I just watched a clip from The Daily Show which gathered together a long series of negative, very negative remarks about Trump by Fox News personalities. Even allowing that some of these remarks were taken out of context, there are enough of them to make me wonder if Fox News is turning against Trump. Let us hope it is, for it has been the biggest source of Trumpian propaganda.
If Fox News is going to dump Trump, that would make it a standout among Trumpists. For the Republican senators and congressmen are still ready to do his bidding and no one at all in the vast Trump establishment dares to speak a word of criticism. Is this, as I have long thought, due to their realization that without Trump they are dead politically? Or are they, as some have suggested, afraid that Trump will vindictively turn on them as they run for re-election in their various states?
As far as their public behavior goes, however, they are acting crazy. I recall an old saw from early in my education: “If you put crazy people with sane people, it does not make the crazies sane but makes the sane crazy.” Of course, not all the Republicans in Congress were sane to begin with, but since Trump took office almost all of them seem to have become certifiably insane.
Instead of “Carthago delenda est,” I’m going to sign off with DUMP TRUMP!
