The news on all channels is that Donald Trump is mismanaging diplomacy in dealing with the increasing threat from the Republic of North Korea, issuing an ultimatum to China, for instance.
Concurrently, the authoritarian President is continuing his attack on the free press with his secretary saying that it doesn't matter if the Trump is truthful or not because he is in charge.
The Republican-controlled Congress is so hell-bent to pay back their donors with un-earned tax cuts that they are blind to halting the President's undermining the rule of law while behaving recklessly. The leadership is engaging in obstruction of justice by failing to address Trump's conflicts and violations in upholding his oath of office.
Trump continues to engage in petty topics that are a distraction from the primary interests of the nation's security both economic and military.
Impeach Donald Trump for democracy's sake. America is losing it.
"Trump's authoritarian streak
Analysis by Stephen Collinson, CNN
Trump threatens media for critical coverage
Washington (CNN)When he looks in the mirror, President Donald Trump sees a strongman.
He vows to rain "fire and fury" on North Korea, admires the world's toughest leaders, calls for television networks to lose their licenses and roasts critics on an Orwellian Twitter feed.
But he's an autocrat in word rather than deed.
Trump says he wants nuclear arsenal in 'tip-top shape,' denies desire to increase stockpile
So far, America's political, judicial, military and media institutions have checked most attempts by the President to stretch his power beyond constitutional norms and to question freedoms embedded in the nation's DNA.
The President's struggle to cement long-lasting political achievements along with efforts by his aides to rein him in had meanwhile tempered fears of some critics when he took office that Trump was a tyrant-in-waiting.
Trump has slipped comfortably into some of the imagery, rhetoric, and affectations exhibited by dictatorial leaders throughout history and in illiberal societies around the world."
