Defense One: We Need Joe Biden. Donald Trump has failed.



Donald Trump has failed. Our national cohesion and security can’t wait another five years.

America is in crisis, and our national security is becoming a casualty. President Donald Trump’s abject failure to lead has left us weaker as a people and as a global power. The world watches our overdue reckoning with systemic racism and they see a president with an impulse for photo ops and force. They watch, and see things like an American police officer beat an Australian cameraman after Trump tweets “when the looting starts, the shooting starts.” They watch, and America’s international standing suffers. Allies and partners wonder whether this America will stand with them to meet common threats to free people. Autocrats wonder if this America will look away when freedom is repressed and U.S. interests are threatened.

The United States needs a new president, one who seeks to heal our divisions, grow Americans’ prosperity, and strengthen our society. When we are stronger together at home, we can advance our security interests abroad.

The next five years will be pivotal for U.S. national security. The coronavirus pandemic lays bare the fragility of our health security. Climate change threatens generations of Americans. And authoritarian states are developing sophisticated weaponry, flouting other nations’ sovereignty, killing, jailing, and interning their own people, and leveraging modern technology to undermine our democracy.

With years to meet these fitness standards, Donald Trump has failed. He doesn’t pass muster for company command, let alone for commander in chief. We will need Vice President Joe Biden to rebuild global trust in the credibility of America’s promises and the strength of our will to uphold them. He can be the commander and chief the American people need and deserve. - Defense One

That's how the people whom you command feel about you, Dotard! They don't like you. They think you're a failure, have made us weaker and you don't deserve any more chances. YOU'RE OUT!
