Ex-GOP senator: Trump is 'sick of mind,' should be removed from office
Source: The Hill
Former GOP Sen. Gordon Humphrey (N.H.), a longtime critic of President Trump, said on Wednesday the commander in chief is "sick of mind" and urged New Hampshire's lawmakers to support calls to remove him from office.
In a letter sent to Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) first reported by local news station WMUR, Humphrey accuses Trump of making a bad situation worse with his recent promise that North Korea would face "fire and fury" if it continued to threaten the U.S. "President Trump's threat to rain down 'fire and fury' on North Korea is like pouring gasoline on a fire," Humphrey wrote. "It's crazy."
Humphrey asks Kuster to support a bill in the House that would establish a test to determine if the president is mentally fit for office.
"Donald Trump is seriously sick. He is dangerous," Humphrey said in the letter. "As a citizen, former U.S. Senator, and twelve-year member of the Armed Services Committee, I urge you to act [at] once.

(4,341 posts)This is his worst and most dangerous character flaw, he has no sense, at all, of consequence. He was never taught to "think before you act", and that actions have consequences. His little mind cannot figure out the devastation that a nuclear war will bring to the World.
Maybe if someone told him that his hotels, and the Trump Tower would be destroyed if he gets us into a nuclear war, I think that would wake him up a little, enough to stop behaving like a baby-bully looking for a fight during recess.

(9,426 posts)been crude, rude, low life person. He has NEVER given any consideration to anyone other than himself. He was the LAST peron who should have been placed into the WH. Putin knew it, why didn't the gop? McConnell is still spouting "Well, at least we do not have Hillary in the WH" Why? After this fiasco nobody will strive to take the job. It has been debased by an orange ass who has shit for brains, and his grifting family who are no smarter than he is.

And from what I've read, he's also a registered Independent, 'cause he couldn't stomach their shit anymore.

(489 posts)When he beat Tom McIntyre in the 1978 mid-term debacle (we were getting creamed in mid-terms even then), he was pretty far out there. And he pretty much rubber-stamped anything Reagan proposed.
If this guy is calling Trump a wacko, you know Trump is bonkers.

(291 posts)It is a dramatization of the Cuban missile crisis. I am assuming it is historically accurate. Very relevant to now. There were hawks on both sides US and Russia that were willing to go into a Nuclear holocaust, but cooler heads prevailed. According to the film that was not easy, there but by the grace of god. I can't even imagine Trump handling a crisis like that, the guy is old, an idiot, and sick in the head. Something is just wrong with that guy.
