In a letter to Lafayette in April of 1788 George Washington said: "There cannot, in my judgement, be the least danger that the President will by any practicable intrigue ever be able to continue himself one moment in office, much less perpetuate himself in it; but [in modern parlance substitute 'except' for 'but'] in the last stage of corrupted morals and political depravity; and even then there is as much danger that any other species of domination would prevail. Though, when a people have become incapable of governing themselves and fit for a master, it is of little consequence from what quarter he comes".
Read this, from Rachel Madow, As elections near, Trump pushes another merchandising opportunity, and then ponder the fact that donnie is likely to win in November.
Then re-read President Washington's statement.
And then tell me what you think.
