New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, in their new book “Regime Change”, inform us of the state of mind of President Donald Trump, which is horrifying and terrifying.
Trump told the journalists that he is the most powerful leader in world history, with his control of the military, and influence through social media.
Trump claimed he was more powerful than past world leaders, who were authoritarians, including.
Joseph Stalin
Adolf Hitler
Mao Tse Tung
Napoleon Bonaparte
Alexander the Great
Genghis Khan
William the Conqueror
Julius and Augustus Caesar
Attila the Hun
Treump’s state of mind is a five alarm fire raging, and is a dire threat to all Americans who care about accountability for government leaders at all levels.
Trump is violating the Constitution and the Bill of Rights on a daily basis.
This should lead to action to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the Republican leadership in Congress, while starting to be critical of Trump on various issues to some extent, are failing the nation, not doing what an earlier generation of Republicans a half century ago did to pressure Richard Nixon out of the Presidency in 1974!
