I’m a bit slow to pick up the beat on this, so I’ll acknowledge that right up front.
It’s been clear for a quite a while that Donald John Trump Sr. is a Republican In Name Only. Yep, he’s a RINO. He owns the pejorative term that true-blue Republicans hang on imposters, those who pose as members of the GOP.
The most glaring piece of recent evidence comes from the dozen or so Republican U.S. senators who are lining up behind Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who’s embroiled in a dispute with the president.
Trump blames McConnell for every legislative failure that’s come along. He has chastised at various times the speaker of the House, Paul Ryan (another Republican), Sen. John McCain (he’s an R, too), and the attorney general of the United States, Jeff Sessions (a former Republican U.S. senator).
Oh, sure, he’s gone after Democrats as well.
The president, though, is playing exclusively to the 35 percent or so of Americans — his political “base” — who continue to stand by their man. They adore the president not because he’s a Republican, but because he, um, “tells it like it is.”
Hmm. It just occurs to me: They love Trump for the very same reasons millions of other Americans — including yours truly — detest him.
The man has no ideological grounding. He doesn’t have a core set of principles. He has no understanding of government, nor any interest in learning about it.
Trump ran for president as a “populist,” a friend of the Little Guy. Yet he jets off to his decadent resort properties in Florida and New Jersey where, I’m quite sure, he spends zero time talking up close with rank-and-file middle Americans who are the only political allies left on whom the president can count.
The president’s appeal has nothing to do with party, or ideology, or governing principle. The president is a RINO. Pure and simple.

More proof that journalism is dead.
How can Americans sleep at night while the USA is collapsing?

Has Trump arrested the bankers, decreased taxes, kicked out the illegal aliens, ended the Fed, ended the wars, ended welfare, ended Obamacare, and restored the Bill of Rights?
Trump doesn’t work for you. He works for the elites.
The time for supporting Trump has ended and the time for buying gold, guns, and food has arrived.
Wake up. Think. Spread the word. Dark times are coming.
