If I had a nickel for every time I’ve said that the Reich on the Left, Robert Reich, is virtually always right, we could all retire.  Therefore it will probably come as a shock to you to learn that I think the Reich on the Left is wrong, when he says that Trump can be effectively removed by isolating him.  While I agree that he could be removed, up to a point, I don’t think there would be anything effective about it.<\/font><\/p>\n

With Republicans controlling both houses of Congress, it\u2019s unlikely Trump will be impeached or thrown out of office on grounds of mental impairment. At least any time soon.    <\/p>\n

Yet there\u2019s another way Trump can be effectively removed. He can be made irrelevant.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s already starting to happen. The howling manchild who occupies the Oval Office is being cut off and contained…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From <Robert Reich<\/a>><\/font><\/p>\n

First, click through and read the rest of Robert’s article.<\/font><\/p>\n

The first problem is one that Robert brought up himself.  He could still start a nuclear war.  I<\/font>f the media were to stop reporting on Trump’s tweets, as Robert suggests, that would deprive Trump of the attention he craves.  He would become so desperate for attention that he would do whatever it takes to get some, and a fully isolated Trump would start a nuclear war to do it.<\/font><\/p>\n

There is another problem.  When it comes to all the evil Trump wants to do, he is not the real problem.  The only difference between Trump and the rest of the Republican Party is that he is blatant about it, while they are sneaky about it.   His racist rants are no different than their dog whistles.  Suppressing Black and Latino voters was just as racist, before Trump was even a candidate, as his support for Alt-Right Nazis was last Tuesday.  If Republicans isolate Trump they can falsely claim they have dealt with the problem.  Millions of sheeple will see that on Faux Noise<\/em>, say BA-A-A-A, and go back to sleep.  At least with Trump front and center, he keeps outrage high among far more Americans.<\/font><\/p>\n
