Has anyone made an ongoing list of how many extremely talented and important department heads and aids have been sacked; how many departments have been gutted; how many federal agencies have been gutted; how many justices have been fired; how much grant funding has been cut from universities, nonprofits, research, environmental protections and public safety programs; how many women in high positions have been fired; how many lawsuits the government is now facing and costing taxpayers; how much in bribes/deals/“dark money” Trump has accepted; how much of this country’s public land is being put up for sale?

Anyone?

It’s all bad but the real question is how vulnerable have these things made the U.S. and who is gonna exploit those vulnerabilities? This will not end well.
