Ken Westervelt: Trump should leave office, or be removed
Donald Trump’s party officials are now either jumping ship or being voted out of office in their states. Even former president George H.W. Bush said that basically Trump is an airhead. I am quite sure leaders in other countries, friendly and hostile, know how little the American people think of him.
Our nation is in the most critical mess now of any recent president at a time when we need a strong leader. Trump is destroying our environment, taking away much-needed healthcare coverage, changing tax codes to favor the rich and hurt the middle class, is still under investigation for ties to Russia and making more bad decisions to hurt America. The fact is, he lost the popular vote by 2.9 million and only won in the antiquated Electoral College.
Richard Nixon faced reality and resigned for the good of America . Trump’s ego will not allow that; he will destroy America. A caring American citizen has a TV ad “Needtoimpeach.com”; there are also other impeachment websites. If that’s what it takes, it would be worth us to sign.
