Trump proven unfit for power again
WASHINGTON EXAMINER ^ | june 29 2022

Posted on 06/29/2022 2:00:27 PM PDT by Presbyterian Reporter

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s Tuesday testimony ought to ring the death knell for former President Donald Trump’s political career. Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again.

Hutchinson’s resume alone should establish her credibility. The 25-year-old had already worked at the highest levels of conservative Republican politics, including in the offices of Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (LA), before becoming a top aide for former Trump chief of staff Mark Meadows.

In short, Hutchinson was a conservative Trumpist true believer and a tremendously credible one at that. She did not overstate things, did not seem to be seeking attention, and was very precise about how and why she knew what she related and about which testimony was firsthand and which was secondhand but able to be corroborated.

What Hutchinson relayed was disturbing. She gave believable accounts of White House awareness that the planned Jan. 6 rally could turn violent. She repeated testimony that Trump not only knew that then-Vice President Mike Pence’s life had been credibly threatened that day but also that he was somewhere between uncaring and actually approving of Pence’s danger.

She also told, in detail, that Trump repeatedly insisted that he himself should join his supporters at the Capitol — even after being informed the crowd contained armed elements and that it was breaching the perimeter against an undermanned U.S. Capitol Police force.

Also distressing to hear were Hutchinson’s accounts of Trump’s repeated fits of rage, including dining table contents overturned and ketchup dishes thrown violently across the room. The worst by far, though, was that people immediately returning from being with Trump in the presidential vehicle told of the president trying to grab the wheel of the car to force it to be driven to the Capitol and then violently reaching for the neck of Secret Service agent Bobby Engel, who headed the president’s protective detail.

Hutchinson’s testimony confirmed a damning portrayal of Trump as unstable, unmoored, and absolutely heedless of his sworn duty to effectuate a peaceful transition of presidential power. Considering the entirety of her testimony, it is unsurprising that Hutchinson said she heard serious discussions of Cabinet members invoking the 25th Amendment that would have at least temporarily evicted Trump from office.

Trump is a disgrace. Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024. No one should think otherwise, much less support him, ever again.

We’ve got him this time. He’s done for. Expect him to state
he’s not running again, any day now.

Reason: 222,705,818,329.

"Trump proven unfit for power"

The American People disagree.

So does history.

Is this satire? Even the Secret Service says the whole thing is a lie.

I see no Byline on that droplet. Lucky for them after the testimony was debunked as lies.

I pray that if the Republicans take over the House after the Mid-Terms, that little liar will be charged with perjury.

No satire here. Yesterday, FOX NEWS went full anti-Trump.

Today, we need to add the WASHINGTON EXAMINER to the s—t list.

President Trump is “building back better”

What is it, 114 to 10 candidates he supported won their primary?

When the WA EXAMINER becomes WAPO, we know DCis very afraid of MAGA.

The DC Swamp is more than govt politicians and bureaucrats.

It's like Churchill said. "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."

Trump is worst most unfit person to be POTUS, except for all the others.
