Analysis: A storm gathers around Donald Trump, and two Constitutional crises could follow

WASHINGTON – A storm is gathering.

The voices raising alarms about President Donald Trump’s temperament, steadiness and attitude toward the competing power centers of a democracy aren’t new; they date to his days as Candidate Trump. But the new authors of those arguments are making those concerns louder and more credible.

The consequences ahead – the speed and direction of the storm – aren’t set, at least not yet. But the stakes are already pretty clear, and they could include Trump’s presidency.

Consider just the past week.

Last Saturday, two former presidents, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican George W. Bush, spoke at Arizona Sen. John McCain’s memorial service with words that were hard to interpret as anything but castigation for the current occupant of the White House, though Trump’s name was never mentioned. The Washington establishment, past and present, was listening in the pews of the National Cathedral.

McCain, who was perhaps Trump’s most persistent critic within the GOP, “could not abide bigots and swaggering despots,” Bush declared.

Then Obama spoke.

“So much of our politics, our public life, our public discourse, can seem small and mean and petty, trafficking in bombast and insult, in phony controversies and manufactured outrage,” he said. “It is politics that pretends to be brave, but in fact is born of fear.”

Susan Page is the Washington Bureau Chief for USA Today. The bullschit opinion piece is designed to reinforce all of the recent fake news and made up BS. This reads like a desperate plea, "BELIEVE OUR BS, PLEASE!"

I wonder how much Fusion/Soros is paying her to write this drivel?

I have to agree. This article is pure BS and wishful speculation by the author.

Per Obama-—”“It is politics that pretends to be brave, but in fact is born of fear.””

What the HELL does that even mean????

The only storm I’m seeing is the one where Mainstream Media types are panicking over their inability to ruin Trump. The ruin they wish on Trump will be their own ruin for the world to see.

McCain was a hot head with an uncontrollable temper and anyone in Washington with 2 brain cells know it.

The drumbeat never stops from the Crazy Left. They imagine things that are not there to keep up their delusional fantasy about the real world.

Susan Page is a real left wing Never Trumper. I don’t know why Fox Special Report has her on the panel some nights.

You beat me to it. ALWAYS consider the source. Susan Page has been a liberal sell-out forever and the Gannet chain of newspapers is aligned with the radical Left. Garbage!

Branding political undesirables as mentally unstable (and therefore whatever controls imposed on them are thusly validated) is a time-honored tactics of communist and other tyrannical regimes.

No wonder schools don't want to teach history any more.

Meanwhile, the Donald keeps chugging along with news today of Mattis and Pompeo pulling another coup on selling military tech to India.

Dear Susan Page:

A storm is gathering, but not of your liking.

By October 31, the President Donald Trump is going to nueter, shall I say, deball the Deep State.

Look at all your favorite people now, because they may be going to jail.

Thanks for your input Susan.

I can’t believe these f**ing Mainstream Propaganda lemmings think that the American people are too stupid to see what they are doing, obediently regurgitating in lock-step each week’s official Soros-approved “end of Donald Trump” talking point.

His election wan’t legitmate. He’s a Russian Spy. He paid off a porn star. 25th Amendment! He’s mentally unstable! He paid off a mentally unstable Russian porn star. etc etc etc

Oh dear, I guess it’s really the end for Donald Trump this time!

The fakestream media working in concert with ‘our’ corrupt stasi state have been trying to nullify the 2016 election. Nullify our votes...they’ve done a pretty good job, too. The only crisis I can see is the lack of lamp posts in D.C.

This is like the 1980’s...

Reagan was a war monger and going to blow up the world...

He was just a dumb actor..
