When we look at what's happened since the inauguration. I think we can all say that Donald Trump is clearly in over his head. Take a look at the string of failures that he's had from day one when it came to planes falling out of the sky. What was the reasoning he gave? He said his DEI without any sort of evidence
he job done and be up to the [:When we look at foreign policy, this is somebody who claimed that he would end whatever's happening in Gaza within day one. He's somebody that said that he would end the Russia, Ukraine War within 24 hours. And what have we seen? We've seen him meltdown and throw a temper tantrum in the Oval Office, which effectively isolated the US from all of their allies and.
Embolden Russia to ramp up their attacks into Ukraine and likely also embolden China to make moves on Taiwan in the near future.
This is an absolute failure and he's been chasing for some sort of win ever since. He said that he was going to negotiate her truce. It hasn't happened yet. Vladimir Putin hasn't agreed to any of the terms of the ceasefire because Trump isn't the boss of him.
ws it, and Putin can rely on [:because as Kamala Harris mentioned during the debate. He is so easily manipulated through compliments that he'll do whatever he can to win the praise of dictators around the world. When we take into consideration all of those things and we wrap it under what we know of Trump. This is somebody who's never been able to make a successful deal. He's got this reputation of being a great deal maker, but that's a work of pure fiction.
The Art of the Deal was not a book that Trump wrote. Somebody wrote it for him. And they probably wrote it for him because Trump is probably functionally illiterate and has no great business thoughts.
ankrupt six times. This is a [:This is who we're supposed to believe is some sort of great deal maker. Does that make sense to anybody?
So we shouldn't be surprised that he is in this office, flailing away left and right, trying to make something happen and seem relevant. And as everything is crumbling around him, what has he decided to do? I need to get a quick win. So let me see what. Country I can bomb and terrorize some brown people.
And now we're lobbing bombs in Yemen. This is par for the course. This is somebody who is not equipped to hold the job and from a security perspective should have never been allowed anywhere near the office in the first place.
, is not up to the task he's [:This is clearly a scenario where. This person is not fit for office. He doesn't have the mental horsepower. He doesn't have the stamina. He doesn't even have the interest to actually get shored up in the areas that he's got gaps.
This is somebody who is wholly bought and paid for by at least one foreign government and is operating on somebody else's interests and certainly not the interests of the American public.
This is somebody. Who really should be under consideration for being subject to the 25th Amendment and removed from office.
It's time for this farce to end.
