The illegitimate presidency of Donald J. Trump is unpredictable; and that’s not a good thing. He is erratic and refuses to consult his closest advisers most of the time which results in actions and decisions which create hysteria among our nation’s people and even within his own party. Just recently Trump blamed ‘both sides’ for the tragedy in Charlottesville for the violence which occurred. Two days later, he condemned the hate groups which engaged in their march hoping to instigate violent reaction. The next day Trump defended the Alt-Right, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis, and other white supremacist groups calling some of them ‘good people.’

“I do think there needs to be radical changes,” Sen. Bob Corker, a Tennessee Republican, said in a briefing with reporters Thursday. “The President has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful.”

This statement should have originated from Mitch McConnell or Paul Ryan, but they are too hypocritical and cowardly to offer the truth to the American people.

The important part of this story is that respected Republicans are now admitting that Trump is mentally incompetent, and cannot be allowed remain in his position of power. He is a danger to not only our nation, but to the future of the world. Senator Corker was not finished.

“Helping inspire divisions because it generates support from your political base is not a formula for causing our nation to advance, our nation to overcome the many issues we have to deal with right now.”

Corker was not the only Republican to question Trump’s capabilities. The junior Senator from South Carolina,Tim Scott, also commented.

“I’m not going to defend the indefensible … comments on Monday were strong,” Scott told Vice News. “His comments on Tuesday started erasing the comments that were strong. What we want to see from our president is clarity and moral authority. And that moral authority is compromised when Tuesday happened. There’s no question about that.”

I, along with dozens of mental healthcare professionals have been offering specific instances where Trump has proven that he is a paranoid schizophrenic for more than a year. It is past the time when all Americans must face reality; they have a man who is mentally challenged possessing the nuclear launch codes. All Republicans must stand up for our nation and the world and admit that millions of Americans elected a man who is totally unfit to defile our White House.

Okay, let’s get to the core; the history or Trump and his history of racism, and subsequent proof that he is a member of the white supremacist movement is ‘huge.’ During the Nixon administration, he was sued for refusing to rent or lease apartments to black Americans. His entire life has been spent suggesting that men and women of color are inferior to whites. He claimed that President Barrack Obama was not an American citizen. His first selections for his top advisers were well known racists who supported white nationalism, and even recent additions, including Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka have proven that Trump favors neo-Nazis and white Supremacists to be members of his inner circle.

There is a national hysteria related to the illegitimate Trump presidency, and it is completely understandable. He is not presidential, and rejects all former presidents and every principle of our founding fathers. The very foundation of our nation’s ideals is in jeopardy as long as Trump remains in office.

I am a patriot, and I love the people of my country. I have seldom supported my government, simply because they have proven themselves ambitious and lazy men and women who refuse to fight for what is right; to fight for the needs and desires of the majority of the American people. Their decisions are too often based on the philosophy of party first. Our people deserve better; we are not only the majority but the nation itself. We have the power, but only if we unite and denounce both political parties; making the decision that the best candidates must receive our votes.

A recent poll revealed that Independents now outnumber Democrats and Republicans; this is a very good sign that in the next elections it is possible that our nation’s people will no longer vote for candidates because they have an “R” or a “D” next to their names; this has been self-destructive.

Please re-post; thank you.
