Echo opinion letter - Donald Trump has "unstable dictator syndrome"

Unstable tRump politics* (Ugh!)

Echo letter to the editor published in The Idaho Statesman

Dictator Definition: “A dictator is someone who has absolute power, or at least behaves as if they do by bossing others around. In government, a dictator is a ruler who has total control over a country with no checks or balances to prevent abuse of power. A dictator can also be described as someone who acts like that on a smaller scale.”

Executive orders are the rule of the day. Our representatives, elected by us, are dismissed by executive order and House/Senate knuckle under collecting their salaries for doing nothing. There’s $2.7 million for his adoration parade from parks, how much for flyover, other monies diverted? Now new Air Force One, into the billions. Get out your checkbook.

This “very stable genius” brought us to the brink of war. Backed out on previous commitments. Don’t like the deal, make it better. Great blackmailer. Allies did not support his recent trantrum with Iran, they wanted proof. Diminishing trust with the United States and its leadership.

The “unstable genius” needs no expert advice. He’s ensconced his family, “acting” heads of state and staff not cleared by the FBI.

Dictator writing’s on the wall. Vote, vote.

*(unstable, insecure) Trump again referred to himself as a "stable genius" while also touting himself as "great looking" in a tweet Thursday mocking some of the leading Democratic candidates hoping to unseat him.  In the middle of a morning tweet storm

Donald Trump tried to clear up misconceptions about his mental health, he lists the big accomplishments in his life, claiming there’s no way somebody short of genius could have done what he’s done. The narcissist in him shines when he talks about being a “VERY successful businessman” (he declared bankruptcy four times during his business career) and a “top T.V. star.” But, our nation is not a reality show that allows for multiple takes.
