On a scale of 1-10, how much of a threat is Donald Trump to our democracy and our national security?

With a "1" being a barely negligible threat.

And "10" being an existential threat.

Donald Trump is not only a threat to our democracy and national security, but the safety of the world. This maniac is so indebted to the Russians - which may also be the reason for all the abortion bans: the Russians know how divided we are on that issue and are exploiting it - that if Putin tells Trump to start a war in the Third World, Trump will do it.

What Trump’s supporters don’t realize: if that asshole gets re-elected, at some point Putin is going to tell Trump it’s time to collect all the guns.

This entire administration's actions should have been suspended "pending outcome of investigations".

Pathetic when European Allies are worried about the stability of the United States and the USA going on a rampage like Nazi Germany.

10 to democracy threat because if he isn't impeached for his abuses of power, they will continue & worsen under successive POTUS.

911 on security. He told Russians & Philippine dictator classified info. Now I fear he's playing "wag the dog" with Iran. After all, what Speaker would start impeachment on a war-time POTUS?

the Constitution says. And he's a liar, and he's reckless, and he has murder in his heart. So on the given scale he's a clear 10.
