    There seems to be no end

    ...........a new book coming out by Mark Esper, former secretary of defense under Trump, reveals that the former president wanted the military to recall to active duty retired General Stan McChrystal and Admiral William H. McRaven in order to court-martial them for disloyalty to him. It also says that Trump wanted to have the U.S. military launch missiles at Mexican drug labs, quoting him as telling Esper that “[w]e could just shoot some Patriot missiles” into our neighbor and ally, Mexico, and no one would know it was the U.S. because Trump could just deny it.
    Esper pointed out that such an attack on a sovereign nation would be an act of war.

    Esper also said that Trump wanted to shoot the protesters outside the White House. Not fatally, though, so there's that. Just in the leg or the foot.

    Trump was a six year old in charge of the world's most powerful nation. I have to wonder if those that say "yeah, he was not great, but he did some good stuff" factor in just how much energy was spent trying to contain his child-like impulses.
