REPUBLICAN IRRESPONSIBILITY

REPUBLICAN IRRESPONSIBILITY
.
According to New York Magazine, Trump’s own lawyer, John Dowd, called his client an idiot. “Somewhat more audaciously, he has argued that Trump should not have to testify to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, because the transcript would leak, and foreign leaders would see that Trump is an idiot:
.
Dowd then explained to Mueller and Quarles why he was trying to keep the president from testifying: 'I’m not going to sit there and let him look like an idiot. And you publish that transcript, because everything leaks in Washington, and the guys overseas are going to say, ‘I told you he was an idiot. I told you he was a goddamn dumbbell. What are we dealing with this idiot for?’”

.
Trump has just declared that he is not going to cooperate with congresses constitutional right of oversight. Trump has taken it upon himself to overrule the United States Constitution and has declared that any further investigations into his personal conduct is unnecessary, completely dismissing congresses constitutional right to oversight. Thus, he’s so uninformed regarding the underpinnings of America’s democratic laws and traditions, and so self-serving, greedy, and in fear of the revelations in the Robert Mueller Report, that he’s completely untethered to the democratic principles that most of us take for granted. As a result, as we speak, he’s currently testing the limits of America’s willingness to defend our Constitution - and yes, it can happen here. If Trump and Mitch McConnell's stacked Supreme Court goes along with him, at that very moment, we no longer have a democracy, but a kleptocracy like in Russia, which, I think, is Trump's ultimate goal.
.
Privately, many Republicans hate Trump's guts, that's why his White House leaks like a sieve – and personally, I don’t think Melania even likes him - but Trump is a perfect reflection of the GOP itself.  Like Trump, the leaders of the Republican Party are a group of self-serving, manipulative, and unpatriotic liars who are more than willing to drag America under a bus to promote their own political interests. Clear evidence of that is, virtually every time this nation faces a crisis, Republican fingerprints are all over it, and that's exactly what's happening in this case. They know that Donald Trump is a mindless international disaster, yet, they continue to support him for their own selfish reasons - once again, putting party and the further enrichment of the rich, before country.
.
That clearly demonstrates why the GOP is far too recklessly selfish and
irresponsible to govern. The entire Trump image is a farce, and they know it, but they care much more about promoting their political agenda than they do the welfare of the nation. The GOP is propping up a man with the intelligence and maturity level of an 8-year-old to the very apex of political power in this country and the world. If we had a legitimate national emergency, they'd have to scramble to circumvent him in order to get someone competent enough to handle it. According to the Mueller Report, his staff has to routinely save him from himself even during normal times. So, if the GOP was even the least bit patriotic - or in the case of Evangelicals, God-fearing - considering the damage they're doing to this nation, they'd be ashamed to call themselves Americans.
