Our #FakeHero president is an insult to our Founders

the best take down of Trump, so far.

“He has no desire and no capacity to lead the world,” said Uhlmann. “The G20 became the G19 as it ended.”

From there, Uhlmann derided Trump for abandoning the Paris Climate Accord and chided him for missing an opportunity for leadership on North Korea.

Uhlmann then cut deep warning that any hopeful signs from “scripted Trump” were illusory and pointed to the President’s Twitter account as the true place for his feelings day-to-day.

“It’s the unscripted Trump’s who’s real. A man who barks out bile in 140 characters, who wastes his precious days as president at war with the West’s institutions like the judiciary, independence government agencies and the free press.”​

 

How to Deal With a Kamikaze President

Donald Trump’s angry morning tweet storm reached another new low with attacks on his Attorney General for not investigating his former presidential opponent, and on his acting FBI Director’s integrity. This and other attacks on key law enforcement figures in his own Executive branch goes far beyond breaking norms of investigatory independence. They bring us clearly into the territory, where we may have been for a while, of a president bent on destroying the authority of the Justice Department that he worries, perhaps for reasons only he knows, may destroy him. At no time in modern history (and perhaps ever) has a President been so openly at odds, and bent on discrediting, his senior law enforcement and intelligence officials.

What can we do to fight back, to tell the President he is wrong, to stop him from attacking us? The problem is that there is nothing anyone can to do stop the President short of impeachment. Attorney General Sessions could and should speak out sharply against the President and in defense of the integrity of his Department. That would hasten Sessions’ departure and not stop the shameless President. And resignations in protest of Sessions' departure would only make matters worse, especially since there are so very few political appointees in DOJ at the moment.

he only thing for the men and women of the Justice Department to do is to keep doing their jobs well until they get fired. That is the way to serve the American people in upholding the rule of law in the face of a president bent on trying to destroy it. It is a remarkable fact that despite Trump’s relentless attacks on DOJ independence, DOJ continues to function with extraordinary independence, which every single Trump DOJ nominee has underscored before the Senate and—with the possible exception of Rosenstein’s shenanigans with the Comey firing—in practice. The President can fire Sessions and Rosenstein and McCabe if he likes, but he cannot fire everyone, and he cannot stop an investigation that now has a relentless logic that is only reinforced every time he attacks DOJ independence. In this regard, Trump’s unhinged tweets display weakness, not strength.

The crazier Trump gets with law enforcement, the more the pressure will rise on Congress to do something more about it. Congress has shown more backbone on the Russia matter than it gets credit for (witness the upcoming sanctions that limits Trump’s room for maneuver, and the robust Senate Intelligence Committee investigation). if Trump acts (as opposed to talks) to try to halt a robust Russia investigation, Congress will respond in kind. only time will tell.

The best take-down to-date by a Conservative Columnist; this is an op-ed by Peggy Noonan of the WSJ




The president’s primary problem as a leader is not that he is impetuous, brash or naive. It’s not that he is inexperienced, crude, an outsider. It is that he is weak and sniveling. It is that he undermines himself almost daily by ignoring traditional norms and forms of American masculinity.

He’s not strong and self-controlled, not cool and tough, not low-key and determined; he’s whiny, weepy and self-pitying. He throws himself, sobbing, on the body politic. He’s a drama queen.

The White House has spent the last two weeks on defense as a shake up in the West Wing communications department stirred reports
of more infighting. Trump has also criticized his own attorney general but refused to fire him, and Republicans early Friday morning
failed to advance a major Trump objective when they couldn't pass a bill to partially repeal Obamacare.

All the while, Trump has complained that he's being persecuted by an unfair media and that his former opponent, Hillary Clinton,
should be investigated for "crimes."​

Trump reminds people of their first wife. Actually his wife, Melania, is tougher than he is with her stoicism and grace, her self-discipline and desire to show the world respect by presenting herself with dignity. ... His inability — not his refusal, but his inability — to embrace the public and rhetorical role of the presidency consistently and constructively is weak."

Donald Trump’s Dominatrix​

At this point I it’s fair to say that Donald Trump has gone beyond taunting and demonizing Hillary Clinton to a realm of outright obsession.

He’s stalking her.

He can’t stop tweeting about her. Can’t stop muttering about her. On Monday while addressing tens of thousands of boy scouts at their Jamboree. he dinged her, yet again.

She’s his psychological dominatrix.
