We are facing a real critical crisis with a President of the United States who is not only completely unqualified to serve in office, but whose behavior indicates that it is a real danger to this country for him to be in such a position of power.

Regardless of the politics, and I find it difficult to characterize how Trump handles the Presidency as "political" in nature. the chief executive of the United States of America is our representative face to the world. And occupying it, allegedly elected by the people, is a man whose pettiness, vengefullness and whose airing of personal grievances in a regular stream of social media posts on a daily basis is a colossal embarassment to the country.

I cannot recall a President who acts like a fifth grader with vengeful, hateful, name-calling, threats and insults hurled at people who make him angry because his ego cannot handle opposition. This, in and of itself, is personally and emotionally disqualifying. His words and the manner in which he treats anyone who gets his negative attention is a sign of a level of immaturity and emotional instability which goes beyond simply making him look foolish. It makes questioning his sanity legitimate. His crude and disrespectful behavior is a sign of a high level of personal loathing and lack of self-respect, along with ignorance of the kind of manners expected of someone holding such high office.

It's a sign that he lacks any leadership quality whatsoever, something I don't believe we have ever seen in anyone who has served as President of the United States, at least not recently.

Frankly, the manner in which partisan politics operates means that essentially, there is really no effective opposition party in elected office. Sorry, that's a hard reality for some people to swallow, but it is the truth. The kind of courage, boldness and risk that will be necessary to save this country from being stymied in some kind of paralysis that lets this travesty go on and on has not yet showed itself among any of the elected members of Congress. There have been some, in the federal judiciary, who have moved ahead with some measure of boldness, and maybe there might be just enough of that to keep the creeping ignorance at bay, I don't know.
