The danger of a chickenshit president [View all]

To be a good leader you need to be a lot of things, but a coward isn't one of them. Donald Trump is a coward. Right now, he isn't frightened, he isn't scared, he's terrified. Shaken to his core, and it shows. He's not used to dealing with people like McCabe and Comey and Rosenstein and especially like Robert Mueller. All the short cuts and immorality and double dealing that served him so well as a shady real estate man and second rate product shill are dancing in his head every moment of every day. Every day the cackling demons running around in that mush he calls brains get a little louder.

The dangerous part is that he has nothing, and I mean NOTHING, in his life experience to call on. Most people have been through tough times. They learn things like courage and perseverance and fortitude that they use to guide them when things get tough. Trump doesn't have any of that. The spoiled rich kid who has never been punched in the nose, never done a real day's work in his life, been a bully and blowhard as long as he's infested the Earth. He doesn't know what to do and the phony tough guy routine that mesmerizes his "base" is exposed as worthless in the face of pressure from people with real morals and principles. He's getting more desperate by the day and the problem is that desperate people do desperate things.

With his calloused twitter finger, his tiny hands and his fat ass this terrified pathetic excuse for a human is lashing out. Who knows what he'll break and what damage he'll cause with his tantrums. I know due process needs to take its course and evidence needs to be airtight, but we can't get rid of this guy fast enough.
