Current Events > Watergate reporter Bernstein: '' More Republicans think Trump unfit''

(+) Yeah! (+)

Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein said Sunday that Republicans are coming to a "much greater consensus" that President Trump is unfit to be president following the resignation of Defense Secretary James Mattis.

Bernstein, appearing on CNN's "Reliable Sources," said there is concern that Trump is "unfit on psychological grounds" as well as unfit "because of his contempt for the law" and because of his "conduct of foreign policy."

What the Mattis letter has done in a monumental way is to push Republicans into making some real judgments. Theyre talking to each other, there is coming to be a much greater consensus that he is unfit to be the President of the United States," Bernstein said.

Mattis resigned last week from his position as secretary of Defense following Trump's decision to remove U.S. troops from Syria. Mattis wrote in his resignation letter that Trump deserves "a Secretary of Defense whose views are better aligned with yours."

He also expressed concern over Trump's views on traditional U.S. alliances.

"While the US remains the indispensable nation in the free world, we cannot protect our interests or serve that role effectively without maintaining strong alliances and showing respect to those allies," Mattis wrote in the letter.

"What the Mattis letter has done in a monumental way is to push Republicans into making some real judgments. Theyre talking to each other, there is coming to be a much greater consensus that he is unfit to be the President of the United States, @carlbernstein says of Trump.

Mere concern though.

Trump will probably get a third term if it was allowed. Republicans will take whatever they can.

I love to watch repubs squirm over this tbh.

This is what establishment types say when you send troops home without even replacing them with mercenaries.

Everyone with half a brain has known he's unfit for a while

They can say whatever they want, as soon as Trump's base starts showing that they're the bulk of republican supporters they'll quickly shut up or be on the chopping block in 2020, just not dissing Trump in public isn't enough, they have to prove their loyalty for realisies
