The Trump Effect is real and has taken many forms. It has emboldened other white supremacists and increased hate crime in America. It has divided our nation more than at any other time in history than during the Civil War. This effect has also made our nation and the world more susceptible to nuclear war and the end of the world. If this is avoided, Trump’s refusal to accept scientific fact that climate change is the greatest danger to the world will end life as we know it today.

Trump recently increased tensions in the Middle East when he announced that he personally supports establishing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The Trump Effect has allowed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to believe that he will have the full support of the American government, regardless of his self-serving and immoral actions.

Just days ago Israel increased its military presence in Syria. After one of its aircraft was shot down by anti-aircraft missiles, the Israeli military responded by destroying an Iranian drone which was allegedly directed towards Israel. Multiple incidents have occurred since the two events, and Israel has escalated its military efforts in and around Syria.

Syria is primarily a Sunni State. Iran is composed of mostly Shiites. Israel is interfering in a religious war, and by attacking the Iranian war effort, has increased the possibility of a war between Israel and Iran.

If war occurs, will Trump intervene? Will another Republican president place our nation in another unwinnable war in the Middle East? Trump is mentally unstable and easily influenced by praise and power.

If our nation becomes heavily involved in the region once again, and sides with Israel, this will trigger other nations, nations with nuclear armament, to become involved. This could result in the end of the world, and the elimination of mankind. And no, I’m not being overly dramatic; this is just how serious conflicts begin; by taking sides.

Diplomacy is no longer possible. Our present government has allowed our best and finest to leave the State Department. What remains are inexperienced men and women, including the Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

Trump must be removed from his position of power by any means; he is the greatest danger to mankind in the history of the world. No one in our government has courage; they are all willing to bow to the fuhrer who is dripping secret sauce on the bedding in the White House. Someone needs to stand up and tell the truth; someone other than me.
