Where will this end. How will this all turn out? The whole trump presidency what can end this? Is there a way he can be sacked basically im not familiar with u.s politics.
A former Republican lawmaker says the nation might be better off if Democrats win back the House of Representatives in next year’s midterm election to help keep President Donald Trump in check.
David Jolly, who represented a Florida district, called Trump “unstable” and “risky when it comes to matters of national security” in an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday night.
He said:
“I personally as a Republican in the past few weeks have wondered, is the republic safer if Democrats take over the House in 2018. I raised that issue with the leading Republican in D.C. last week, and the remarkable thing is he had been thinking exactly the same thing. This is a president that needs a greater check on his power than Republicans in Congress have offered.”
Jolly suggested it could be a matter of national security.
“We do know that we have a president who very well might put this nation at risk and this Republican Congress has done nothing to check his power,” he added. “Democrats could, and we might be better off as a republic if they take the House in 2018.”
The latest public sparring between the two men comes after McCain, who was awarded the National Constitution Center’s Liberty Medal Monday night in Philadelphia, used his acceptance speech to denounce “half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems.” Such a worldview, the longtime Republican lawmaker said, “is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.”
The history of Nationalism leads to nowhere but destruction and death to citizens and soldiers.
Blame others. Praise himself. Anything said about him he doesn’t like call it “fake news.” Play golf. Never help others in need. Boast about untrue accomplishments. Wow. This guy is a real winner.
Something must be done. Clearly trump is unfit to be POTUS. He is not stable and not intelligent. It has become extremely scary.

Not it to mention he clearly has no soul.
He is literally one of the worst people in the world.
"He was taking shots at you again yesterday," Plante said. "You heard what he said yesterday, Sen. McCain?"
"Yeah, well I hear it. And people have to be careful because at some point I fight back," Trump said. "I'm being very nice. I'm being very, very nice. But at some point I fight back, and it won't be pretty."
Responding to Trump's threat, McCain bluntly told reporters Tuesday: "I've faced far greater challenges than this."

yes he is. and he was before he was President. and 60 million decided his behavior was ok. it's very disturbing to try and wrap my head around that.
"I've been amazed and disappointed by so much of what this President had said, and his approach to running this country, which seems to be one of just a never ending divisiveness. But his comments today about those who have lost loved ones in times of war and his lies that previous presidents Obama and Bush never contacted their families, is so beyond the pale, I almost don't have the words.
This man in the Oval Office is a soulless coward who thinks that he can only become large by belittling others. This has of course been a common practice of his, but to do it in this manner–and to lie about how previous Presidents responded to the deaths of soldiers–is as low as it gets. We have a pathological liar in the White House: unfit intellectually, emotionally, and psychologically to hold this office and the whole world knows it, especially those around him every day. The people who work with this President should be ashamed because they know it better than anyone just how unfit he is, and yet they choose to do nothing about it. This is their shame most of all."
it's sort of sad to think that even a shithead like Trump is soulless. He's more like a 14 year old school yard bully. Soulless on the outside but fragile as an egg on the inside.

Yes, he always has been an idiot -- willfully ignorant, intellectually lazy, coasting on his privilege, take your pick. Now he has dementia as well, lucky us.
All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.
What was that about the brilliant brilliance of Trump brilliantly playing 4D chess and the republicans picking up seats in congress on his coattails, on the way to coasting to re-election in 2020 and being the man and party to lead us in these dangerous times? WTF was that again?
You know - if it was someone else, you could think that maybe they just were meaning to say that the fallen soldier signed up despite knowing the risks due to a sense of duty and country. But being trump, you know exactly what he meant by it.
At this point I hope the Mueller investigation finds enough to get rid of Trump. There are sooooo many things that should lead to his being removed from office, but that will hopefully be the final straw. If not, I can only hope that the Democrats win back the House in 2018 and find a decent candidate to go against trump in 2020. At this point, I'd probably vote for any Democrat over trump....which pains me to say because I think there are some really bad democrats that want to take the country in a direction I do not want it to go. But I don't think they are dangerous or have evil intentions....unlike trump.

I'm curious.....please define "bad democrats" and who are they. And explain what you mean by "take the country in a direction I do not want it to go". Just curious Thanks

I can't imagine it being someone else. Anyone else, even if they have no empathy whatsoever, would at least have a sense of the optics of saying such a thing. This is a guy that just does not have the capacity to really think or care about others.

Bad was the wrong word for it. They are bad for me and my opinion, not bad.
For me, I'm not a fan of Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden for different reasons. There are others as well. But my disagreements with them are far less than Trump and many of the republicans that have allowed this to occur. I just want a more moderate view of many of the issues, especially taxes and government spending.

I agree with you on the conclusion.. not a fan of Bernie or Warren, but I do like Biden.

Jolly, who won a House seat in a 2014 special election and then won re-election later that year, has been a frequent Trump critic who in August called him “an ill-tempered, unqualified and at times dangerous leader of the free world.”
