Former CIA director John Brennan says he believes the US is headed down a dangerous path under President Donald Trump.

As another unprecedented week of tumult came to an end Friday, Brennan delivered a brutal assessment of Trump, calling him "unstable, inept, inexperienced, and also unethical" in an interview with MSNBC.

It's hard to argue with this assessment. Unfortunately.

There is something different about this week’s spasm of sudden policy lurches, graceless personal insults, oozing scandal news, and ceaseless West Wing knife fights.

It is the starkest example to date of President Donald Trump’s executive style looking untenable not merely from the outside — from the perspective of establishment politicians and media analysts — but from the inside, too.

Administration officials and outsiders with windows into decision-making describe a growing sense of despair within Trump’s ranks, driven by the mounting realization that the president’s brand of politics guided by intuition and improvisation is incompatible with a competently functioning executive branch.

Most alarming, by these lights, is mounting evidence that Trump lacks an attribute possessed by most previous presidents and certainly by all the most successful ones: a capacity for self-critique and self-correction.

And still, there are people who defend him and think he is doing a great job.

We are hopefully headed for the point where this does not include enough Republicans in Congress to prevent impeachment. The trade wars he is advocating will cost a lot of big people billions and billions. that may finally be enough to convince about everyone he has to go.

President Pence will be awful, worse than trump in some ways, but he probably won't blow up the world economy, or blow up the world.

TRUMP DECLARES “TRADE WARS ARE GOOD,” IMMEDIATELY GETS BRUTAL AWAKENING
World leaders, corporate America, and members of his own administration have basically told the president to get bent.

Over the past 13 months, Trump’s non-crazy advisers have reportedly attempted to hammer this idea into his head. Those tutorials were officially declared a failure on Thursday, however, when the president surprised nearly all of the people who work for him by declaring his intent to impose tariffs of 25 percent on steel and 10 percent on aluminum. Now, in the wake of Trump’s impromptu announcement—one that was supported internally by only Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, and adviser Peter “Free trade causes infertility” Navarro— world leaders have taken the opportunity to let the president know exactly what they think of his plan and—spoiler alert—they do not think trade wars are “good.”

“Holder protected President Obama. Totally protected him,” Trump told the Times in December. “And I have great respect for that.”

“Did you protect President Obama?” Maher asked Holder on Friday.

The former attorney general drew applause from the studio audience when he quipped: “The difference between me and Jeff Sessions is, I had a president I did not have to protect.”

In the closed-door remarks, a recording of which was obtained by CNN, Trump also praised China's President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn't mind making such a maneuver himself.

"He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot some day."

The remarks, delivered inside the ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago estate during a lunch and fundraiser, were upbeat, lengthy, and peppered with jokes and laughter. But Trump's words reflected his deeply felt resentment that his actions during the 2016 campaign remain under scrutiny while those of his former rival, Hillary Clinton, do not.

You agree with this, @Whell? You defend him on virtually everything he says...
