Experts Warn Trump Is Dangerous

We are witnessing shocking history in the making!

• Trump is our first serial rapist president.
• Trump is our first president with worldwide mafia and oligarch business connections.
• Trump is the only president to both encourage and approve of a mob killing his loyal vice president.
• Trump is the only president ever charged with a felony.
• He is the only president convicted of 34 felonies.
• All of Trump’s 88 felony indictments came after grand juries of American citizens listened to the government’s evidence and found that Trump had probably committed the crimes.

All kinds of experts warn against the dangers of another Trump presidency, including:

• Over 18,000 psychiatric and mental health experts
• Over 300 political scientist experts on democracies & dictators, legal scholars, and historians
• 154 historians specializing in the presidency
• Many Trump Cabinet and White House officials
• 111 former Republican national security officials and members of Congress
• 16 Nobel-prize-winning economists
• Scientific American, the premier magazine for scientific research

18,000 Mental Health Experts

In 2017, the World Mental Health Coalition of 100 senior psychiatrists and thousands of mental health professionals put out the book The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump: 27 Psychiatrists and Mental Health Experts Assess a President.  It found:

• Trump shows evidence of being a sociopath or having narcissistic personality disorder, severe character pathology, and/or delusional disorder
• They note Trump is selfish, impulsive, immature, bullying, poor at considering consequences, has no remorse, and has a history of cheating subcontractors, vengeance and cruelty to others, and denying clear facts.
• Trump’s mental illness makes him unable to be a competent president.
• These experts often compare Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler.
• They agreed having Trump as president was a danger to our nation and our well-being.

After psychologist John Gartner posted a petition on Facebook saying we must remove Trump from office because his mental illness makes him incompetent, over 18,000 psychologists, psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals signed it to agree.

There’s plenty of evidence Trump is a sociopath!

Sociopaths are people who don’t care about others at all. 

• They lack empathy.
• They have no guilt.
• They repeatedly lie, deceive, cheat, mistreat, hurt, and manipulate other people for their own benefit.
• They don’t care about the safety of other people and often fail to honor their financial obligations.
• They are also arrogant, rude, irritable, and easy to anger.
• They tend to frequently boast.
• They often react to criticism with rage, contempt, and by attacking and belittling the critic.
• They want revenge for every imagined offense.
• They discard people who are no longer useful.

Serial Rapist Trump Told Us His Modus Operandi

• Sociopath Trump sexually assaulted at least 27 different women.
• Many of these women presented good evidence for their claims.
• Trump described his actual modus operandi in some of these assaults when he said in an interview “Grab them by the pussy.”
• For example, Trump rammed his hand into E. Jean Carroll’s vagina and curled up his fingers, causing her extreme pain.
• Courts ordered Trump to pay E. Jean Carroll a total of $88.8 million for sexually assaulting her and then constantly lying about it and damaging her reputation.
• On Howard Stern’s show, Trump said he “couldn’t care less” if he satisfies the women he sleeps with.
• Trump told New York magazine: “Women, you have to treat’em like shit.”
• The biographer who spent 18 months with Trump said he saw little warmth between Trump and his wife Ivana.
• Trump always seemed more interested in the next sexual conquest than in any of his wives.

Only A Monster would:

• Encourage & approve killing his own loyal Vice President
• Call white supremacist terrorists to try and rescue his failing treasonous coup against our democracy

First, Trump knew very well Biden won the election. 

• Trump’s own campaign officials, advisors, and his Attorney General Bill Barr clearly and repeatedly told Trump his election fraud claims were untrue and absurd.
• Trump hired two different companies to investigate and try to prove election fraud.
• Both of these companies told Trump there was no evidence of fraud.
• After exhaustive investigations, over 60 court cases found there was no widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

Yet Trump still spent months claiming the election was stolen and trying to overthrow our democracy in 7 different ways, including:

• over 30 phone calls or meetings
• replacing officials at the Justice Department
• forcing the Defense Department to sieze voting machines from key counties
• deploying the National Guard to rerun the election
• organizing fake electors in swing states
• pressuring Mike Pence to reject the Electoral College votes (and calling Pence a “pussy” and a “wimp” on the morning of January 6^th for being unwilling)

The House of Representatives January 6 Committee compiled a MASSIVE amount of detailed testimony on this FROM TRUMP’S OWN LOYAL INNER CIRCLE of top Cabinet and White House officials.

