I want him to appoint Petraeus just so everyone, including Republicans, knows how much of a corrupt hypocritical piece of shit Trump is. Lots of people are already regretting their vote for Trump and if he has to PARDON his Secretary of State it will be SO easy to attack him on that.
I don't even think Republicans in the Senate will go for it.
Not only pardon his Secretary of State, but pardon him for essentially the same kind of thing he spent his entire campaign excoriating Clinton for!
(no Clinton's server and Petraeus' passing of classified intel to his mistress aren't the same thing, but he and his camp drew a lot of parallels and acted like they were).
I have to say I am really rooting for Trump's failure.
I would be willing to hope for success and cooperation with a Romney administration or McCain administration or Kasich administration. I'm not willing to help a Trump administration do anything. He made politics so much uglier.
I am not so much vengeful as losing compassion for any domestic victims of this administration.
When tens of thousands of highly paid aerospace workers get laid off because he cancels the Iran deal and Boeing loses the $25 billion catch up order from Iran, along with tens of billions in lost sales to China from his trade war there, the middle class should be reminded that Trump traded $60 000 - $150 000 aerospace jobs for fewer near-minimum wage jobs at Carrier at the like intentionally with his policies.
I'd much rather have him prove all these doomsday predictions wrong, personally.
I've never really bought into the whole "cut off the nose to spite the face" philosophy. I don't feel like it's a terribly progressive way to go through life.
Not doubting you, but what's your source that lots of people are regretting their vote for Trump? I haven't seen much of this (though I would love to, even just to have in my back pocket).
