What's best for Donald Trump is not what's best for America.

John Bolton talked about it in his book. His belief was that Trump could not distinguish between what was best for himself from what was best for our country?

After the Senate, both Democrats and Republicans, voted for sanctions on Russia for interfering in our elections, Donald Trump was negotiating with the Russians to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. Obviously the two acts are in conflict.

But Trump did it over and over. He made a deal with Erdogan to withdraw Americans from part of Syria so the Turkey military could invade and drive out the Kurds that had put their lives on the line for our country. That didn't matter. Trump was looking at what was best for him. It's a dangerous and reckless position to assume.

The same with North Korea. He wanted a deal with Kim Jung Un, for whatever reason? Perhaps it had something to do with his deals with China? Trump agreed to cease military maneuvers with the South Korean military and got nothing in return.

It was his attempt to get the Ukrainians to investigate Clinton and Biden for his political benefit that got him impeached. He was making under-handed deals with the Saudis at the same time, not for the benefit of America, but for the benefit of Donald Trump.

If there was ever a President that needed to be removed, it is this one.

He doesn't give a shit about your or me, or the troops, or the flag, or the Bible, or anything that the republicans or we care about. We're all expendable to him. And for that he must go.
