The Trump presidency is best defined by the expression, “it doesn’t matter!”

The truth doesn’t matter, telling lies doesn’t matter, the constitution doesn’t matter, the rule of law doesn’t matter, being a demagogue doesn’t matter, destroying the environment doesn’t matter, discriminating against African-Americans doesn’t matter, being a xenophobe doesn’t matter, being a sexist doesn’t matter, seeking foreign interference in our elections doesn’t matter, freedom of the press doesn’t matter, praising authoritarian dictators doesn’t matter, separation of powers doesn’t matter, science doesn’t matter, promoting corporate polluters doesn’t matter, targeting immigrants doesn’t matter, tax cuts that benefit the wealthy doesn’t matter, reading briefings doesn’t matter, discriminating against Latinos doesn’t matter, incarcerating children doesn’t matter, promoting white nationalism doesn’t matter, targeting Muslims doesn’t matter, separating families doesn’t matter, calling Nazis very fine people doesn’t matter, being a racist doesn’t matter, dirty water doesn’t matter, defending gay rights doesn’t matter, denying climate change doesn’t matter, profiting off the job doesn’t matter, pollution doesn’t matter, helping the Saudis cover up a murder doesn’t matter, discriminating against transgender persons doesn’t matter, giving press briefings doesn’t matter, promoting Russian propaganda doesn’t matter, devaluing wildlife doesn’t matter, inciting crowds to violence doesn’t matter.

To this narcissist and fraud of a president . . . nothing matters; except what he wants.
