America deserves a White House free from chaos. Instead we have a president whose decisions are impulsive reactions to cable TV punditry. Our country suffers the results.
As Council on Foreign Relations’ President Richard Hass points out, Trump has put us closer to:
As Council on Foreign Relations’ President Richard Hass points out, Trump has put us closer to:
- War on foreign soil, by replacing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor H. R. McMaster with John Bolton. Trump is assembling a war cabinet. Bolton advocates for first strikes against North Korea. Bolton and Pompeo support withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.
-War on democracy, by firing Andrew McCabe and attacking Robert Mueller by name. In addition, the resignation of Trump’s lead lawyer further increases the likelihood that Trump will fire Mueller, sparking a constitutional crisis.
-War on trade, by slapping $50 billion of tariffs on China. China has retailed with tariffs of their own, sending the stock market down.
Adding to the above, Trump threatened to veto the spending bill over his wall and continued to show deference to Putin when he congratulated Putin on his “reelection” (despite being specifically instructed NOT to do so).
Congress must contain this White House. And if this Congress won’t, we must vote in one that will.
