Trump fit for office?
This doesn't mince words.
The Observer view on Donald Trump’s unfitness for office
The Observer view on Donald Trump’s unfitness for office
After more than six months in office, and despite full Republican control of Congress, Trump cannot point to a single substantial legislative achievement. The bid to repeal the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, which finally went down in flames in the Senate last week, was the most spectacular and telling of Trump’s failures. His executive orders, such as the racist ban on Muslim travellers and last week’s bigoted attack on transgender people in the military, have mostly run foul of the courts or been pre-emptively ignored by those charged with implementing them.
Trump has instead squandered the political goodwill that traditionally accompanies a presidential honeymoon, shocked and outraged many middle-of-the-road voters who initially gave him the benefit of the doubt, thoroughly alienated Republican party traditionalists, who had tried in vain to swallow their doubts, and undermined the authority of the office of the president. Trump, a supposedly ace chief executive, has now lost a chief of staff, a deputy chief of staff, a national security adviser, a communications director and a press secretary in short order. To lose one or even two of his most senior people might be excused as unfortunate. To lose all five suggests the fault is his.

Not fit by any means for the job. He himself has said it's a harder job then he expected.
While republicans do control congress by party, it's not enough of a majority to push things through as shown last week there are moderate republicans who won't tow party line on crap legislation.

Trump dictated son’s misleading statement on meeting with Russian lawyer
President Trump personally dictated a statement that was issued after revelations that Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 election.

Not that I know of. I don't know of anyone who voted for him which isn't surprising as just about everyone I know is in California along the coast, not exactly land of Trump supporters..lol

Re: Trump fit for office?
They said Trump would never win the Republication nomination. Err he did.
They said Trump would never win the Presidential election. Err he did.
They are now saying he is not fit to be President. Insert whatever instead of Err he just might be

and presumably walk around with your eyes closed and ears covered up the rest of the time.
I'm not sure "they" did you know. It may have been considered unlikely...
You struck me as someone secretly pleased when he won. Are you still secretly pleased?

I doubt Justin will ask for his resignation or cut the US off from trade etc because he and Canadians are not happy he was elected.
Seriously what can or could Canadians do?????

If anyone wrote this as political fiction they'd be laughed at for a lack of realism.
The White House has confirmed Donald Trump played a role in drafting a misleading statement about his son’s meeting with a Russian lawyer.
On Tuesday, the press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, contradicted Trump’s attorney, Jay Sekulow, who said the president had had no involvement.

Trudeau is loving all the "He's not Trump!" publicity. He hadn't even used up all the "I'm not Harper!" inventory.

He's doing a great job.
8 years of Donald and then Ivanka should run for President.
