Robert Reich Says Tide Finally Turning Against Trump: ‘I Know The Signs’
The former Clinton Cabinet secretary Robert Reich argued that Trump has — amid the Jimmy Kimmel suspension/reinstatement controversy and the president’s recently upped attacks on the press — “in one wild week revealed his utter contempt for the freedom of Americans to criticize him, to write or speak negatively about him, even to joke about him.” Read Reich’s full essay on Substack.
The “great sleeping giant of America” is “starting to roar again now” at “the sociopathic occupant of the Oval Office,” posited Reich.
“Maybe I’m being too optimistic, but I’ve seen a lot. I know the signs,” he continued. “The sleeping giant always remains asleep until some venality becomes so noxious, some action so disrespectful of the common good, some brutality so noisy, that he has no choice but to awaken.”
“And when he does, the good sense of the American people causes him to put an end to whatever it was that awakened him,” he concluded.
