Is Donald Trump a risk to our national security?

What should be done about it?

How much is the Republican Party responsible for what is happening and what might happen??

Are our institutions strong enough to resist this threat from both foreign and domestic enemies?

Is it wise to wait until elections to try and fix the "problem"?

The Mueller investigation is working on it. We need to be working on getting Democrats to vote in November. That is what we can do that will have the greatest impact. Only Congress can control the President. We need to control Congress. It is that simple.

Both scenarios have risk; waiting until the elections has one pile of risks, removing him from office constitutionally is the ideal but unlikely, and trying to remove him from office in some other way seems both risky and extremely difficult.

Also removing him from office in some other way may damage our institutions as well.

And it is difficult, if not impossible, to see right now.

Thats my opinion, I could be wrong.

The GOP are the problems as well and no, get him and Pence, Lying Ryan out.

Actually there has to be somewhere in the Constitution for a remedy for this type of election that was stolen. Constitutional experts need to figure it out.

We have faced crisis after crisis while he squats in the Oval Office twelve hours a week, and he is unable to muster a coherent response to any challenge.

We've been told he spends as much time on the phone with "friends" as he does watching TV and we KNOW the jackass can't keep a secret. I have said all along he is the source of his own leaks and the really damaging ones we aren't likely to hear about. maybe at some point in the future those on his frequent call list can be given immunity for their testimony at his treason trial.
