The destruction of the United States is accelerating again. A religious fanatic who has donated millions to creationist groups, and knows nothing about education, is about to become the Secretary of Education.

And Donald Trump is preparing to bring back the financial crisis by rolling back the Dodd-Frank regulations and giving his rapacious predatory business cronies free rein to do as they will.

The president of the United States just explicitly said he is making a public policy decision so that his friends can make more money. https://t.co/CFTP3hfpwh

Meanwhile, Trump had absolutely nothing to say about the horrific attack by one of his superfans on a mosque in Quebec City, but he did have time to tweet this, about a knife attack by one person at the Louvre in Paris, in which no one was killed:

A new radical Islamic terrorist has just attacked in Louvre Museum in Paris. Tourists were locked down. France on edge again. GET SMART U.S.

The Narcissist in Chief can’t spare a single word of sympathy or solidarity for our French allies. @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/3kcRfp6CUv
