...and it was so egregious and out in the open his Defense Secretary resigned in protest.

Yesterday Trump seemed to feel he needed to help Putin and Russia right away. In some sort of twisted panic he lifted sanctions on one of the Russian oligarchs that was promised private briefings on his campaign by Paul Manafort, ordered the removal of troops from Syria, and then only hours after Putin praised this move on Russian TV but said he would also like US troops out of Afghanistan, Trump ordered the removal of US troops from Afghanistan.

Defense Secretary Mattis went to speak to Trump to stop him from doing these things face to face knowing that Trump may not listen to him so he carried with him a letter of resignation...and ended up giving it to Trump. Mattis is saying what Trump is doing is abandoning our allies and the fight for freedom and democracy on this planet and shifting the US to the side of dictatorships like Russia, the Saudis, and China.

This is because these are places that will give the Trump businesses money while the US and many of our allies will not.

We literally have a president that sees the United States as his enemy.

What I find sort of frightening is that in the midst of all the fucking chaos Trump created yesterday (in a single day!) to intentionally do harm to the United States there were Democrats saying the best plan to remove him is to let him finish his term and vote him out in the 2020 election.

I don't know if letting a guy that is clearly trying to destroy this country for Putin remain as our president is a good idea.

The other talk yesterday was that people like Mattis may actually believe that Trump is too mentally ill/impaired to continue to serve and if he continues to attempt to make moves designed to endanger the country they may move to use the 25th amendment.

Yesterday it seemed even Republicans felt Trump had lost his mind.
