... and specious reasoning may sound fine at first blush, but it's still just smearing lipstick on a pig.
This toady, Scott, is trying to legitimize Trump's contention that he is the lord and master of all he surveys, and all the peons must bend the knee to his capricious and self-serving whims, no matter how malicious and destructive they may be.
Guess again, asshole.
This is the warm-up act for justifying dictatorial authoritarianism and the establishment of open-ended martial law, so that Trump can wreak havoc with zero accountability. This cannot be allowed to happen under ANY circumstances. It is Putin's checkmate move in his psychotic determination to destroy America from within, because he knows he would lose a shooting war with the U.S. His troll farms have been very busy, and very effective in muddying the waters, and misleading, with their relentless propaganda, the low-wattage intellects that are Trump's "base".
Remember that every accusation is a confession. Trump sorta gave the game away when he spoke of "the enemy within." The enemy within is that treasonous sonofabitch himself, and everyone who enabled and supported him. But it's also time to start paying much closer attention to the Machiavellian machinations of the greedy oligarchs that have undercut the TRUE will of the people for their own financial benefit, not to mention their malevolent and insatiable craving for dominion over the lives of others, most often referred to by its euphemism, POWER.
This ain't over.
