Trump opinion from Idaho - "And the enemy is us: DJT?"

The wall and Trump- the enemy from within

Opinion echo published in the Idaho State Journal newspaper

When are Republicans going to come to the realization that the biggest threat to our national security is not, as Donald Trump states, from Mexico and Central America but from the White House occupant himself. That’s where the real national emergency lies! Building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border is primarily rooted in Trump’s extreme racial bias — NOTHING MORE!

Border security should be updated, but a wall (as in the “Berlin Wall?”) is not the answer. There are high-tech solutions, just as effective if not more so, that could be implemented at a much lower cost. The $5 billion-plus is just the tip of the iceberg and could be better spent elsewhere.

Since Trump couldn’t get what he wanted by way of his temper tantrums, he was “PROUD” to shut down the government, trample on 800,000 federal workers, plus millions more and use them as pawns and sacrifice them and their families, and threatens to do it again. (Like a spoiled child!)


Meanwhile, other than the threats posed by the White House occupant, the foreign threats to our national security, China and Russia, continue to gain influence throughout the rest of the world because of the void created by Trump’s ludicrous and cockamamie decisions and policies.

Senators and representatives took an oath of office to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Many are not living up to the oath. What we now have in the White House is a domestic enemy of democracy and the country! The Republicans have forsaken their oath and the Constitution and pledged their loyalty to Trump, regardless of whatever he says, whatever his actions.

Too many activities of a very serious nature have occurred relating to Trump with some of those around him even being indicted (obstruction of justice, witness tampering and lying to Congress and more) to such an extent that it can not be just a coincidence.

And Trump, who is in flagrant violation of the emolument clause in the Constitution, claims to know nothing about any of this? How naïve and gullible can people be to believe this? He is a total disgrace to this country and for everything it has stood for for 200-plus years.

This nation is in serious trouble, and it will only get worse the longer Trump remains in office! When are the Republicans going to wake up and start doing what is right for our country instead of continuing to support the absolutely worst president to ever occupy the White House?
