Trump's Not Fit To Lead The Most Powerful Nation On Earth

(The cartoon image above is from friendlystock.com.)

We know Donald Trump is a narcissist. That's not a good quality for a president to have, but if he had the ability to put that aside and run the country in a competent way, it could possibly work. Unfortunately, he doesn't have that ability.

Trump only cares about one thing -- himself.

We knew he wasn't competent when he assumed office. The hope was that he would spend his time listening to career officials and grow into the job. He hasn't even tried to do that. Intelligence officials have had to dumb down their daily briefings, because he doesn't have the interest or attention span to take in the knowledge he needs to do his job.

We now learn from former Secretary of State Tillerson that he went into a conference with Putin (leader of our most powerful enemy) unprepared (while Putin came very well prepared). This is dangerous stuff. We need our leader to be prepared when he meets other leaders -- especially our enemies.

But Trump won't spend the time or make the effort to be prepared on any subject, domestic for foreign. He spends most of his time watching TV and tweeting, and those efforts are aimed at only one thing -- trying to make himself look better.

He's so thin-skinned that he will refuse to meet with legislators to negotiate solutions to national problems, simply because he perceived something someone said as an insult to him. He can't get past the perceived insults and solve problems, because the only problem he sees is how he is being treated by the press or other politicians.

He flies by the seat of his pants (without preparation) -- doing whatever he thinks will make himself look good (and not what is best for the country). And this is the person who control our Armed Forces and has his finger of the nuclear button.

Trump is not fit to be president. The leaders of other nations have already realized that, and they no longer look to the U.S. for leadership. It's time the American people also realized it, and voted him out of office. We cannot afford to give someone as utterly incompetent as Trump another four years.
