As we mark one year since Donald Trump was elected, the nation is reeling from the loss of 26 people killed at a Texas church. These tragic their deaths come almost exactly a week after a suspected terrorist attack in New York that killed eight and about a month after the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history in Las Vegas killed 58.
In
the White House, the President is being investigated for possible
Russian ties, two of his former campaign aides are under indictment and
he seems more interested in using Twitter to distract voters with talk of “crooked Hillary” than clarifying the situation. Meanwhile, in Virginia a racially tinged gubernatorial race features a Trump-backed Republican candidate running on a platform that includes preserving his state’s Confederate heritage.
And perhaps the worst part is, we knew this was going to happen.
Or at least, we should have known. As a native New Yorker, I have
watched Donald Trump’s star rise and fall over the past 30 years. Over
my long career as both an advocate and politician, I have spoken with,
argued against, and counseled the last four U.S. presidents. I have, to
varying degrees, marched, fought and celebrated with the Bush’s,
Clintons and Obamas. And the conclusion I have come to is that Donald
Trump’s temperament, intellect and emotional health make him wholly
unqualified to serve as President of the United States of America.
