Democratic Senators also confirmed these right-wing judges.
Even those who worked for Trump consider him unfit to be president.
Mike Pence “The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution... Anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be president of the United States.”
His first secretary of defense, James Mattis “Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people – does not even pretend to try. Instead he tries to divide us.”
His second secretary of defense, Mark Esper: “I think he’s unfit for office. … He puts himself before country. His actions are all about him and not about the country. And then, of course, I believe he has integrity and character issues as well.”
His Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, retired Gen. Mark Milley, seemed to invoke Trump: “We don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution and we take an oath to the idea that is America – and we’re willing to die to protect it.”
His first secretary of state, Rex Tillerson: “(Trump’s) understanding of global events, his understanding of global history, his understanding of US history was really limited. It’s really hard to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t even understand the concept for why we’re talking about this.”
His second national security adviser, HR McMaster: “We saw the absence of leadership, really anti-leadership, & what that can do to our country.”
His second chief of staff, John Kelly: “A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution, and the rule of law. There is nothing more that can be said. God help us."
One of his many former communications directors, Anthony Scaramucci: “He is the domestic terrorist of the 21st century.”
His first secretary of the Navy, Richard Spencer: “…the president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices.”
His first homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert: “The President undermined American democracy baselessly for months. As a result, he’s culpable for this siege, and an utter disgrace.”
His final chief of staff’s aide, Cassidy Hutchinson: “I think that Donald Trump is the most grave threat we will face to our democracy in our lifetime, and potentially in American history.”
Trump is unfit to be president. If his first four years were bad, a second four will be worse.”- John Bolton
