The trumpet man's recent act of revoking the national security clearance of former CIA director John Brenan should send the message to the people of the United States this latest decision confirms the autocratic mission of Donald Trump and his failure to accept the principals of democratic governing. His threat to revoke the national security clearance of others just because, like Brenan they speak out against Trump's policies and personal attacks, clearly demonstrates Trump's authoritarian attempt to rule.
It reveals why Trump is so in bed with Putin and why he allowed his campaign to collude with Russia for their help during the 2016 Presidential election. Autocratic behavior during the campaign when he asked Russia to hack into an American's email was a dramatic example. And PolitiDose was the first to condemn that traitorous act soon after Trump made that request of Russia.
And after the jury received their charges in the Paul Manafort trial, Trump was at it again obstructing the law by calling the trial "fake" and saying Manafort was being used. Autocrats do not like jury trials that produce facts and cuts through the fake news being spread by Trump for the sake of trying to discredit the investigation. In the mean time, special prosecutor Mueller goes about his responsibility quietly will dignity and will not allow himself to stoop to the bottom of the pit where Trump dwells.
John Brenan, having served his country well said he would not be silenced by Trump's actions and would continue to speak out. Other members of the intelligence community who have spoken out said they would continue to do so also. The sickness in the White House will not put a damper on the American spirit or America the beautiful and those who have served their country well and with honor.
