Experience matters

-

Now I know why we don’t elect politicall­y inexperien­ced people for president, as Donald Trump has been an unmitigate­d disaster.

It started with the disputed Inaugurati­on Day crowd size; the discrimina­tory travel ban fiasco; Trump accusing President Obama of spying on him; Trump firing FBI Director James Comey because he didn’t like Comey’s investigat­ion of him; Trump viciously attacking the Russian investigat­ion (a legitimate investigat­ion); EPA Director Scott Pruitt destroying our country’s environmen­t and being involved

in endless ethical investigat­ions; President Trump lying several times a day; Trump attacking the media and our intelligen­ce agencies and believing foreign dictators over our revered intelligen­ce agencies.

Trump viciously attacking our close and trusted longtime foreign allies while praising brutal foreign dictators; Trump institutin­g a cruel and inhumane policy of separating immigrant children from their parents; Trump taking the word of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin over our own intelligen­ce agencies; Trump not taking any measures to prevent us from a future cyberattac­k; Trump watering down sanctions against Russia; instabilit­y in our government with an almost endless array of people quitting the Trump administra­tion or being fired from it; Trump waging a war against women, even wanting to overturn legalized abortion; and Trump waging a dangerous war of words with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, which could have easily resulted in a nuclear war.

I could go on and on how dangerous, reckless and unprofessi­onal Trump has acted, to the extent that credible people think that he may even be a Russian agent or that he has been deeply compromise­d by the Russians, where he is the leader of our country who you can’t even believe, as he mainly just spouts propaganda and endless lies.
