George Will pens scathing attack on 'unfit' Trump for 'disorderly mind,' 'limitless gullibility'

What can the public do about a President who doesn't seem to know anything? Keep talking about all of his mistakes.

Longtime conservative columnist George Will published an article Wednesday night in which he called upon the public to contact their representatives to express their concerns about Trump, who he says has a "combination of impulsivity and credulity" that makes him "uniquely unfit to take the nation into a military conflict."

"It is urgent for Americans to think and speak clearly about President Trump's inability to do either. This seems to be not a mere disinclination but a disability. It is not merely the result of intellectual sloth but of an untrained mind bereft of information and married to stratospheric self-confidence," he wrote.

Besides noted gaps in his historical knowledge, Trump also seems to know little about some of the most important issues he has to face while doing his job. Will noted that the president doesn't know the specifics of the nuclear triad (the method of delivering a nuclear weapon), or what has been the long-standing precedent on what to do with the world's stock of nuclear weaponry.

Church doctrine teaches that mere repentance isn't enough. You have to heal the wounds and make whole those you damaged as far as that is possible. You don't get absolution for your sins by penning a too-little, too-late column.
