Joan, do you know what lockstep is? You should review how the GOP has behaved. They follow dogma MUCH more rigerously than do those in the Democratic Party, where dissension is tolerated to higher degree.
As for destroying the Constitution, he is following a very clear path, one that dictators have followed in destroying other democratic governments. First discredit the press. Which is exactly what the Trump administration is doing.
His insistence that he is not to blame for his misstatements and missteps, but others who are enemies of the state, or in his words "of the American people" are also clear warning signs of ill intent.
You only get a brief hiatus when you start a job. When you continually screw up in the first 30 days, you don't get any slack. A businessman should understand that. It's common practice in the business world.
It indicates that the spoiled little boy pretending to be the POTUS has never been held accountable for his incompetence, which is exactly what he has been displaying these past weeks.
George W. Bush's administration quickly came to grips with the job and had very few avoidable screw ups like the Trump administration. As much as I disagreed with Bush Policies, for the most part they displayed a much higher degree of competence and ability.
Fuck ups like Trump who think their money washes over their incompetence are likely to be disappointed in public office, because people question the actions of the government, and that is the final balance in a democratic government.
