…And it’s not normal when a sitting Senator is forced to retire because his Arizona poll numbers were so low that he would have come out dead last in the Republican Primary, and had zero chance of winning the general election. Great job Jeff! https://t.co/5kbOQIpstq

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

President Donald Trump is the LaVar Ball of American politics: Like the brash basketball dad, Mr. Trump always talks a better game than he plays.

Candidate Trump vowed to "drain the swamp" in Washington and end abuses exemplified by President Bill Clinton's pardoning of numerous criminals his last hour in office, among them fugitive felon Marc Rich.

But instead of draining the swamp as promised, President Trump turned it into a cesspool with his appointment of unqualified cronies to the federal bureaucracy, and his pardons and commutations of disreputable individuals such as media mogul Conrad Black, financier Michael Milken, political dirty trickster Roger Stone and disgraced General Michael Flynn.

President Trump's actions substantiate George Orwell's adage that some people are more equal than others especially if they have money or friends in high places.

The Republican Governor of Georgia refuses to do signature verification, which would give us an easy win. What’s wrong with this guy? What is he hiding?

To the editor:

As the COVID-19 pandemic surges to a climax that dominates the remaining weeks of his presidency, Donald Trump’s behavior has become increasingly egregious as he perpetuates a leadership vacuum with a country that is essentially on a war footing.

The president has abandoned his responsibilities and incomprehensibly makes no public mention of the 3,000 daily deaths from the coronavirus.

President Trump might have been able to salvage his reputation by ending his term with a show of leadership and interest with regard to vaccines. If he had coupled leadership with even a belated demonstration of empathy for victims, perhaps he would be positioned to gain even a modicum of respect as he exits the White House.

Instead, Trump has been completely disconnected from the reality of an out-of-control pandemic and is consumed with the futility of overturning the election, ensuring that as Jan. 20 approaches, his scarred legacy becomes increasingly more embedded.
