Trump administration’s vision was to “Make America Great Again (MAGA)”. How? Draining the Swamp, Building a Wall…Locking Her Up—-oh, those are not real policies? Those are just racist, elitist, fascist-propoganda chants. There are many problems with Trump’s MAGA vision, the first being that America was already great, the second is hate based agenda will NEVER make anything great and the third is you would be hard pressed to find a reasonable person who finds anything great about Trump at this point.
For those who saw Trump as he was long ago, none of this is a surprise. The surprise is how long it is taking for everyone else to see this man has severe character flaws that make him ineligible and incompetent to serve in the role of President of the US. If someone shows you they are morally bankrupt, not to be trusted, a liar, a misogynist, a racist, a xenophobe, a poor business man, etc—at some point you have to believe them.
Trump’s latest scandal is the Russia/Comey/Russia debacle. Trump and his administration are under FBI investigation for Russian collusion and Russian interference in the US election process. We know Russia hacked our election process and worked to help get Trump elected but we don’t know what role Trump or any of his cronies played in the process; hence, the FBI investigation.
So last week Trump fired FBI director James Comey. He had his press team publicly state that Comey was fired for his handling of the hacked email issue and that the firing was based on the recommendation of Deputy Attorney General, Rod Rosenstein, who is rumored to have threatened to quit over the whole debacle—-but he did not and is still working there, now he is helping his boss, Dirty Jeff Sessions, find Comey’s replacement. Does it bother them that Sessions was forced to recuse himself from all investigations into TrumpRussia because he himself LIED UNDER OATH during his confirmation hearing? or that Trump originally stated it was Rosenstein’s and Sessions’ recommendation that Comey be fired and Sessions was not supposed to be involved in the TrumpRussia scandal——OR is the bigger $hit Show the fact that Trump came out days later in an interview with Lester Holt and claimed that he knew all along he was going to fire Comey–basically proving his staff to be liars—-or that they are lead by an incompetent buffoon.
Last night the Washington Post broke a story that Trump discussed highly sensitive intel regarding ISIS during his impromptu meeting with Lavrov and Kslyak. Yes, the same meeting that took place the day after Comey’s firing, the same meeting that it was reported the US press was banned from attending, the same meeting that a photo leaked from the Russian team….the stench of all of this is overwhelming.
Trump’s response to the Washington Post’s article about Trump leaking highly classified intel to the Russians….well here is his tweet (yup, we are still talking about his tweets) from this morning:
“President Donald J. Trump said early Tuesday that he had an “absolute right” to share with top Russian officials information about an Islamic State threat during a White House meeting last week. (3)”
The President can declassify intel but at what point does national security become an issue–NOW—the time is NOW. Our President is illegitimate and incompetent. He is working to remove all checks and balances. When will Republicans rise up for their Country and put their Country over their party?
