. Un-American. Somebody said ‘treasonous.’ I
mean, yeah, I guess, why not? Can we call that treason? Why not? I mean
they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”
