Ex-RNC chairman blasts Trump: 'Not fit to lead this nation'

[left-of-center2012]

Former Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Marc Racicot slammed former President Trump over his comments on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, writing that the ex-commander in chief is “not fit to lead this nation.” In an article written for the Independent Record on Wednesday, Racicot analyzed Trump’s commentary on the conflict in Ukraine, determining that the ex-president is not fit to lead the U.S., especially during a moment of crisis.

He said the “essential qualities of leadership and human character” are decency, honesty, humility, honor and faithfulness."
“Donald Trump does not possess those essential qualities of character that leave him fit to lead this nation, most especially in a time of crisis,” Racicot wrote.

The former RNC chair, who led the committee from 2001 to 2003, pointed to Trump’s comments on the Russian invasion of Ukraine in making his argument that the ex-president is not fit to serve. Trump previously called Russian President Vladimir Putin “smart” and “savvy” before changing his tone and describing him as a “ruthless thug.”

Racicot on Wednesday wrote that Trump’s comments on the situation in Ukraine “were laced with reckless propositions, cruelty and improprieties which continue to poison and fray the political life and social fabric of the nation.” “The vicious actions of the Russian president have been universally condemned by decent people everywhere. But, not by Donald Trump,” Racicot added.

11. As others have said...

Ukraine? Ukraine is what lead to that conclusion?

Not the racism, sexism, and naked corruption that marked Trump's candidacy and whole term in office? Not the 2 impeachments? Not the almost 1million American Lives lost since 2020 to a virus that could have been contained (as it was in less wealthy nations) but was not because Trump failed to act or acted corruptly? It's Trump's response to comments over Ukraine?

It wasn't the 30 people that Ted Bundy murdered or that he terrorized the nation for several years that makes him a heinous person. He left the GODAMNED CAP OFF THE TOOTHPASTE one too many goddamned times!!
