GOP National Security Officials SlamTrump

Adding to what has been a very bad week for sociopath and demagogic liar Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump, a group of 73 Republican former national security officials will publish a full page ad in tomorrow's Wall Street Journal denouncing Trump as "corrupt," and "unfit to serve as President."  They will also announce their support for the election of former VP Joe Biden.

Several in the group, such as former national security director Gen. Michael Hayden, have spoken out frequently about the threat Trump poses to our national security. The signatories have served in every Republican administration since Reagan's, and the placement of the ad in the conservative, "Bible of business" Wall Street Journal is going to get noticed:

"Their full-throated condemnation of Trump and backing of Biden will come three days before Trump’s nominating convention opens on Monday and underscores how the Republican president has alienated some members of his own party, especially among intelligence and foreign policy veterans.

'Trump has demonstrated that he lacks the character and competence to lead this nation and has engaged in corrupt behavior that renders him unfit to serve as president,' the group plans to declare in a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal on Friday. [snip]

Bob Tuttle, who was director of personnel under Reagan and ambassador to the UK under George W. Bush, is a member of the national security group and said Trump’s handling of the coronavirus crisis had been 'abominable.'

'He’s a malignant narcissist. He’s a liar. He’s a despicable human being and the worst president in American history - it’s not even close,' Tuttle told Reuters.

Another group member, James Glassman, an undersecretary of state in the George W. Bush administration, said Trump had created 'global chaos.'

'Lack of leadership has led to the deaths of 170,000 Americans,' Glassman said. 'There’s no excuse in the country with the best health scientists in the world.'” (our emphasis)

If nothing else, this should generate an ALL CAPS meltdown from the malignant narcissist tomorrow morning as he consumes his first Big Mac of the day.
