There is a way to punish President Trump for his ignorant, racist words without resorting to impeachment. He should be censured by Congress.
On Dec. 28, Army Pvt. Emmanuel Mensah rushed twice into a burning building in the Bronx and rescued four people. On his third trip in, he died. Mensah was from Ghana, one of President Trump’s “shithole countries.”
Trump’s comment was racist: He was referring only to countries with dark-skinned people. That makes the Fox News blowhards who endorse it racists, too.
It
was stupid: We need the help of those nations to fight terrorism and
pursue other national interests. Trump just did another huge favor for
China, which is already moving aggressively in Africa.
And
it was un-American: Immigrants from dysfunctional countries, including
those like Trump’s grandfather, who came from impoverished Germany in
1886, built the United States. You can look it up.
Another
thing to research: Article 133 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
All senior U.S. military personnel—including women— are subject to a
court martial for “conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.” Such
conduct includes dishonest, indecent, cruel and dishonorable acts.
Article 133 charges require no proof of law-breaking. They can be
brought for merely “indecorous” behavior, which means acting like an
asinine ignoramus.
