    I really don’t understand why anybody is demanding anything of him, as if he was some normal candidate who is running for president. He’s not.

    He is a traitor who is running to stay out of prison, and because he personally appointed a bunch of them to their stations, the agents of the US “Justice System” are allowing this. Demanding Trump provide medical records, as if he were just some normal, legitimate candidate, is in a sense normalizing him. He’s not a normal candidate. He’s a symptom of the rot at the core of our democracy. We should be treating him as such.

      That rot is ‘people being allowed to vote for a platform of explicit hatred and totalitarianism’. That platform is popular enough to get many popular votes, and take the EC because the EC is shit. You can’t throw that away without dismissing the ‘concerns’ (i.e. ‘I want to hate Mexicans!’) of a substantial chunk of voters. I’m not sure that’s easy.
