Dave Trott: [The Republicans] Should Have Never Picked Trump!

Former Republican lawmaker speaks out against Trump.

Former Republican congressman who quit in 2018 speaks out.

Dave Trott said that the Republican Party is sliding into oblivion. He cites the victory of Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) and the mass exodus of Republicans leaving Congress in 2020. His 11th Congressional District was a Republican stronghold with a PVI of +5. He represented Metro Detroit's suburbs and thought Republicans had a lock on the region.

They thought wrong. He chose to not seek reelection and made the Republicans scramble for a candidate. The candidate lost and it was a brutal sting that helped Democrats retake the House of Representatives.

Now as Donald J. Trump faces a test of his presidency now that the House of Representatives have formally impeached him, Trott decides to speak out.

I'm going to paraphrase the remarks. If I was Trott and had a choice words for Trump I would say:

"You got what's coming to you!"

In an interview with the junk food media, Trott remarked on the controversy between Christianity Today and Trump. The magazine founded by Billy Graham called for Trump to be removed from office because of his actions as a human being and as a leader. Graham's son Franklin slammed the editorial and fired the editor out the cannon.

Trott sat back and watched the controversy unfold.

"Mr. Trump is psychologically, morally, intellectually, and emotionally unfit for office."

Trott wrote his letter in response to a November article titled, "Top Military Officers Unload on Trump," in which The Atlantic's Mark Bowden interviewed current and former military officers and Pentagon personnel, including several officers of the highest-rank.

"In 20 years of writing about the military, I have never heard officers in high positions express such alarm about a president," Bowden noted.

"Frightening. That is the only word to describe Mark Bowden's article," Trott wrote Tuesday. "President Trump's inability or unwillingness to follow normal decision-making protocols has created chaos in our foreign policy and put our country at risk."

He added, "The article also helped me with respect to the 2020 election. I had been flummoxed. I will now have to consider voting for a Democrat: High unemployment, a stagnating economy, and massive debt for a few years are better than alienating the rest of our allies, getting into a nuclear war with Iran, or allowing 10,000 Islamist soldiers to be set free in Syria."

Trott concludes, "Trump is psychologically, morally, intellectually, and emotionally unfit for office. We can only hope Congress impeaches and removes him so we have a choice between two adults in 2020."

Trott said that he's not too keen on the Democratic presidential nominees but says he's taking a liking to Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City.

Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), Rep. Rodney Rooney (R-FL) and Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) have all announced they're resigning from Congress.

They have openly criticized Trump while also supporting his agenda. Matter of fact, they support not impeaching the "motherfucker" to quote Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).

Tlaib, Rep. Justin Amash (I-MI) and Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) were in the crosshairs of Trump this year and have voted to impeach.
