Trump unfit to lead
Donald Trump is a sick man. He praised himself repeatedly for doing a great job in Puerto Rico, while San Juan’s mayor was pleading for clean water and food. Then he blamed the Puerto Ricans themselves for their desperate condition. Did he understand that they are U.S. citizens? Or was he put off by their darker skins?
Trump is an ignorant, lying, bigoted, dangerously erratic amateur whose ego must be fed at all costs. Puerto Ricans are paying with their lives this time — more than 50 known deaths.
Who will it be next time? Trump is flippant about nuclear weapons: “Why do we have them if we can’t use them?” And about war with North Korea. He has tweeted that Secretary Tillerson should not waste time “trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,” adding ” Save your energy Rex, we’ll do what has to be done!”
Questions for Idaho Sens. James Risch and Mike Crapo: Do you love our country enough to acknowledge that Donald Trump is unfit to lead it? Or will you and your fellow Republicans remain silent while the president tweet-taunts North Korea’s “Little Rocket Man” into God-knows-what?