The Unhinged White House Fight That Led To Trump’s Desperate Plan

On December 18, 2020, Trump’s conspiracy fanatics like Sydney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Mike Flynn tried to convince staffers with common sense like White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and White House Counsel Pat Cipollone that:

• Venezuela had interfered with our 2020 election.
• Nest brand thermostats on the internet changed votes.
• All the 60 judges across the country who dismissed voter fraud claims were corrupt, even all the ones appointed by Republicans.

It turned into a massive 6-hour fight with screaming and profanity late into the night, including:

• Giuliani calling the Trump lawyers pussies.
• Mike Flynn insulting Trump White House lawyer Eric Herschmann so much, they almost got into a fist fight.

Realizing his coup was failing, immediately at 1:42 am on December 19, 2020, Trump tweeted to summon the terrorist white supremacist groups Proud Boys and Oath Keepers to the January 6^th insurrection: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th.  Be there, will be wild!”

• Both the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers worked with close Trump allies Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.
• Both groups had long wanted to overthrow the government, practiced military tactics on weekends, and had been recruiting former police and military members for their operational skills.
• Previously when Trump refused to denounce the Proud Boys and instead asked them to “stand back and stand by,” their membership tripled.
• The Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers led the first two breaches of the Capitol building on January 6^th.

January 5th

Steve Bannon talked strategy with Trump many, many times leading up to the riot.

• Days before January 6, Steve Bannon told Trump they needed to “kill” the Biden presidency “in the crib.”

On January 5^th, Steve Bannon talked to Trump often.

• After one call with Trump that day, Bannon excitedly told his podcast listeners that on January 6^th, “All hell is going to break loose.”

On the night of January 5th, Trump allies Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, Alex Jones and others were screaming about a new 1776 revolution to take back America.

• Trump opened the doors of the White House to listen to the crowd.
• Trump had been irritable and angry for weeks, but listening to these calls for treason, he became ecstatic and giddy with enthusiasm.

Deliberately Inciting Violence

Trump knew there were plenty of guns and other weapons in the January 6^th crowd.

• Trump was repeatedly warned about armed people in the January 6^th crowd prepared for violence.
• Trump was angry that his crowd looked small because many people wouldn’t enter the area close to him with metal detectors.
• When they told him the Secret Service was denying entry to people who tried to enter with guns, bear spray, knives and brass knuckles, Trump said: “I don’t fucking care that they have weapons. They are not here to hurt me. Take the fucking mags away. Let my people in. They can march to the Capitol from here.”  (mags = magnetometers, metal detectors)

Despite all this, Trump stoked the crowd into a violent frenzy, talking about the need to fight again and again, and telling them to:

• “show strength”
• “fight like hell”

Hundreds of the rioters later blamed Trump for convincing them the election was stolen and calling them to Washington D.C. to help keep him in power.

• Because of Trump, they believed they were trying to save democracy!

The Savage Results On January 6th

The January 6^th riot left 5 people dead and over 140 police officers injured.

• Over 1265 people have been arrested for the riot.
• 462 were charged with assaulting police officers.
• Police suffered rib fractures, burns, and one lost consciousness during the attack. Many suffered concussions.
• The rioters used Tasers, steel rebar, copper pipes, rocks, bats, flag poles, lances, axes, broken table legs, bike racks, projectiles, hammers, knives, pepper spray, bear spray, tomahawks, words, crowbars, and metal fence stakes.
• Molotov cocktails, guns, and rifles were found on the ground, in photos, on people, or kept nearby after the riot but many people left the riot with their weapons undetected.
• Capitol Police Sgt. Aqulino Gonell, beaten by over 40 rioters, required 2 surgeries and suffers from PTSD.
• D.C. police officer Michael Fanone was beaten, sprayed with chemicals, shot by tasers multiple times, and received both a traumatic brain injury and a heart attack during the attack.
• One police officer had two cracked ribs and two shattered spinal discs.
• Another was stabbed with a metal fence stake.
• Several officers were shot again and again with tasers.
• One officer burned with chemicals found showering just reactivated the chemicals so badly he couldn’t sleep.
• Many police officers at the riot have had to quit their jobs due to their long-lasting injuries.
• Many of the police facing the January 6^th riot now have PTSD.
• Many rioters had Q Anon shirts, flags, and signs, MAGA hats, or Trump shirts.
• Many rioters were shouting “Trump sent us!” “Fight for Trump” or “We want Trump!”
• The largest groups of rioters were Q-Anon followers, business owners, people with military or police backgrounds, and white supremacists, all dedicated Trump followers.
• One rioter tried to gouge out a policeman’s eye.
• One rioter was so worked up beating a police officer, he was foaming at the mouth.

