Trump is unprepared

President Donald Trump is having trouble dealing with the intelligence community. This man is unable to lead his own advisers, he puts out conflicting stories on a hourly or daily basis. When someone gets close to unmasking him, “You’re fired.” Examples: James Comey and Sally Yates. He is unable to tell the truth. His credibility with anyone is on its way to zero. Something has to be done, and Congress better get it done.

He’s playing president without knowing what the job requires. He’s not building hotels and high-rises anymore. He’s supposed to be leader of the free world, and our commander in chief. For starters, he needs to get off Twitter, stop the erratic behavior and do the job he was elected to do.

We live in a dangerous time and his actions are not making American great again. If anything, we’re becoming the laughingstock of the world. I heard he has given classified information to the Russians. If true, the Russians got the best end of that deal.
