Unless you have been unconscious since
January or you have been brainwashed by the "Make America Great Again" propaganda, you know the truth. The truth is that Donald Trump's
attacks upon others – both American leaders and allies – have to
make you question whether he is fit to be president.
It is evident the man just can't keep
his mind off of what others say about him. As evidenced by his
vicious tweets and constant need to be the spotlight of political
rallies, Trump is a textbook narcissist. His juvenile name calling
and his elementary “big and great” vocabulary are regrettable
trademarks of his presidency. In his power-hungry dealings, he never
admits snafus, and he never listens to the advice of his own party
leaders who beg him to just shut off his mouth and quit his
twittering.
Trump has some very unhealthy
obsessions. Who can deny that his penchant for so-called “hitting
back” at others who question his leadership is really just
insecurity? For instance, Trump continues his unrelenting assault on
women with his latest remarks about Mika
Brzezinski saying she is “crazy” while falsely reporting
of a time she “was bleeding badly from a face-lift.” This is the
latest in a pattern that is truly disturbing.
Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough
shared this in the Washington Post:
“From his menstruation musings about
Megyn Kelly, to his fat-shaming treatment of a former Miss Universe,
to his braggadocio claims about grabbing women’s genitalia, the
45th president is setting the poorest of standards for our children.
We were heartened to hear a number of Republican lawmakers call out
Mr. Trump for his offensive words and can only hope that the women
who are closest to him will follow their examples. It would be the
height of hypocrisy to claim the mantle of women’s empowerment
while allowing a family member to continue such abusive conduct.”

To make matters worse for President
Trump, Melania Trump, America's first lady, pledged before the
election that she would lead a campaign against cyber bullying. Given
his aggressive and hurtful media attacks against anyone who is a
threat to his gigantic ego, many consider Donald Trump the very
definition of a “cyber bully.
Not only that, but after Trump's attack
on Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, Melania continued to offer
support for her husband via her spokesperson.
“When her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder,” said spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham, per a tweet from CNN senior White House reporter Jeff Zeleny.

The editorial board of the Connecticut Law Tribune writes:
“Mr. Trump's presidency is government by kleptocracy, run by and for the personal financial benefit of Mr. Trump and his extended family, including the Kushners. The Trump administration is rife with financial conflicts of interests. Mr. Trump arguably violates the emolument clauses of the U.S. Constitution daily.
“His admiration for some of the worst human rights offenders and 'strong men' in the world is astonishing. What U.S. president would call and congratulate the increasingly dictatorial Turkish President Recept Tayyp Erodogan on his re-election? What U.S. president would invite to the White House someone like Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who brags about personally shooting drug dealers to death on the streets of Manila?”
(Editorial Board. “Donald Trump — A Clear and
Present Danger to America.” Connecticut Law Tribune. May 17,
2017.)
Oh, I know that many trust that the government has effective control of the executive branch. I am not so sure, and this is what frightens me when a man with his personality, character, and personal flaws occupies the White House. How much would it take for Trump to crack under pressure? In my opinion, his loose cannon attitude could ignite conflicts that would put us all in peril. That, in my opinion, makes Donald Trump unfit for the presidency.
A clear and present danger? The "present" is unquestionable reality ... the "clear" is becoming more evident each passing day ... the "danger" is the lack of character Trump will never attain.
