Thanks, Jim Emerson, for this:
Don't take my word for it. In the comments of today's Washington Post:
4 STAR Marine GENERAL James Mattis, hired by Trump as Secretary of Defense: " [Trump] has no moral compass; a misguided form of nationalism; beyond stupid to felony stupid" and that's when I resigned.
4 STAR Army GENERAL Mark Milley, served as Trump's Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff: "We don't take an oath to an individual, we take an oath to the Constitution. [Trump] is a wannabe dictator."
4 STAR Marine GENERAL John Kelly, hired by Trump to be his personal Chief of Staff: "[Trump] is a deeply dishonest person who has no idea what America stands for. The most flawed person I've ever met."
3 STAR Army LIEUTENANT GENERAL H.R. McMaster, hired by Trump as his National Security Advisor: "[Trump's] failure to condemn white supremacy “gives space to these groups that foment hatred and intolerance.”
Dan Coats, hired by Trump as his Director of National Intelligence: "He doesn't know the difference between the truth and a lie."
STAR Navy Admiral William McCraven, Commander, US Special Operations, Seal Commander who took out Osama bin Laden and coordinated the capture of Sadaam Hussein: Trump's comments "may be the greatest threat to democracy in my lifetime."
4 STAR ARMY GENERAL Barry McCaffrey. He received three Purple Heart medals for injuries sustained during his service in the Vietnam War, two Silver Stars, and two Distinguished Service Crosses—the second-highest United States Army award for valor. He was inducted into United States Army Ranger Hall of Fame at the United States Army Infantry Center : [Trump] "is a serious threat to USA national security."
CIA Director Gina Haspel, Trump's CIA choice: Haspel said Trump's post-election behavior was 'insanity' and he was 'acting out like a 6-year-old with a tantrum."
