With Trump, every day is 'Groundhog Day.' A nightmare over and over again. | Opinion

 

As Americans gather to celebrate Groundhog Day – the varmint-y-est of all holidays – those of us who haven’t been MAGA-brainwashed could not care less about six more weeks of winter. We’re stuck in the nightmare of four more years of Donald Trump.

It’s like living the time loop Bill Murray made famous in his 1993 movie “Groundhog Day – we wake each morning as if we’re living the previous day over again, checking to see what madness the new president has unleashed or what horrific nonsense he spouted overnight on social media.

Will we rise to learn he has used a national tragedy to demean people with disabilities, as he did this past week by trying to blame the tragic Washington, D.C., plane collision on diversity, equity and inclusion? 


Will we wake and see he launched an attack on Greenland? Or, as he announced Friday, imposed tariffs on allies like Canada and Mexico?

What nuttiness awaits us, courtesy of a complicit Republican Party that paved the way for this unfolding fiasco?
