Cacophony of fear about Donald Trump unhinged leadership

"...only 46 percent of Americans are confident that Trump can handle an international crisis..."

A cacophony of Twitterzins who are supported by major well known names are questioning Donald Trump's ability to lead.

With all the hours DonaldJTrump (@realdonaldtrump) spends hammering on Twitter, he's certainly witnessed in the immersion of horrific public relations being thrown against him, as he prepares to provide unhinged leadership to the free world.  I've never experienced anything like the negative cacophony in my lifetime. Frankly, I'm afraid of Donald Trump's inability to focus, his emotionally labile outrages, and petty criticisms and the presumptions he makes about "knowing more" than experts (like generals and intelligence officials) without revealing his dubious sources.  

Everyday, it seems like public personalities are voicing the concerns that those of us who are fearful are trying to conceptualize in a way that gets the attention of Republicans, who have the power to fix this mess. It Republicans who are responsible for the Trump political Frankenstein and they have the power to put him back into the proverbial political "lab-ooor-atorry".

Bruce Springsteen is even joining the fearful in the cacophony

A majority of Americans, including Bruce Springsteen doubt Donald Trump can perform essential presidential duties
A majority of Americans don't even believe Trump can handle foreign policy or avoid scandal

Not even a majority of Americans believe that President-elect Donald Trump can handle basic aspects of his presidential duties, according to a Gallup poll released on Monday.

The survey found that only 46 percent of Americans are confident that Trump can handle an international crisis. Similarly, only 47 percent believe Trump will use military force wisely. Finally, only 44 percent of Americans said they think Trump will be able to prevent major scandals during his presidency.

By contrast, when Barack Obama took office in 2009, 73 percent of Americans felt that he would be able to handle an international crisis, 71 percent believed he would use military force wisely, and 74 percent thought he would avoid major scandals. Similarly, when George W. Bush took office in 2001, 71 percent of Americans felt he could handle an international crisis effectively, 78 percent thought he would use military force wisely, and 77 percent thought he could avoid major scandals.

Trump’s two best numbers were in his ability to effectively work with Congress (60 percent) and his ability to effectively manage the economy (59 percent), although the former number is still far below 89 percent for Obama and 74 percent for Bush (there are no survey results for effectively managing the economy).

Perhaps appropriately, these survey results were consistent with comments by Bruce Springsteen in a recent appearance on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN QUESTIONS DONALD TRUMP'S COMPETENCE

I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,” Springsteen said. “It’s as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?”

This isn’t the first recent Gallup poll to bear bad news for The Donald. On Thursday a Gallup survey found that more Americans deemed Barack Obama (22 percent) to be the most admired man in America than Donald Trump (15 percent). While it is not abnormal for sitting presidents to surpass presidents-elect in that category, Obama himself had beaten George W. Bush in 2008 after his election.

Although Springsteen continues to be optimistic about America in anticipation of a fearful Trumpzi administration, I'm personally unconvinced.  Although I hope I'm wrong, in my opinion, America is headed for chaos because Donald Trump is emotionally labile, unpredictable, narcissistic and unable to accept expert direction.

Trump's best friend in Vladimir Putin.  Like Trump's mother Mary Anne likely told him - "watch who your friends are". 

Republicans created "Trumpenstine"

Republicans have created "Trumpenstine"

It's amazingly hypocritical to see how Republicans are pushing back on the presidential candidacy of "Donald Trump the Chump" because he happens to be upstaging their traditional campaign strategies.  Trump is also taking all the political oxygen away  from the traditonal Republican candidates.

In other words, by brutally speaking his mind and self funding his campaign, Donald Trump has turned into  "Trumpenstine" (or, as Mel Brooks would say, "steen").  

Repubicans use incendiary rhetoric whenever it's possible to capture headlines. Moreover, they do so without regard for the consequences. Now, they're somehow "shocked...shocked?" because Donald Trump has ardent followers for his extremist views on immigration, damaging stereotypes about Mexicans and against about innocent people who happen to be Muslims.

Obviously, Republicans must remove Donald Trump from being the 2016, GOP presidential nominee. As Senator Lindsey Graham says, Trump will serve as a wrecking ball for the Republican party if he becomes the party's nominee.  

Meanwhile, the other Republican candidates can't differentiate themselves from Donald Trump's extremism because, frankly, too many in the right wing are accepting his outrageous messages. Unfortunately, Republicans are trapped by their own extremism. They can't deny it because, doing so, will disenfranchise Trumpenstine's followers.  

So what's the solution? It's likely the Republicans would rather protect their slim majority in the US Senate than to win the presidency. In fact, the US government is run by the Senate. Therefore, if Trumpenstine is a "wrecking ball" for the Republican party, he will also loose their important US Senate majority.
Surely, with the line-up of GOP candidates who can't create a cohesive message now trying to take out one another, it seems unlikely they'll coalesce around a single presidential candidate. 

But, with the potential of Trumpenstine at the head of the presidential ticket, the Republicans also put at risk their Senatorial power. As Senator Graham said, the bombastic "wrecking ball" will destroy the entire party.

Of course, Republicans are certainly "reaping what they sow". Yet, now they're pushing back because their Trumpenstine, clearly, isn't about to go back into their political cauldron and evaporate in steam.

It's time for responsible conservative party leaders who re-create the Republican party. Meanwhile, Trumpenstine is branding Republians as the party of fear, just like a monster in a grade B movie of the 1950s, only much more seriously dangerous.
