"We are very divided right now, certainly more than we were when I first ran for office in 2007 and won the presidency in 2008," the former president says.
He suggests that this is, in part, attributable to Mr Trump's willingness to "fan division because it was good for his politics".

For his entire presidency, he has made an enemy out of anyone who dared to tell him what he didn’t want to hear.
Now that includes the American people.

When you confront the reality of a president like Trump, the state of both sets of brakes—internal [constitutional] and external [public resistance]—become hugely important because Donald Trump’s political train runs on the most potent and dangerous fuel of all: a steady diet of fear, greed, loathing, lies, and envy. It’s a toxic mixture that has destroyed democracies before, and can do so again.

Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley were among the senior advisers who convinced the President not to pursue a military strike [on Iran], according to the paper. They cautioned that such an attack could easily balloon into a full-fledged confrontation in his final days as president, the Times reported.

Administration officials with knowledge of the meeting told the paper that after Pompeo and Milley hammered home the threat of the attack mushrooming into a larger conflict, officials departed the meeting thinking that the possibility of a missile attack on Iranian soil was no longer in question.

But officials told the paper that Trump could be continuing to eye plans to attack Iranian allies and assets, such as militias in Iraq.

A series of sackings and appointments - with rumours of more to come - has created a sense of deep uncertainty around the US intelligence and national security community.

"Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!" somewhere where he he isn't a problem to all of us everywhere. ;-)

Iyou can't run for POTUS with a rap sheet.

Actually you can, run at least; elect-ability is a different issue, but likely doesn't apply to King Donald.
