How about
now that
President Obama has stated that Trump is unfit to be President?
In perhaps his strongest language condemning the Republican presidential nominee, President Barack Obama said Tuesday that Donald Trump is "unfit to serve as president" because he lacks the temperament for the job and "doesn't appear to have basic knowledge around critical issues."
Speaking at a joint press conference with Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, the president said his assessment that Trump is "woefully unprepared" for the Oval Office has nothing to do with partisan politics: "There have been Republican [presidential candidates] with whom I disagreed with," Obama said, "but I didn't have a doubt that they could function as president."
I haven't heard any historians cite a similar instance of such a statement. It's simply extraordinary. What happened to no-drama-Obama? He goes on to make it clear that Trump would be a threat to the security of our nation.
Since the President is the leader of the nation, how is a patriotic citizen supposed to interpret this? And it's not that I don't agree with him. But as he explained, this issue is above partisan politics. He's ostensibly trying to convince Republicans to drop their support for Trump, but, as some in this forum have pointed out, that might not be what the Clinton campaign is hoping for. She
wants to run against him. So is the USA now facing an existential threat?
My own interpretation is possibly yes. But if we elect Trump it would simply confirm that the country is beyond hope already.
