Look, I'm no supporter of Trump, in fact I've said a few times (here and elsewhere), that it looks like he may be headed for impeachment, and that I'll be celebrating with the rest if that happens.

But I'm keen on keeping a level head. There have been many exaggerations and premature comparisons to Hitler, as well as (in another thread), Trump being labeled a 'rapist'. Since no proof that he's a rapist has come to light, that's awfully close to defamation, though the charge might not be false (though I suspect it is).

Anyway, I'll delete that link.
