This guy poses an existential threat to our democracy and our national security

I don't know what his real problem is.

He might simply be too immature and lazy for the office. He might suffer from some narcissistic pathology. He might have delusions of grandeur that defend him against the nagging self-doubts associated with gross incompetence. He might really consider himself an aristocrat enthroned by some divine will. He might be motivated by such greed that he actually has no morals. He might thrill to the roar of the extremist crowds who applaud his demagoguery. He might enjoy provoking outraged reactions. He might just be prematurely senile. Perhaps he gets off on betrayal: there are people like that.

I don't know what his real problem is. And the truth is, I'm not likely to figure it out. But it really doesn't matter what his exact problem is. I don't care whether he's a gigantic asshole, a total boob, or an unrepentant crook. I do care that his behavior daily weakens my country, undermining our democracy and our national security

He has got to removed: the sooner the better. And we have to find a way to remove him that doesn't ruin us all
