Today, everyone in the Republican Party – Legislators and constituents alike – behaves in ways which has defied logic and all forms of common sense. They cannot possibly be all under hypnosis, can they? Is it even possible to mass hypnotize millions?

So, what is it?

Whether you know someone, related to someone, hear of someone or watch on TV a program or a movie someone who is a mob boss, a notorious criminal you have a sense that to be a criminal is not a title one would want to be associated with. Even the most notorious criminal would argue he is no criminal. Yet, it is far from exaggeration that Donald J. Trump, the 45^th president of the United States, is a criminal and has turned the presidency into a criminal enterprise.
