Trump Needs To Go


Never has it been more clear that President Donald Trump is in the wrong line of work.

In just the past couple weeks of his brief, tumultuous, autocratic-tinged presidency, Trump has displayed a mystifying knack for making bad situations so much worse.

Trump's utter inability to keep his powder dry in addressing the North Korea nuclear threat unnecessarily placed the United States in it's greatest peril perhaps since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

And the President's failure to reject the hate monger David Duke's professed allegiance to the President -- in the aftermath of Charlottesville's deadly riot -- inexcusably fans the flames of bigotry.

Of course, that's what demagogues do. And nobody's better at it than Trump.

The problem with truly knowing where Donald Trump stands or weighing seriously anything he utters, is that he's Donald Trump.

After nearly seven insidious months of Trump's blatant lies, flip flopping, phony posturing and loads of divisive inciting rhetoric, the President has lost all credibility.

The Narcissist-in-Chief can load up on all the bluster and feigned sincerity he wants, but he's still got no credibility. Zilch.

But while Trump's words almost always ring hollow, they are essentially garunteed to enflame.

And that's what makes him so dangerous.

So right now, the looming questions remain and beg for answers -- before this twisted mess of a presidency ends very badly for the people.

When will Congress step up and put an end to this nightmare?

If there ever was a president who qualifies for Impeachment due to dereliction of duty, it's the former Reality TV star.

When will Republicans snap out of it, forget about absurd political party loyalties and take a stand for their country?
