LETTER TO THE EDITOR:

There are consequences for incompetence in the Oval Office

Now, we are faced with some of the real dangers of having an incompetent person in the White House.

First we saw a man who was fine with making a mockery of the process of passing background investigations to qualify for access to state secrets. Then, we saw that same president release state secrets to the Russians with his own mouth, in the White House itself. Now, we have that president providing blanket authority for declassification of state secrets to his attorney general. To what ends will the AG use this authority?

First, we had a man who made a mockery of negotiations with North Korea. Now we have that same president turning over responsibility for making war to his secretaries of defense and state. Are we in for a third or fourth Middle East war, this time against Iran, and this time with no input from the Senate and House?

Take a close look at President Donald Trump, who is beset on all sides with threats of criminal investigations and impeachment. Are you really that certain of his stability?