At least 5 people died because of the January 6^th riot.

• Ashli Babbit was shot in the shoulder trying to force her way into the Capitol and died that day.
• Capitol policeman Brian Sicknick received chemical burns during the riot, had two strokes nearly 8 hours after the attack, and died the next day.
• Capitol policeman Howard Liebengood worked very long hours for days after the riot, was very sleep deprived, and killed himself 3 days after the riot.
• D.C. policeman Jeffrey Smith was struck on the head during the riot, had constant pain, and became withdrawn and upset, likely due to severe brain trauma. He got sick leave but killed himself 8 days after the riot when the police clinic ordered him back to work.
• In July, 6 months after the Capitol riot, two D.C. police officers who responded to the riot killed themselves.
• However, one of them had other personal problems that may have played a role.

Only a Monster would describe the deadly January 6^th riot the way Trump did:

• “People in that crowd said it was the most beautiful day they’ve ever experienced. There was love in that crowd. There was love and unity. I have never seen such spirit and such passion and such love.”
• “the greatest movement in the history of our Country to Make America Great Again”

Only A Monster would describe the violent January 6^th rioters as:

• full of “love”
• “patriots”
• “political prisoners”
• “hostages”

Even now, Trump promises to pardon those who brutally attacked police during the riot.

Trump Was Happy & Excited, Ignoring Family, Staff, Congressmen & Fox Media Allies Begging Him To Stop The Crowd

As the fighting raged, Trump watched it on TV and refused to call off the crowd for 3 hours, despite all the following desperately begging him to do so:

• Trump’s daughter Ivanka rushing into the room to convince her father
• at least 6 top Trump officials, including Mark Meadows and Pat Cipollone
• House Minority leader Kevin McCarthy and other members of Congress
• Trump’s close Fox News media personality allies

Trump NEVER requested ANY government agency to help stop the riot, including:

• the Dept. of Defense
• the Dept. of Homeland Security
• the National Guard
• the Dept. of Justice

When White House Counsel Pat Cipollone told White House Chief of Staff Meadows rioters had breached the Capitol building, Meadows replied: “He doesn’t want to do anything, Pat.”

Demonically Encouraging The Mob To Attack Mike Pence

• In the middle of the insurrection, Trump tweeted Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what was needed, immediately triggering the rioters to chant “Hang Mike Pence” and build a guillotine for Pence.
• The raging mob came within 40 feet of catching Mike Pence.
• Members of the Proud Boys admitted they fully intended to kill Pence if they caught up with him!

• When the rioters were chanting “Hang Mike Pence,” Trump told people in the White House, “Mike Pence deserves it.”
• White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said about Trump: “He thinks Mike deserves it; he doesn’t think they’re doing anything wrong.”

More Evidence Trump Is A Sociopath

Trump is also a lifelong criminal who:

• constantly cheated the government
• destroyed countless family businesses by refusing to pay them for work done and then tying up their claims in court so long, they couldn’t afford to fight any longer or by declaring bankruptcy, so they ended up getting pennies on the dollar.
• Trump has been sued over 4,000 times.
• But most of Trump’s contracts require arbitration, so the vast majority of his fraud victims couldn’t even sue!

All Trump’s biographers agree Trump had difficulty naming even one real friend.  He would either say he was too busy for friends or he would name business associates he rarely sees.

All Trump’s biographers agree Trump spent little time with his children until they were old enough to become his business partners. 

