What do you think the response of Trump supporters will be when Trump starts in again with the call for physical assaults on his perceived enemies?

No matter what Trump does, his opponents do something so grievous that I forget what he was accused of.

They’re still calling him H*tler.

sure would like you to offer some justification for "rotten human being", which is strong and i'm sure ypu meant it to be as well. As non-American i have no reason to assign dirt on this person, and have the impression that he is not on the payroll of Big Pharma. Can you explain how that factor is not a very important thing?

The whole Kennedy clan is a toxic blight on the American body politic, but RFK, Jr. is particularly heinous. For instance, his crusade against "Big Pharma" has most conveniently londed his pockets through collusion with law firms pursuing lawsuits against drug companies. And now the idiot is proposing to seize the patents of drug companies, i.e. to destroy one of the most important and profitable sectors of the US economy, and also one that's important to the whole world. For instance, between 1998 and 2007, 118 out of the 252 drugs introduced were developed in America. The UK, Germany, and Japan developed about 20 each. And by a wide margin, the most innovative new drugs are developed in the US. This is the economic sector that Kennedy wishes to ruin.

Re Milley.

Disagree about "...let well enough alone."

We had the senior military officer disregard civilian control when he denigrated Trump and started making policy.

This precedent has to be answered with humiliation, reputational damage, and financial consequences (since the pardon closed off UCMJ responses).

Imagine if an E-6 had said the same about Milley.

The country needs to see that there are consequences when a 4 star challenges the president.

The same needs to be done to the unelected bureaucrats who set policy in opposition to the president.
