We're Passengers in a Car Driven by a Drunk

Remember when that guy, I think at a Town Hall, said he feels like a passengar in a car driven by a drunk, referring to tRUMP being President?? Well, I just can't get past the thought that not only is that true, but on top of that, the car I'm a passengar in, has brakes that are failing, tires that need replacing, an engine that is shot, etc! I mean who in this administration can we feel confident about??
Maybe, McMaster, Pompei, and Mattis, but aside from them, who the hell is there to make us feel like they've got this covered, and we're going to be ok?! Who is there to make us feel that they know what they're doing, and we can relax?! Anytime anyone in this administration speaks, I sit there thinking that is "amateur hour" and I feel like this is all just a terrible nightmare or a joke or something! And, I'm just sick of the rethuglicans letting all of this happen!

We don't wait a year and a half to get a drunk driver away from the wheel.

Do we...

Brace for impact?
Take the wheel away from the drunk?
Motion to other drivers that we are in distress?
Jump out of the car?

If we don't get rid of him soon he is going to destroy us all. At least you have some kind of chance with a drunk behind the wheel.

I'm headed for the surgical suite to have all my organs looked over by a high school sophomore for a surgeon and an anesthesiologist who is deeply in debt to banks and the mafia who stares at his smart phones looking at stock prices and if the horse races will pay off instead of the system monitoring my anesthesia.
