Amanpour & Company: 'If Donald Trump Wins: Inviting The Dark Ages Across The Planet'

Source:Amanpour & Company- talking to The Atlantic Magazine editor Jeffrey Goldberg.

"Jeffrey Goldberg is Editor-in-Chief of The Atlantic. He recently launched a special edition of the magazine, warning of the grave and extreme consequences if Trump were to become president again. He tells the show why a second term would be even more dangerous than the first."

"Like many reporters, I’ve been operating in Casaubon mode for much of the past eight years, searching for the key to Donald Trump’s mythologies. No single explanation of Trump is fully satisfactory, although Atlantic staff writer Adam Serwer came closest when he observed that the cruelty is the point. Another person who helped me unscramble the mystery of Trump was his son-in-law Jared Kushner. Early in the Trump presidency, I had lunch with Kushner in his White House office. We were meant to be discussing Middle East peace (more on that another time), but I was particularly curious to hear Kushner talk about his father-in-law’s behavior. I was not inured then—and am not inured even now—to the many rococo manifestations of Trump’s defective character. One of the first moments of real shock for me came in the summer of 2015, when Trump, then an implausible candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, said of Senator John McCain, “He’s not a war hero … I like people who weren’t captured, okay?”

Just to be completely honest and accurate: (not that I'm ever not completely honest and accurate) we don't know what a 2nd Donald Trump presidency would look like. And besides that, he would have to get reelected first. And he might have to do that as a bankrupt and convicted felon, whose currently confined in prison, waiting on his sentence, after being remanded by Judge Tanya Chutkan. You can look at the polls all you want, but Donald Tump has a long, uphill, road to climb, before he even gets reelected again. 

Having said all of that, I don't want to wait and find out what a 2nd Donald Trump presidency could look like. I don't think America can afford to take chance on him, because of what Jeffrey Goldberg and others have said. Which is why the U.S. Government, as well as American voters who love not just love America, but want to preserve and defend our liberal democracy, rule of law, and checks and balances, need to legally do whatever we can, to prevent Donald Trump from getting anywhere near The White House ever again.
