John Kerry: Trump Should Resign

Source: Mediate

-snip-

Speaking at a CNBC panel at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the former secretary of state was asked what his message to Trump would be if the president were sitting opposite him.

“I can’t play that,” Kerry demurred. “Because he doesn’t take any of this seriously. He doesn’t have an ability to have that kind of conversation.”

“What would your message be?” Kerry’s interviewer persisted.

“Resign,” Kerry replied.

He doesn't take it seriously. He is literally incapable because HE HAS A PERSONALITY DISORDER.

Unfortunately, his Personality Disorder is such that it will take Impeachment and Conviction to remove him. Or maybe an election.

Depends how he FEELS about it.

Trump needs to turn himself in to the authorities and based on his cooperation with the investigation, he may get a lighter sentence.

This is indeed a subject no one should mince words over. The sooner this clown is out of the White House the better it will be for everyone concerned.

I'm beginning to think he won't leave the White House even after he loses the next election.
Looks more and more like he'll be carried out in a box.

Just sayin'

with a genuine love of country would have resigned long ago in tRump's place. He has no core values, no self control, no self awareness, no HONOR. He is one poor excuse for not just a president, but a human being. John Kerry would have made a terrific president. He is respected all over the world. He has honor and dignity, not to mention intelligence. All traits lacking in the orange mistake in the WH.

escalator ride and maybe one rally. Then he could have had is big really big TV show and his money laundering and all the rest of his scams. Now he has put himself and his family in grave difficulties. He may go to jail and spend large amounts of money on lawyers. Even if he gets a pardon he will finish his life in disgrace. His children may end up ruined financially all because he didn't know when to end a stunt. Real billionaires don't need to have a TV show that pays them a few million. He may be near broke now without daddy to bail him out yet again.

He is such a straightforward, intelligent, serious person who was robbed of his chance to lead this country. There are very few people in politics that are as statesmanlike as Mr. Kerry.

What a shame that he doesn't have a bigger role in the Democratic party (not sure he has the desire to run for office again). When Trump is gone, we are really going to need his expertise in foreign policy and his diplomatic skills to start repairing all the damage that Trump has caused between us and our allies.
