A President who gleefully relishes unrest cannot carry the votes of people who care more about peace than justice... and sadly, that is not a small group.

His authoritarian impulses are going to make that worse.
We have a president who is a danger to the country. The only minor solace is that he is cooking himself like a frog in a pot.
