In the long sweep of history, no President will be more reviled and hated than @realDonaldTrump. He will be seen as a criminal perversion of the office, a low, vile, and reprehensible traitor to our ideals and the Republic. His family members will change their names or flee to live abroad. He will become a watchword for malice and incompetence, and he will be loathed by a hundred generations of American. His party will mutate and die. His enablers will deny their roles in his rise, his supporters will be shunned, his donors will be despised. His name will be a curse. His legacy will be a cautionary tale of destruction and hate. It’s over, and the sooner the actuarial tables catch up, the better for the world. His grave will reek of ammonia. His hideous legacy deserves nothing more.

The Republicans are about to shut the government down because Donald Trump wants them to.
