What happens to a leader who thinks he's the #1 Boss and CEO of US but in reality works for and was elected to represent all 333 million people of The United State of America?

Will more people be killed or injured before we the people wake up and take notice? Virginia governor: Charlottesville was about hatred, not a statue http://hill.cm/BF47KMz

Is there a sinister plan to destroy democracy in America as we know it? How close is this great nation to being shattered, or crumble? We must uphold the notion that all men are created equal. Fascism is not our future it cannot be; we cannot allow it to be so but this is surely the way fascism can begin: http://nyer.cm/Ss9dVaJ

Why did Trump go off the rails and burn bridges during a news conference for his supposed $1 trillion plan for infrastructure?

Folks on both sides of the aisle continue to respond after a political power grab and moral decay which included made up comments like alt-left and others that continue to mount on the part of the GOP's orange poop-on grand drag-in.

Is a so-called leader who does not allow discussion and insists on shouting down anyone who challenges him with inaccurate statements worthy of respect, or support? Have you had enough?

Tell the president that he works for and represents the entire USA, not the other way around. https://dearmrpresident.org/

Meanwhile, the president appears to be trying to distance himself from making any direct comments on the death and violence caused by neo nazi, and white supremacists this weekend.
