No matter how massive the allegations against Donald Trump may be, the US Republicans stand almost unanimously behind the ex-president, and his critics are sorted out. This leads to a drastic expert judgement.

The “Financial Times” journalist Edward Luce also finds clear words. “Throughout my career I have covered extremism and violent ideologies around the world,” he tweeted last week. “Never have I encountered a political force more nihilistic, dangerous and despicable than today’s Republicans. Not even close.”
That alone would not be big news. But on Thursday, the tweet found a celebrity supporter. A certain Michael Hayden shared the tweet with the comment, “I agree. And I was the CIA director.”
