Bob Woodward of Watergate fame has once again stepped up to the plate of history. He is publishing a book that basically exposes the fact that Donald Trump, president of the United States, is totally incapable emotionally or intellectually, of performing the duties of that office. And the only buffer against his idiocy and madness are those surrounding him who have to do such things as hide papers from him and countermand his orders to the military in regard to attacking Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, \u201cLet\u2019s f\u2013king kill him! Let\u2019s go in. Let\u2019s kill the f\u2013king lot of them.\u201d <\/p>\n
We are talking about the President of the United States. The most powerful office in the world.<\/p>\n

\nSeptember 4 at 3:09 PM<\/p>\nIf you take seriously the revelations in Bob Woodward\u2019s book \u201cFear\u201d \u2014 and how can you not, given Woodward\u2019s nearly half-century of scoops about Washington\u2019s elite? \u2014 then it\u2019s time for President Trump to be removed from office via the 25th Amendment because he is clearly \u201cunable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.\u201d That will never happen, because the Cabinet is packed with Trump toadies who compete with each other to deliver the most fawning praise of their supreme leader. But on the merits, it should happen.<\/p>\n
Of course, it doesn\u2019t take Woodward\u2019s revelations to demonstrate Trump\u2019s unfitness for office. Trump demonstrates it on a daily basis with his campaign-rally rants and Twitter tirades. Just in the past day, the president has demanded that the Justice Department drop criminal investigations against his supporters because it could cost Republicans House seats, and suggested that NBC lose its broadcast license because, in essence, he objects to the criticism he receives on MSNBC. A senior Justice Department official told Axios: \u201cIt shows how POTUS thinks DOJ should be used: As a weapon against enemies and a tool to win elections.\u201d In a normal world \u2014 a world where Congress was not controlled by blind Republican partisans \u2014 the fact that Trump continues to make demands so at odds with the rule of law would be cause for his impeachment and removal.<\/p>\n
