Save America, impeach Trump

Part of the definition of narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others.

With his executive order on banning refugees and the ensuing chaos it caused, “incompetent egomaniac” also describes him. Standing with Trump was Mike Pence, who a year ago stated a ban on Muslims would be “offensive and unconstitutional,” and Defense Secretary Mattis, who six months ago said the mere suggestion of a ban caused “great damage to world order.” He was certainly right six months ago but apparently lacks the will to do the right thing.

Wonder how much worse it can get. The past few days should tell you it has only begun. Along with the flawed immigration ban, he signed another executive order allowing Steve Bannon, champion of white nationalism, a seat on the National Security Council. He restricted the director of national intelligence and the chairman of Joint Chiefs attendance on the council. What next? The Grand Wizard of the KKK given a seat.

Gov. Inslee said it best, “These people couldn’t run a two-car funeral.” Save America. Impeach Trump.
