Letter: Can the US survive two more years of President Trump?

Can US survive two more
years of this president?

Eugene Robinson’s April 25 oped “Why Democrats must move fearlessly toward impeachment” nailed it.

Can the U.S. survive two more years of this dangerous, unstable, fear-mongering president?

1) Trump controls the nuclear codes and could start World War III;
2) Trump prefers personal relationships with Russian and North Korean dictators versus reliable, traditional alliances, such as NATO;
3) Trump’s tax cuts are exacerbating the U.S. wealth gap;
4) Instead of “Medicare for All,” Trump is still working on eliminating Obamacare; plus
5) Trump is stacking the courts, is reversing environmental protections, is fostering gun violence, is worsening climate change by encouraging use of fossil fuels, has told more than 10,000 lies (per the Washington Post), has allegations of obstruction of justice (would Obama have been impeached with similar charges?), etc.

Remember, Nixon resigned after Republicans finally turned against him (and Trump is much worse than Nixon was).
