Watergate reporter: Military leaders “have given up on this president”
By Eric Boehlert AUGUST 17, 2017
"It's a dangerous moment in our history," says Carl Bernstein. Meanwhile, more Republican senators pile on Trump with new bouts of criticism.

Famed Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein told CNN there’s a growing consensus within senior levels of the government that Donald Trump is “unfit to be the president of the United States.”

Stressing there is “increasing talk about his emotional and mental stability,” Bernstein warned, “This is extraordinary. It’s a dangerous moment in our history.”

Alluding to the fact that all five branches of the U.S. military felt compelled to counter Trump’s rhetoric this week by issuing statements on social media reaffirm their commitment to tolerance, Bernstein says military leaders “believe that this president traffics in racism” and that “they have no use for what they are seeing.”

“They have given up on this president,” Bernstein added.

1. They damn better

I didn't serve 8 years in the USAF to bow down to a NAZI sympathizer.

Now, somebody fix this crap, before a real powerful enemy does some wicked things to our troops or citizens.

2. Agreed!

Also my Dad fought the damn nazis in WW2 without a f**king permit and with maximum violence!

3. I hope they have a plan

on what they need to do when Trump commands them to do something insanely stupid.
"I was just following orders" is not the right answer.

5. I'm worried about

Duh Fuhrer starting a nuclear war with NK to save his failed presidency.

4. Carl has been singing this song for a while now

The idea that Trump is unfit and people know it.

[gratuitous]

8. And each time he says it again

A few more people hear it, agree with it, and internalize it. I'm glad he's doing it, and getting a platform for it. Too many times we've been right, but haven't driven the point home with enough people to make a difference. We need to say this over and over again.
