    “I feel terrible for the American people because it’s not the American people, and it’s not even elected officials, it’s one person,”

    Like hell. Congress is the one thing with the power to end this madness. The Republicans in control of both houses are absolutely responsible as they are doing literally nothing to rein in Trump’s madness.

      The vast majority of people either voted for Trump or didn’t vote at all. Americans chose this madness either through action or inaction. They should feel accountable for the forthcoming consequences. Democracy in action.

      Agreed. It’s 80% of the elected officials at this point. It’s unfortunate that foreign puppets are in power.

        The person you responded to just said that Trump is not the only problem, and pointed to the power of other elected members of the party. So when you say “you are so very wrong”, that seems to suggest that Trump is the only problem (since that was the main point being made); and your follow-up about the will of voters reads as a non sequitur.

          Thanks. I responded at night, in a car barrelling down a highway. Prob should just figure out how to delete it.
