We have become so accustomed to President Trump’s incompetence that it’s easy to miss a crucial change: In his fourth year in office, Trump is learning to bend government to his corrupt purposes.

The incompetence was and remains uppermost, most lethally in the president’s surrender to the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. mortality rate, while not the world’s highest, is some 84 times greater than South Korea’s.

But in less visible corners, Trump is coming to understand how to use the bureaucracy to his ends. We might welcome such a learning curve in most presidents, because most presidents want government to serve the public good, as they see it.

Trump’s primary motivations are spite, self-aggrandizement and greed. The checks on his abuse are rapidly degrading. The lesson he learned from impeachment is that he can get away with anything — and across the government he is acting accordingly.

1. He is alarmingly good because the repukes won't do a thing to stop him

Every once in a while, you hear something about "You can't do that", or "That is a bad idea". But if they wanted to, They could not go along with him.

2. Trump getting his MARCHING ORDERS from pal, Vladimir.....

Doing what his Boss is telling him to do.

Reporters and News anchors need to start using the term...RUSSIAN AGENT. Make it viral.
