I never imagined we would really be in this position...at least not this quickly. Trump's erratic behavior keeps me up at night. Seeing the Repugs not standing up to COUNTRY sickens me. Something has to give before we preemptively nuke NK. The indictments, arrests or a government/military coup can't come soon enough. I don't know who is Trump's rational voice of reason.

He takes no accountability whatsoever , continues to even compare his time with Obama's, then in Afghanistan uses the MOAB to compensate for his tiny hands, and, well, you know what else.... kills Syrian rebels Who were supposed to be helping, and effectively challenges the crazy NK dictator.

Have his supporters identified anything he's done yet to put America first?

Very worried. I'm wondering what country/ continent is safest to move to for now? Australia?

I'm not sure how much more of this lunacy my psyche can take.

Trump is an incompetent asshole enabled by malevolent assholes, and nothing I can conceivably do, short of a capital crime, can have any possible impact upon the course of events.

No one in a position of power seems to have any incentive to restrain his dangerous excesses, and absent hundreds of thousands of dollars in petty cash, I have no way to influence anyone who might otherwise be inclined to rein him in.

Would my worry inspire Trump to some fit of unprecedented introspection and lead him thereby to abandon his reckless quest to destroy everything in sight? Of course not.


So what would be the value of my worry?

Hopefully this man man will not kill millions...

I'm afraid, however, that he is PRECISELY the kind of man who can become drunk with holding that kind of military power.
