Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is sick and tired of people trying to downplay what a serious threat Donald Trump is to national security, and he made that clear during an appearance on CNN.
Speaking with CNN Host Anderson Cooper, Gallego explained, “This is a man, again, that only cares about himself. First, he doesn’t like commitment to other countries that are based on alliances, based on trust, because this man has no trust in anybody else, and he would rather just break whatever he can to get what he wants. And if we pay in the process, we as Americans, he doesn’t care, right? This is the danger. Now he’s a problem. Let’s be clear. The reason he’s there is because we have cowardly republicans in the Senate, in the House that are not standing up to this man.”
“Well, it seems like European leaders’ strategy so far has been to basically try to de-escalate, reason with the president, find some kind of an off-ramp,” Cooper said. “Do you think there is an off-ramp?”
“No,” Gallego replied. “And I’ve been very clear. He is a madman. He is insane. He’s only thinking about himself.”
“You really think he’s insane?” Cooper asked.
“Yes!” Gallego boomed. “I’m sorry, where are we at this moment where we don’t understand what’s happening in this country? The man is threatening war against a NATO ally. We all think this is rational, right? Let’s accept what’s happening here. He is not rational right now. He is destroying our world reputation or potentially our economic opportunity or economic might and power around the world because he is being petty.”
“None of this is rational,” the senator added. “Everyone needs to stop pretending this is rational.”
There is nothing remotely rational about Donald Trump. He has clearly lost what was left of his already diseased mind, and the time has come to seriously discuss invoking the 25th Amendment and removing him from office. The longer we delay, the worse things will get.
