James Clapper: I Question Trump's Fitness For Office, Wonder If He Is "Looking For A Way Out"

CNN contributor James Clapper, former Director of National Intelligence, said after watching President Trump's Tuesday night rally in Phoenix he questions his fitness for office. Clapper said Trump seems to be "looking for a way out" of the presidency.

"I really question his ability, his fitness to be in this office and I also am beginning to wonder about his motivation for it," Clapper said. "Maybe he is looking for a way out."

View the video. The new claim that the MSM is spreading in collusion with each other is that Trump is unfit. It's obvious that Lemon and Clapper rehearsed this interview ahead of time to get that talking point in.

They all now realize they are not getting Trump out of office on the phony Russia story so now it's on to the unfit for office hysteria.

If Clapper lies in front of Congress under oath why should one syllable that comes out his mouth be believed by anyone? That's why he's a CNN commentator.

The Left is going full crazy now. They must know the indictents are nearing.

That's not a "new claim." They've been spreading it since DJT announced his candidacy.

Perhaps James Clapper is "looking for a way out."

Megyn Kelly certainly found a way out.

This is the traitor who illegally spied on Americans, and flat ass lied to Congress about it. He lied right on TV.

He used the tools designed to keep America safe to interfere in the 2016 election.

He is a traitor and should be imprisoned.

Trump did not sound at all like he was about to throw in the towel. I think Clapper was seizing upon the president’s allusion to the great life he left to be president. That’s simply true. But he didn’t become a billionaire by buckling under to adversity.

This has just gotten sick. It is a serious problem to have such a propaganda press.

Everyone is missing the genius of Trump. The untold story is many of his base are not happy with his Afghanistan speech and policy. Remember America first? So the establishment republicans are praising him.. so what does he do? Goes back to his base with the oldies but goodies. Throws them the red meat... fake news, make America great, Neil Gorsuch. He’s crazy like a fox.

SCUM like Clapper and Brennan need to be thoroughly investigated for how they turned their intel positions into partisan hack treason on behalf of the Leftards.

I “question” how The Clap ever attained high position in the intel community, and what he did with it.

I question why Clapper isn’t in a cell at Gitmo.

I can’t remember the last time The Clap didn’t use the word Russia as a noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. It was his every other word.

Now it’s missing from his commentary. Must be a reason why. Maybe he’s mentally slipping.
