Corker: Trump hasn't demonstrated the stability or competence to be successful


Recommended Posts

Corker is calling out Trump for what has been, when Trump initially announced his candidacy at Trump Tower I thought this is cool to see a successful businessman run for office, I even posted a pic of myself along with my 10 pointer wearing a MAGA hat here, and then I saw the wheels come off first with McCain and then with a myriad of other crude and narcissistic behaviors, Jeb Bush was 100% correct when he that Trump would be a chaos president.

Even though I didn't vote for Trump because of the behavioral concerns I had regarding his temperament to be POTUS, I have still wished him success because I believe a successful country is good for not only me but for everyone. 
So where do we go from here?

Corker: Trump hasn't demonstrated the stability or competence to be successful

(CNN)Sen. Bob Corker slammed President Donald Trump's handling of the racially motivated protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, charging that the President "has not demonstrated he understands the character of this nation."

The Tennessee Republican told reporters in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on Thursday that he thinks there must be "radical changes" within the White House.

"The President has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful," Corker said, according to a video posted by local news website Nooga.com.

"He has not demonstrated that he understands what has made this nation great and what it is today, and he's got to demonstrate the characteristics of a president who understands that," Corker added.

Corker is the latest Republican senator to criticize Trump's handling of the Charlottesville protests. Trump attacked two other Republican senators — Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona — on Twitter on Thursday morning over their criticisms of him.

Corker has maintained a collegial relationship with Trump and his administration, and he has spoken regularly with both the President and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

At the same time, he spearheaded the Russia sanctions legislation Trump reluctantly signed into law earlier this month, and in May, he said the White House was in a "downward spiral."

Corker on Thursday declined to detail what he meant by "radical changes" and said he did not want to discuss specific officials in the White House.

"There just needs to be a different approach," he said.

But he took aim at Trump for his Tuesday comments that played to the extremist wing of his political base and sparked condemnation from Republican lawmakers as well as business leaders and others.

"Helping inspire divisions because it generates support from your political base is not a formula for causing our nation to advance, our nation to overcome the many issues we have to deal with right now," Corker said.

I haven't been paying any attention at all to this stuff for months but lately people have been bringing it up in conversation.

It's reached critical mass if I'm hearing stuff from other people before I see or read something about it. 

My barometer is reading high pressure.

High pressure means good weather, low pressure means bad weather. :bc:

All based on your perspective I suppose.

In weather not really but I guess barometers can measure pressure in more than just weather. My bad on the assumption. :bc:

In my view good weather means political turmoil. Chaos in DC is a wonderful thing. :bc:
