What
has Trump promised a foreign leader, and who is that foreign leader? An
intelligence official was so alarmed by this promise that he or she filed a
formal whistleblower complaint.
"Trump’s
interaction with the foreign leader included a “promise” that was regarded as
so troubling that it prompted an official in the U.S. intelligence community to
file a formal whistleblower complaint with the inspector general for the
intelligence community..."
This
doesn't look like just some anti-Trump "gotcha" event. For an intelligence
official to feel they have to go to this extent to warn the country of what
they obviously see as a threat to our country is pretty serious, and could be
very serious indeed.
It
is not a mystery that Trump has had numerous secret conversations with Putin of
Russia, and that Trump has been doing remarkably damaging things to American
interests, and remarkably helpful things to Russian interests, ever since his
campaign and election. For example:
Internationally:
- Attacking and weakening America's relationships with America's allies around the world - withdrawing from NAFTA and the TPP, attacking NATO, attacking the European Union by supporting English extremists Brexit, pulled out of the Iran nuclear accord and ceding leadership in the world on disarmament
- Destroying America's reputation of being the nation of hope and opportunity for refugees seeking asylum
- Destroying America's moral leadership in the world by leading cruel attacks and treating refugees heartlessly
- Demanding that Russia be re-invited to the G7 after all the nations had driven Russia out after Russia attacked Crimea
Domestically:
- Threatening to question the validity of the 2016 election (if he would have lost) And already threatening to question the validity of the 2020 election if he loses.
- Weakening each and every government department, from the State Department, to the Department of Energy, to the Environmental Protection Agency, to all but the Defense Department.
- Getting rid of science experts in agriculture, environment, nuclear cleanup and safety, etc. etc. (He hates experts because they actually know things)
- Overtly and proudly declaring his white supremacy and inflaming racial divides in the country as an expression of his beliefs and as a campaign tactic to arouse his base
- "Joking" that he will be president for three or more terms.So, an intelligence official was so alarmed by the promise that Trump made to a foreign government, Russia is the obvious most likely, but it could be North Korea, Israel??Our president is a threat to American security. He is either a ridiculously bumbling fool or under the control of a hostile foreign power (or both).
