...if nothing is surprising anymore.
The headline revelations - if that's even the right word - in The Atlantic article is Trump praising Hitler and yelling, "It can't cost $60,000 to bury a damned Mexican." The Trump campaign has denied, on the record, that he said those things, but the Trump camp lies about everything, so the usual journalistic deference to categorical denials is gone.
What's more, his denigration of military service and sacrifice are not one-offs. He does it all the time and has done it on the record and before live mics. It is striking, however, that the article quotes John Kelly and Mark Milley, but these two men have yet to go in front of cameras and say, unequivocally, that Trump is a fascist threat to American constitutional order.
What the author makes clear in the piece is what we all know to be true about Trump - denials from his campaign notwithstanding. He does not understand on any level the concept of serving others.
Why is this election close?
