Trump Toady: Kellyanne Conway (2017)
Whereas President Bush offered America the illusion of morality clarity, President Trump offers an ever-shifting phantasmagoria of sense impressions and unreliable information, barely held together by a fog of anxiety and bewilderment. Think Kafka more than Lord of the Rings.
--Ned Resikoff

Trump Toady: Sean Spicer (2017)
We didn’t use chemical weapons in World War II. You know, you had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn’t even sink to using chemical weapons.
--Sean Spicer
Broken Treaty Remix (2012)
Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other, then we will have no more wars. We shall all be alike--brothers of one father and one another, with one sky above us and one country around us, and one government for all.
--Chief Joseph
Trump Transition Team 20 Remix (2016)
Former Vice President Joe Biden said “Don’t tell me what you value. Show me your budget and I will tell you what you value.”
...Donald Trump’s budget tells us plenty about what he values—but it tells us even more about what he doesn’t value.
Trump values military hardware. He values a border wall. He doesn’t value people’s lives—feeding people or keeping them warm, doing medical research to prevent and heal diseases, job training or college preparation for disadvantaged youth. He doesn’t value the environment, or parks, or the arts. Trump’s America, the America he is trying to build with this budget, is ignorant, unskilled, sick, hungry, cruel, and violent. It’s bleak and barren and devoid of joy.
--Laura Clawson
Trump Transition Team 20 (2016)
If you were trying to create in a lab a person with character traits more unbecoming in a president, it would be hard to outdo the one we have.
--Charles M. Blow, "Trump and the Parasitic Presidency," New York Times
Trump Transition Team 18 (2016)
I think whatever ideological coloration we think actually applies to Trump, we can be pretty confident that he sees the American state as a mechanism to make sure that people called Trump are rich forever.
--Timothy Snyder
Trump Transition Team 16 (2016)
If fascism ever comes to the United States, it’ll be because the people voted it in.
--Irving Wallace, The R Document
