Dangerous Shambles

Donald Trump is an emotional toddler with diaper rash and nuclear weapons. If that does not scare the hell out of you nothing will! Trump's lack of intellectual curiosity and apparent inability to grasp anything more complex than what he considers to be an annoying rash of criticism touching him where it hurts has turned his Presidency into a dangerous shambles. He weaves and staggers unpredictably through what appears to him to be an almost incomprehensible maze of complex issues. In doing so he leans heavily and far too frequently on the badly worn schtick that still manages to entertain his base supporters. His apparent inability to foresee the consequences of any of this actions make it almost impossible for him to take the responsibilities of his office seriously. If you doubt this just take a look at the contradictory actions he is taking in regard to North Korea and Iran.

Here you have Trump trading middle school insults with Kim Jong Un and threatening North Korea with war because North Korea is developing nuclear weapons. The amazing thing is that Trump is actually doing this while trying to renege on an agreement that is preventing Iran from also developing nuclear weapons! And many Republicans, reflecting the moral and intellectual bankruptcy that has plagued that party for at least the last ten years, are actually praising Trump for decertifying Iran's compliance with the nuclear weapons agreement and thereby passing the fate of that agreement off to congress. Those Republicans say this is not a matter Trump abrogating his treaty making powers as President. Trump is merely recognizing congress as a coequal branch of government they say. Republicans who secretly agree with Rex Tillerson's characterization of Trump as a moron echo that thought with a wink and a nod, hoping that you and I will agree with the unstated thought that it is a good idea to let the adults in congress decide whether to violate the agreement with Iran by restoring the sanctions against Iran.

Unfortunately no one with a memory can or should trust a Republican congress with that task. How ironic it is that Senator Cotton[mouth], author of the absurd and illegal letter cautioning Ayatollah Khomeini not to negotiate with President Obama, should now be one of the senators saying that he is trying to find some solution that might serve as a salve for Trump's bad rash while leaving largely in tact the agreement that seems to irritate Trump so much. And please bear in mind that 47 Republican Senators violated the Logan Act and the separation of powers stated in the Constitution by signing that ridiculous letter.

While some Republicans, such as Senator Corker, are beginning to tell the truth about Trump's incompetence and the danger he poses to our country and the world, most Republicans are still functioning as a diaper occasionally irritating but always covering Trump's butt. Those Republicans actually applaud Trump as he acts like a jealous Egyptian Pharaoh who is trying to erase the name and all of the accomplishments of his predecessor regardless of how beneficial those accomplishments are. But be of good cheer. Do not worry about Trump destroying DACA or the Affordable Health Care Act. If he starts WWIII you won't need them!

How long will you suffer Trump and the Republican fools?
