Trump is so stupid, venal and clueless that he constitutes a real and present danger to national security, international peace accords and the cognitive culture due to the access he’s been given to every level of power, information and control:

Journalist Kurt Eichenwald wrote, “I never thought there was anything left that Trump could do that could shock me. But THIS? He took nuclear weapons and signals intel documents to his goddamn golf resort? Ok, I will finally say it. Lock him up.”

And from today’s Guardian:

…Suspected presence of such files could explain why US attorney general took step of ordering FBI agents into Trump homeTrump was particularly fixated on the US nuclear arsenal while he was in the White House, and boasted about being privy to highly secret information.

In the summer of 2017 he told US military leaders he wanted an arsenal comparable to its cold war peak, which would have involved a ten-fold increase, a demand that reportedly led the then secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, describe him as a “fucking moron”. Trump publicly threatened to obliterate both North Korea and Afghanistan.
