A Nation Cannot be Led by a President who Aids and Comforts Enemies

From an article titled “Glee in Russia Over Trump’s Foreign Policy Largess”, NYT, 12/12/2018:
“Trump is God’s gift that keeps on giving,” said Vladimir Frolov, a Russian columnist and foreign affairs analyst. “Trump implements Russia’s negative agenda by default, undermining the U.S.–led world order, U.S. alliances, U.S. credibility as a partner and an ally. All of this on his own. Russia can just relax and watch and root for Trump, which Putin does at every TV appearance.” Frolov continued “In Trump we trust.”

Americans, wake up and recognize this fulfills the founder’s definition of “aid and comfort enemies.” There’s tremendous resistance to facing this fact. It doesn’t take Mueller any more. It doesn’t matter if Trump is blackmailed, or just loves Putin. Republicans have more character. If Trump were Democrat, this would be the final straw. Republicans would demand impeachment.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about border walls, right-wing judges, global warming. Those are Republican views, not treason. Treason is the thing the founders knew should take down a king. The founders weren’t perfect, all-knowing. They didn’t even expect the nation to last many generations. But one thing they were certain of, that they agreed on, was that a President who sided with enemies would destroy it.

There’s so much misinformation about constitutional facts. The Electoral College wasn’t built to “insulate” the country from it’s own bad choices, it sidestepped a parliamentary setup. The second amendment was a sop to Geo. Washington for militias who arrived unarmed. Of course treason isn’t just taking up arms; the founders knew policy was just as potent. We can imagine the colonies defeated England on the battlefield; they knew it was French money and support that carried the day.

It doesn’t matter whether mistaking a friend for a foe, or a foe for friend, is due to confusion, greed, or dull wits. The President has ultimate power, and this can’t continue.
