The greatest threat facing the United States is its own president
Washington Post ^ | July 4, 2017 | David Rothkopf

Posted on 07/04/2017 2:07:34 PM PDT by lowbridge

That is where we are now. The president’s tweeting hysterically at the media is just an element of this. So too is his malignant and ever-visible narcissism. The president has demonstrated himself to have zero impulse control and a tendency to damage vital international relationships with ill-considered outbursts, to trust very few of the people in his own government, and to reportedly rant and shout at staff and even at the television sets he obsessively watches.

Whether he is actually clinically ill is a matter for psychiatric professionals to consider. But when you take the above behaviors and combine them with his resistance to doing the work needed to be president, to sitting down for briefings, to reading background materials, to familiarizing himself with details enough to manage his staff, there is clearly a problem. Compound it with his deliberate reluctance to fill key positions in government and his wild flip-flopping on critical issues from relations with China to trade, and you come to a conclusion that it may be that Trump’s fitness to serve as president is our nation’s core national security issue.

Not only does the president diminish the office with his pettiness; he also shows disregard for constitutional principles including free speech, freedom of religion and separation of powers, and he operates as though he were above ethics laws. Daily he shows he lacks the character, discipline, intellect, judgment or respect for the office to be president of the United States. In normal times, this would be worrying. But look at the news. North Korea is moving closer to having the ability to deliver a nuclear weapon to the United States.

We here at FR are “banned” from posting from many sites. I wonder why we don’t “ban” posts from the Compost. Today, I look at the link first to decide what I’m going to read.

Indeed. This Trump guy might enforce the laws, respect the Constitution, and focus on services for actual US citizens. That would be awful.

The greatest threat to the United States, has turned out to be a free press that defaulted to print lies and try to turn people against their own duly elected government.

Not so.

However, the delusional, murderous, violent, dangerous, anti-Trump psychotics are a threat to the United States.
