US President Donald Trump is a danger to the world who must
be removed from the White House before things get even worse, German
news magazine Der Spiegel has argued.
“Donald
Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not
possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance
of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it,” Klaus
Brinkbäumer wrote in an editorial published by the magazine on Friday.
“He
doesn't read. He doesn't bother to peruse important files and
intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has
identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are
delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees,” it added.
Last
month, a group of American psychiatrists warned that Trump has a
"dangerous mental illness" and is unfit to lead the country.
Over
thirty mental health experts noted that Trump was “paranoid and
delusional” and that they were responsible for warning Americans about
the “dangers” Trump poses.
“We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump's dangerous mental illness,” they said.
Trump has been on defense for reportedly sharing classified
information with Russian officials and allegedly trying to quash an FBI
investigation into possible collusion between his presidential campaign
and Moscow.
According to a report, Republicans on Capitol Hill are
growing frustrated with Trump’s conduct in office, realizing that his
deepening scandals could cost them re-election.
Many Republicans
have in recent days joined Democrats in calling for a special prosecutor
to take over the investigation, while others want a select
congressional committee to be appointed. Some are even beginning to
speculate about impeachment.
Trump faces accusations that he obstructed justice with his dismissal
of FBI Director James Comey, who reportedly authored a memo that said
the president asked him to drop an inquiry about former national
security adviser Michael Flynn’s alleged ties to Russia.
The Der Spiegel
editorial called Trump a “miserable” person. “He fired the FBI director
simply because he could. James Comey had gotten under his skin with his
investigation into Trump's confidants. Comey had also refused to swear
loyalty and fealty to Trump and to abandon the investigation. He had to
go.”
