Trump Trainwreck - Ongoing diary of betrayal and evil
Here's what a retired CIA officer, Glenn Carle, has to say about Donald Trump:
Quote:...Trump’s temperament had played into Russia’s hands and put the president-elect on a collision course with the CIA.

He said: “Look, in my professional assessment as an intelligence officer, Trump has a reflexive, defensive, monumentally narcissistic personality, for whom the facts and national interest are irrelevant, and the only thing that counts is whatever gives personal advantage and directs attention to himself.

“He is about the juiciest intelligence target an intelligence office could imagine. He groans with vulnerabilities. He will only work with individuals or entities that agree with him and build him up, and he is a shockingly easy intelligence ‘target’ to manipulate.”

Were Trump an intelligence officer himself, Carle said, “he would be removed and possibly charged with having accepted the clandestine support of a hostile power to the harm of the United States”.

My comment: this may be far worse than the extremist positions that the President-Elect has taken on domestic issues. Those can be undone in 2021.

If Donald Trump had in some alternate universe won the Democratic nomination and spouted out boilerplate left-wing stances on domestic issues, then I would have had to break my usual partisan tendency and vote for the Republican.

I would be perfectly satisfied with Mitt Romney as President.
