Carl Bernstein: Officials Concluded Trump Was National Security Threat
“In hundreds of highly classified phone calls with foreign heads of state, President Trump was so consistently unprepared for discussion of serious issues, so often outplayed in his conversations with powerful leaders… and so abusive to leaders of America’s principal allies, that the calls helped convince some senior US officials — including his former secretaries of state and defense, two national security advisers and his longest-serving chief of staff — that the President himself posed a danger to the national security of the United States.”
“The sources said there was little evidence that the President became more skillful or competent in his telephone conversations with most heads of state over time. Rather, he continued to believe that he could either charm, jawbone or bully almost any foreign leader into capitulating to his will, and often pursued goals more attuned to his own agenda than what many of his senior advisers considered the national interest.”

This is the thing that nightmares are made of 
Why cannot people in the US government come together to address what is being perpetuated by the POTUS? This man has single-handedly destroyed our reputation on the world stage. And yet, we have elected officials who are not raising an outcry that would shake this nation to it's very core. The impeachment hearings dealt with just one small part of what is happening. We know the POS was guilty in that one small part of what is happening. The door is opening wider and wider to what is actually happening. Time to put the whole sh*tshow on the world stage and take this guy down. We aren't becoming a "banana republic", we are a "banana republic" under tRump. Watergate and Nixon were a walk in the park compared to what is happening now, and we appear to be standing around with our hands in our pockets going "tsk, tsk". 
Sadly, the entire time I was reading it, it felt as though I were watching a huge sinkhole opening up, and our country falling into it.
One embarrassment after the other. To think there were people expecting the "pivot".
