Will Donald Trump complete his presidency? It is becoming increasingly doubtful that he will be allowed to damage our nation for a four year term. Every day Trump proves that he is mentally incompetent to lead our nation. Every day he proves that he hates the America of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and Monroe. Every day he offers additional facts that he supports himself and 584 other billionaires, while ignoring the majority of the American people. Every day additional proof of his involvement with Russia is exposed. Every day he violates the ethics of his office. Every day we are offered the truth about his beliefs in white supremacy. All of these facts are confirmed as the Senate Majority Leader is quietly doubting that Trump will complete his term of office.

Mitch McConnell and Trump are embattled over Trump’s agenda. Trump fails to understand how government works, and apparently believes that the United States is a kingdom, not a democratic society. This infighting has resulted in McConnell privately questioning Trump’s ability to perform the job for which he was elected.

It is factual that Trump is unqualified to live in the White House, but concerns about his personal problems are far more disconcerting. His weak temperament, fragile ego, and penchant for rash decisions make him unstable and dangerous. His failure to face the fact that governing requires effort on the part of the executive branch has resulted in zero accomplishments in seven months and three days.

Tonight he held a ‘reelection campaign’ in Phoenix. This appears foolhardy with the fact that he may not complete his first term. With an approval rating lower than any other president in history, it is doubtful that he will have the support of any Americans other than his dwindling base.

However, McConnell is not without blame. For eight years, seven months, and three days he is the man responsible for our dysfunctional government. He created the ‘party of no.’

Sadly, the American people are the victims of our Republican controlled government. We can change that fact in 15 months. My advice; vote. Your ballot is a weapon against the futility of GOP politicians.

Please re-post; thank you.
