He must resign now, before he starts a war.

Yale psychiatrist warns Trump will take millions down with him as his mental state disintegrates:

These are truly frightening developments that likely foreshadow potentially catastrophic international crises to come. Amid a worldwide economic depression on top of major misery and death from the pandemic, geopolitical confrontations that this president has already brought to a brink are likely to explode.


*snip*

As the most eminent mental health experts warned would happen since Donald Trump’s election, the office of the U.S. presidency has become a locus of grave psychological dysfunction. Seldom do we see our warnings realized in real life with such recurrent, precise confirmation, as if on schedule.

The president’s latest suggestion that injecting bodies with disinfectant, or irradiating them with ultraviolet light, could help with COVID-19 is only the latest, blatant example of his malady: His boundless willingness to place the nation in harm’s way for his slightest gain. Given our track record, the world should know that we were not speaking frivolously of his dangerousness and that, were Trump to continue in the presidency, not only the United States but the world would see vast, unnecessary increases in suffering and death.

UPDATE: Please stop telling me that "it's not going to happen" in all caps. I think that
I get the message. What the Democrats are so bad at is wilding the militant language in messaging. Rhetoric turns up the heat. Constant hammering on resignation is a tool to turn up the heat and change the messaging from....I don't know what to do about it... to this is the solution. During impeachment the Republican messaging of" he or she must resign", dominated the airwaves and manipulated the media into keeping the ball in their court.
What does no one in the Democratic party see this?

Narrative, frame, whatever it's called, it is ours to direct despite the power of corporately controlled media. We certainly have plenty of material with which to fashion the tools.

They should have vetted Trump and he should not have been allowed to run as a primary candidate. With Trump's unseemly background and track record of bankruptcies, sexual dallancies and racist remarks - he should have been disqualified from the start. After 3 years of his antics as president, collusion and lying - he didn't display any qualities of a leader of the most powerful country in the world. The Repugs had the opportunity to impeach him and they blew it. Even today they still circle the wagons and make excuses for him.

I hold the Repugs responsible for everything that's happened and will still happen until the presidency changes hands in Jan 2021.

The scariest time that I fear are those days between Nov 2020 and Jan 2021. I won't feel safe until he's totally out of the White House.
