Rep Maxine Waters sounds alarm: "save our country before this would-be dictator takes us all down!"



Maxine Waters ✔@RepMaxineWaters

Is there one brave member of Trump’s cabinet who would move to initiate the 25th amendment to remove him from office? Now is the time to save our country before this would-be dictator takes us all down!

But the response to your question? The answer is no. There is no one in the White House who would even consider the 25th Amendment. Even with chocolate sauce on top. They are all sworn toadies who will not step one foot out of line.

Thanks for trying, though.

I absolutely can't think of a single member of that cabinet who would possibly take such a step. It would require integrity, honor, and patriotism - none of which exists among those people.

This is renegade tyrant, a rogue dictator who has occupied our White House and, because of his own behaviors, turned it into a fortress. I have never seen anything like it, (except long ago in other countries, ahem).

We do not have a President right now, that is, if you go by the solemn duties and the oath, not to mention some Constitutional aspects of it. He is only President by convention, titular basically, but dangerous to the maximum. The game has changed and it appears that he will be digging in his heels and accelerating the egregious and violent assault on us all by way of rhetoric and actions. A cowards only acts like that when he feels safe. He is being enabled.

No matter what, we should declare him illegitimate. It may have no legal teeth, but that declaration is for our own sake as a people under siege right now by a Fascist-style interloper in our White House. He is amassing his "army" as we speak and the babygate around the White House should be considered meaningful and symbolic about what is happening right now.
