Downhill Racer

This morning Trump tweeted out a Brietbart story on his latest federal directive -- "Trump Orders Purge of ‘Critical Race Theory‘ from Federal Agencies." He added in the tweet that "This is a sickness that cannot be allowed to continue. Please report any sightings so we can quickly extinguish!"

Just to clarify, because the cryptic phrasing of the tweet is a bit convoluted, what this new pronouncement means is, as a Vox headline explains --

"Trump eliminates federal antiracism training,"

Yes, really, you read that correctly. Trump is actually getting rid of a federal training program that worked to lessen racism.

I guess that having a news story about him demeaning the military wasn't enough for Trump this week, and that he wasn't going downhill fast enough. He decided he had to go Full Fascist in case it wasn't clear.
