Dear
Congressman,
Re:
Enough is enough
I know I
keep harping on about this, but… how often does your president* have to show
his incompetence to the world before Republicans admit to themselves that he
should not be in the White House? Yesterday’s episode was but the latest—and
surely the worst—in an ever-escalating stream of blunders. To invite Russian
officials into the Oval Office and share with them information that compromises
an ally and jeopardizes our country’s entire security system is an act of
foolishness that overshadows every one of the man’s other acts of foolishness
to date.
As the
New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks points out in his op-ed
article today, the president* is a child who is incapable of self-control or
rational assessment of the people or the world around him. His primary—if not
his only—driving force is an insatiable need is for love and admiration. His
childish innocence, when given free rein in a world of adult responsibility,
becomes dangerous ignorance. In a world filled with potential pitfalls and real
danger, it is nuclear matter waiting to explode.
We have
been witnessing a progressive decline. Trump is not growing into the office, as
some claim; he is decompensating. Each blunder takes us deeper into the morass
he is creating—and takes him deeper into the fantasy his mind creates about
himself. He is incapable of understanding, let alone acknowledging his own
mistakes, and believes so firmly in the infallibility of his personal wisdom
that he rejects the advice of anyone who dares to question it. He is petulant
and vengeful, a toddler whose tantrums are as unpredictable as they are
uncontrollable.
Are you,
Congressman, content to stand by and let this dangerous man-child imperil your
country? Or are you ready, finally, to speak out?
Respectfully,
