I've followed politics since the Johnson administration in the 60's and have never seen anything like this before. Republican and Democratic Presidents of the past have all managed to maintain a functioning chain of command, a logical communication system with leaders of other countries, an orderly flow of legislation between the White House and Congress, and respect for the rule of law. All of these things have broken down under this President. Our State department has been stripped so bare, leaders of other countries don't know who to contact regarding diplomatic issues, high ranking Russian officials being invited into the oval office and given America's most valuable intelligence information free of charge, Generals in the President's staff ignoring or slow walking the President's own national security orders in order to prevent an international crisis or another major war, our intelligence and law enforcement officials are being attacked on a daily basis by a President who is basically clueless regarding the nuts and bolts of governing, junior staff members having to crawl around on the floor to pick up and tape together documents the President has ripped up and thrown there, and a President who seems hellbent on blaming everyone from the media, the deep state, the judiciary, the liberals and almost everyone else for his problems. Add to this and administration who's former members have pled guilty to multiple felonies, and a President that is under investigation for crimes in jurisdictions of the Federal Government, the Southern District of New York, and the State of New York, not to mention the enviable civil lawsuits to follow, and followers of this President who blame everything on a liberal political party that has been out of power for over a year and a half. All of this in less than 2 years in office.
I can only imagine what the next 2 years will hold.....
There's a reason that this administratiion has a turnover rate that beats Der Weinersnitchzel. The New York Time oped from someone within this administration that described it recently. Bob Woodward's new book "Fear" describes many different episodes of officials having to hide papers from Trump out of fear that he'll sign them--diverting his attention away from certain topics etc. etc. They are the babysitters.. Trump is the ultimate National Security Threat. This book paints a picture of a man with the emotional stability of a teenage drama queen, with a 7th grade understanding of U.S. policy. We see it everyday--via his tweets and what he says. Some ignore it, others like myself recognize the astounding, unadulterated ignorance of Donald Trump.
Hear the entire NYT stunning op-ed - CNN Video
It was brought to our attention over a year ago. Remember when Trump met in the oval office with the Russians. He kicked out American media and let Russian media in. There were only 3 other Americans in that room with them They were H.R. McMaster, Natiional Security advisor, Dina Powell, Deputy National Security adviser, and Rex Tillerson, Secretary of State. So which one of these 3 leaks to the Washington Post that Trump had given the Russians classified information that had not gone through the process of being declassified?
Trump revealed highly classified information to Russian foreign minister and ambassador
Who was in Trump's meeting with the Russians? - CNNPolitics
This was no accident, it was Trump showing Vladimir Putin what he could get away with as POTUS.
U.S. intelligence had warned Isreali Intelligence months before to not give Trump any classified information, citing he was compromised by the Russians.
The source of the intel Trump shared with Russia reportedly was warned months ago not to give it to him
So as we see H.R McMaster is gone, Dina Powell is gone & Rex Tillerson is gone. Many others are gone from this administration also.. They are the LEAKERS. What Trump has yet to realise, is that these people swore an oath to this country--(not him) to protect and defend against foreign and domestic enemies. It's very clear now, that they consider Trump to be the enemy of this nation.
Senate & House Republicans, terrified of a right wing base, do not have the backbone to remove him from office. And there are 3 specific reasons to remove Trump from office.
1. Being unfit to hold this office under the 25th amendment.
2. The Emoluments clause in the constitution.
3. Colluding with Russia to interfere into an American election.
If you want Trump gone, you'll have to vote for Democrats this coming November, otherwise you'll get another 2 years of this nightmare.
