Trump Con is Working as Planned: Many Around Him Are Gone But Know Him 100%

Aptly named and recognized by millions of Americans
(And by allies and partners around the globe)

2020 Campaign Bumper Sticker
(Could be a huge money maker)

This article from The American Prospect lays out what this post intends – only they do it better I am able to do.

My input: The one single talent Trump has beyond being a slick TV showman & con-artist is his unique ability-skill to bring out the angry, nasty, ugly, and raw bigoted GOP-Conservatives – they are the ones who always come across and claim to be the only “true patriots/real Americans” but in reality that claim is as false as they are – their actions speak volumes.

As it turns out they are against everything good that most Americans stand for. Their hatred is real and raw and very dangerous – it is something we haven't seen or faces in decades at the level they generate,

Now a reminder of those around Trump who have been either fired, resigned, or otherwise forced – many for various ethical problems (e.g., ripping off the public for their own greed).

The total list is at (NY TIMES here). Partial below – may not be complete (there are 35 high-level names and positions here):
