Former GOP Sen. Gordon Humphrey (N.H.), a longtime critic of President Trump, said on Wednesday the commander in chief is "sick of mind" and urged New Hampshire's lawmakers to support calls to remove him from office.

In a letter sent to Rep. Ann McLane Kuster (D-N.H.) first reported by local news station WMUR, Humphrey accuses Trump of making a bad situation worse with his recent promise that North Korea would face "fire and fury" if it continued to threaten the U.S. "President Trump's threat to rain down 'fire and fury' on North Korea is like pouring gasoline on a fire," Humphrey wrote. "It's crazy."

Humphrey asks Kuster to support a bill in the House that would establish a test to determine if the president is mentally fit for office.

"Donald Trump is seriously sick. He is dangerous," Humphrey said in the letter. "As a citizen, former U.S. Senator, and twelve-year member of the Armed Services Committee, I urge you to act [at] once.

1. I wonder if this article is going to be in the AM and PM report on how wonderful TRump is?

It would really be funny if someone slipped this story into the folder.

11. Indeed...

However, it won't make any difference. He don't read...

14. "'Sick' means 'way cool'! All the kids are saying it!"

Trump has the sickest mind!

2. you go girl!

right on dude!

3. It's always ex, former, retired etc ones

5. The current Repuke senators & congresspersons are terrified of Trump

He probably has a file on all of them, detailing their crimes & misdemeanors.

17. Yup, that's partially (but not completely) an effect of the teabaggers.

A lot of moderate, civic-minded Republicans either got primaried in the early years of the Teabag Party movement, or else retired to escape the oncoming shitstorm.

4. Well is that number 1???

How many ex GOP senators, or current GOP senators will tell the truth like Gordon Humphrey did? The truth is all we have sometimes..Are there others is the GOP who will tell the obvious truth?..We will see, but I will not hold my breath....k and r ...

6. No sense for consequence

This is his worst and most dangerous character flaw, he has no sense, at all, of consequence. He was never taught to "think before you act", and that actions have consequences. His little mind cannot figure out the devastation that a nuclear war will bring to the World.

Maybe if someone told him that his hotels, and the Trump Tower would be destroyed if he gets us into a nuclear war, I think that would wake him up a little, enough to stop behaving like a baby-bully looking for a fight during recess.

7. I have thought so for some time. There's something not right in his head.

He used to not be this way. Not saying he was ever a great guy, but he wasn't this alt-reality, unfocused, confused, angry man who can't handle details and has no common sense or sense of propriety.

15. tRump has ALWAYS

been crude, rude, low life person. He has NEVER given any consideration to anyone other than himself. He was the LAST peron who should have been placed into the WH. Putin knew it, why didn't the gop? McConnell is still spouting "Well, at least we do not have Hillary in the WH" Why? After this fiasco nobody will strive to take the job. It has been debased by an orange ass who has shit for brains, and his grifting family who are no smarter than he is.

8. If you're too crazy for Gordon Humphrey...

that's insane.

[DinahMoeHum]

9. At least he left office in 1990. . .

. . .so he's not part of the nihilistic branch that has taken over the GOP lock stock and barrel.

And from what I've read, he's also a registered Independent, 'cause he couldn't stomach their shit anymore.

10. Sad: the word ID would tweet tho not about this

Only a former GOP guy is courageous enough to tell the truth.
BTW: ID is my word for ... I still do not ever say he is...,,

[tavernier]

12. They won't.

Heaven forbid they would see beyond Hillary's emails.

[colsohlibgal]

13. Agreed

We do need more current Republicans to call it like it is....why not, remove this orange nutcase and roll with the creepy Mike Pence, a religious nut for sure but no insane clown show.

[LudwigPastorius]

16. Millions may die because...

the Congressional GOP really wants a tax cut.

It's past time for them to grow some balls and remove the lunatic in the Oval Office.

18. Six Trump "Real News" reporters were dispached from the Tower studios to cover this.

On arrival they discovered it wasn't "quick of mind"

20. I remember Gordon Humphrey

an old time GOP

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

23. Not the Gordo I remember

When he beat Tom McIntyre in the 1978 mid-term debacle (we were getting creamed in mid-terms even then), he was pretty far out there. And he pretty much rubber-stamped anything Reagan proposed.
If this guy is calling Trump a wacko, you know Trump is bonkers.

21. watch the film 13 days

It is a dramatization of the Cuban missile crisis. I am assuming it is historically accurate. Very relevant to now. There were hawks on both sides US and Russia that were willing to go into a Nuclear holocaust, but cooler heads prevailed. According to the film that was not easy, there but by the grace of god. I can't even imagine Trump handling a crisis like that, the guy is old, an idiot, and sick in the head. Something is just wrong with that guy.

22. Good movie.
