Administration trying to undermine our values
Trump loyalists bemoan the lack of loyalty within the White House. Sad!
Playing our president's favorite blame game, Republican whiners and Trump surrogates complain there are enemies and leakers embedded in the White House who are shining a light on the ineptitude and toxicity within which advisers, aides, staff and the cabinet are operating.
With a White House filled with inexperienced and incompetent loyalists unable to control security within their own administration, how can we rely on the Trump administration's handling of the safety and security of our country?
In his first days in the White House, the president giddily handed over classified information to his Russian visitors, and his National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was revealed to be a liar and an opportunistic threat to our nation's security.
Infighting permeates the Trump administration. They don't trust each other within the White House, and Trump chooses to trust and accept the word of his buddies in Saudi Arabia and Russia rather than the intelligence of the U.S. agencies tasked with keeping our nation protected and secure.
Our FBI and special counsel have found that many of Trump's best people and their Russian associates have been working together for years to enrich themselves and to advance the interests of oligarchs and despots. Our national security doesn't concern these self-serving criminals.
Let us give thanks to our intelligence community, judiciary and our free press for helping to keep our country safe from those who attempt to undermine our values and attack our democracy. And maybe we should be thankful for those disloyal White House leakers, too.
