3) Mark Sumner, a staff writer with progressive media and activism hub, Daily Kos, assesses the multiple disasters facing the U.S. as a result of Donald Trump's total failure in his role as president - and the mounting concern that these last few months before the November presidential election could be the most dangerous in the four years of the Trump regime.
