DER SPIEGEL DISCUSSES "THE UNFORGIVABLE DISGRACE OF AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT"

_______________________________________

In "Sowing the Seeds of Hate: The Unforgivable Disgrace of an American President," Germany's Der Spiegel Online offers up this commentary about President Trump:
Trump is the first president to offer his protection to right-wing extremists, and he has lost the ability to distinguish between good and evil -- if he ever possessed it in the first place. Such a shortcoming would be horrific in any political leader, but the U.S. president is more than just another head of state. He sets an example for the entire world, particularly when it comes to fighting hate and fanaticism in his own country.
The online subtitle for the article pretty much sums it up:
There has never before been a U.S. president who trivialized the violence and racism of neo-Nazis. For many Republicans, Donald Trump has now gone too far. The populist leader has become more isolated than ever before -- in the world and inside his own party.
