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.

Is Trump obsessively managing the schedule for the tennis courts on the White House grounds yet?

“We can’t post obcenities either, but I think it’s good to read and react to these filthy $@##&* $$$%%& #@@@&*!! Lying Leftists.”

That is completely absurd!

What is good about it?

That’s like saying we should all watch beastiality porn and snuff films, just so we keep abreast of what is going on in the world.

I feel sad in a way for these losers. They don’t know up from down. But my sympathy is tempered by seeing that they may never want to.

Oh quit melting on us. The smoke of the (voluntary!) tormentees of hell rises forever in the sight of the blessed spirits. How could you even tolerate being in heaven?

So Trump was a Kremlin stooge, then he was like Hitler, now he’s like Chauncey Gardiner.

I leave it up to people to decide who is really in need of mental help.

And I betcha' this Trump guy is so mean he takes two scoops of ice cream and everyone else gets only one scoop.

'How can he govern and lead the free world when he is so...well....so...oh hell, we just don't like the guy. And besides that our gal lost. He's gotta' go.'

So much to do about nothing other than their dislike of his personality.

They are ginning up the “Trump is mentally ill” meme.

How did this impulsive, deranged, screaming loon ever make billions of dollars building skyscrapers?

“Oh don’t melt on us, buddy. We can take a glow or two from the red hot kitchen that Donald has entered on our behalf.”

I can take the heat in the kitchen just fine, “buddy”. Trump has entered it for the right reason - to destroy it - and I’ll gladly follow for that same reason.

These idiot posts are promoting anti-Trump garbage just for sport.

Don’t act like you’re wallowing in this sewer as part of Trump’s fight.

Or, if you really believe you’re doing it on Trump’s behalf, then explain to me how promoting Trump-hate and using FR to give a voice to slander in any way helps Trump’s cause or our cause.

I see my son living in the fantasy world of video games. I compare it these Lefties who also live in a fantasy world. I call it living in the fantasy world of the Unicorn Farm. These people have no other interest than their obsessions cultivated by those who strive for political power. This greed for power uses the power of the media to indoctrinate the masses for their selfish ends. Their message of hate is like political manure that feeds a natural emotion until it is a habit. The media is the opium of the people to keep them compliant while they are moving America forward to an Oligarchy where a small group controls slaves of the state. This collective social model that opposes our Constitutional heritage is the way of the Marxist.

Trump has more heart than Big Ears and the Bushsie’s and Bill and Johnson. Carter’’s heart was there, but misplaced.

Oh, you are running away from the characteristics of the fight between God and Satan?

Perhaps you are lost and need to run for the everlasting arms (yep they exist in 2017 on earth) at once!!

Well so go believe in God like you really mean it.

I believe Trump is God-inspired. We have here an echo of Elijah taunting the prophets of Baal into publicly cutting themselves. Far from whining about it we should praise the Lord and get ready to see the soggy sacrifice burn in holy fire soon.
