Today is all because there was never an ideology or unifying purpose to Trump or his campaign. It's always been about personal fulfillment and enrichment, rampant opportunism. 1/
There are pockets of individuals who believe things involved, like Bannon with his white supremacy and Trump in his gospel of wealth, but it's never been a cause. 2/
In my conversations with Trump campaign members, everyone got onboard for purely selfish purposes. It was about career advancement or future possibilities. It was never a belief in Trump or Trumpism. 3/
Everyone wanted to get ahead elsewhere and use the Trump campaign as a stepping stone. The win threw them into the White House, where they couldn't possibly come together because there was nothing for them to come together over. 4/
This was never about making America better, it was about personal enrichment and personal success. Everyone was in business for themselves, whereas nearly all administrations are about helping the country, even if they're wrong in the how. 5/
And it's like this because that's who Trump is, and administration take on the personality of their leaders. He's never settled in ideology beyond survival and enrichment, there's no room for philosophy besides constantly changing and surviving. 6/
It's like building a house on a foundation of sand. It's never going to settle, it's never going to strengthen, it's only going to fall apart the longer it sits there. 7/
Campaign staffers told me their biggest fear was that Trump might win. They looked at it like a money scheme that would fall apart if they didn't get out in enough time. They didn't get out, and now look at what's happening. 8/
Elements of the campaign sought help with Russia, others with fascists, others with white supremacists, some of them with all of the above. Now, it's collapsing in totality with frightening speed. 9/
The big question now isn't whether this thing is falling apart, but what's going to happen when it does. We have a president who is unraveling by the day. His threats of nuclear war shouldn't be taken lightly. 10/
Stories leaking from the White House have consistently painted a picture of an unhealthy man who is falling apart. When this stress continues to build, and he continues to paint himself in the corner, we have to ask what could happen. 11/
As Mueller continues to investigate, and people flee this sinking ship, what happens when the captain is still onboard but he's holding the entirety of the US nuclear stockpile? 12/
Republicans need to get this thing over with and they need to do it in a hurry. We're watching a car crash. Save those you still can. 13/13
