The US constitution should make it possible to remove a president who\u2019s not fit for office. But we\u2019re going to need another way out<\/p>\n
For the past few months, I have been waging a cold war with a neighbour who constantly puts out their rubbish on the wrong day. And by \u201ccold war\u201d I mean complaining incessantly to my longsuffering wife while the neighbour goes about their business blissfully unaware that we are mortal enemies. But enough is enough. Last week I decided to end this situation via a strongly worded letter. \u201cTuesday will be Explosions Day in your house, neighbour!\u201d I wrote. \u201cThere will be nothing like it!!! Put out your Fuckin\u2019 Rubbish properly, you crazy bastards, or you\u2019ll be living in Hell \u2013 JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.\u201d<\/p>\n
I am sorry to drag Allah into this obviously imaginary exchange, but I\u2019m just channelling the US president. I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve already seen Donald Trump\u2019s profanity-laden<\/a> Easter Sunday warning to Iran, where he threatened to carry out the mass bombing of civilian infrastructure \u2013 but if you haven\u2019t, then go read it and weep. The days where Trump\u2019s outbursts were amusing (remember \u201ccovfefe<\/a>\u201d?) are long gone. There is nothing funny about endless stream-of-consciousness screeds from a seemingly unwell man who is not just destroying the US, but dragging the whole world down with it. If a civilian acted like the president routinely does, they\u2019d find themselves fired or institutionalised very quickly.<\/p>\n Continue reading…<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The US constitution should make it possible to remove a president who\u2019s not fit for office.