• Michael Cohen says Trump was often mean and verbally abusive to his children.
• On Howard Stern’s show, Trump agreed that his daughter Ivanka was a “piece of ass.”

Trump said Philippine president Duterte did a “great job” using death squads to kill 12,000 people.

When Putin invaded Ukraine, Trump said “This is genius.”  He claimed Putin declaring a large portion of Ukraine as independent was “wonderful” and said “How smart is that?  And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper.  … We could use that on our southern border.”

Over 100 Experts On Democracy & Dictators

On June 1, 2021, 5 months after the January 6^th insurrection, over 100 leading scholars specializing in democracy, democratic breakdown, and authoritarian dictatorships all signed a public statement of alarm about our democracy. 

• They questioned whether the United States would remain a democracy.

They blamed Republican state legislatures for interfering with democracy:

• seeking to restrict voting rights
• putting in place criminal sentences and fines meaning to intimidate and scare away poll workers and nonpartisan administrators
• giving themselves the right to overturn the results of elections based on unproven allegations if Democrats win more votes

Over 200 Political Scientists, Legal Scholars & Historians

On September 19, 2022, over 200 political scientists, legal scholars and historians released a letter.

They noted our safe, gerrymandered uncompetitive districts let low-turnout extreme primary voters choose the overwhelming majority of Congress.  They blamed this for a dangerous problem:

“extreme elements are overrepresented to the point where one party in our two party system has been taken over by members that reject democracy itself.”

Clearly, they are talking about the Republican party now owned and run by:

• Trump, the leader of the attempted coup treason
• all the Republican politicians supporting Trump
• the 147 treasonous Republican Congressmen who, even with tear gas and blood stains the night of January 6th, voted to throw out election results from states Biden won

Experts on authoritarian strongmen and dictators agree they often use:

• sentimental nostalgia glorifying the traditional past
• blaming minority groups as threats, dehumanizing them and legitimizing discrimination against them
• demonizing critics
• attacking the free press
• hostility to intellectuals and science
• justifying violence
• threatening or jailing opponents
• claims of being a victim
• lies and conspiracy theories
• sentimental visions of a strongman leader to save us
• worship of male authority

Donald Trump uses all of these authoritarian tactics.  Hate, fear, and these tactics are his playbook.

154 Presidential Historians

In a survey, 154 expert presidential historians rated Donald Trump our worst president ever!

• These experts from the American Political Science Association included many who publish research in scholarly journals.
• They rated Biden our 14^th best president ever!

Many Of Trump’s Own Top Cabinet & White House Officials

Those top Trump officials who worked most closely with him during his last presidency see him as dangerous and have publicly warned against another Trump presidency.  These include:

• Vice President Mike Pence
• White House Chief of Staff John Kelly
• Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper
• National Security Adviser John Bolton
• White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney
• White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster
• Secretary of State Mike Pompeo
• Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer
• Pentagon Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley
• Secretary of Defense James Mattis
• Secretary of State Rex Tillerson
• Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao
• Secretary of Health & Human Services Alex Azar
• Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats
• Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos
• White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson
• White House counsel Ty Cobb
• White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham
• Deputy White House Press Secretary Sarah Matthews
• White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin
• Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

Many of Trump’s closest advisors saw his tendencies to go into rages and scream obscenities, stomp out of meetings, pound on tables, or throw food.

Trump’s Attorney General William Barr called Trump “a very petty man” with “a very fragile ego” who would probably cause “chaos” in a second term.  He also said Trump “only cared about one thing: himself,” adding “Country and principal took second place.”

Trump’s Defense Secretary James Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader.”

National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster called Trump an “idiot” and a “dope,” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner.”

Trump’s Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump “a fucking moron.”

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” several times.

Others who have called Trump an idiot include Trump’s:

• Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin
• Chief of Staff Reince Preibus
• Adviser Sam Nunberg.

Trump’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff Katie Walsh said working with Trump is “like trying to figure out what a child wants.”

Trump Adviser Steve Bannon said Trump was “like an 11-year-old child” and that he was “sick of being a wet nurse to a 71-year-old man.”

The Pentagon’s top military general Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley;

• saw Trump obsessed with stolen election conspiracies and screaming at his own top officials.
• was extremely worried about Trump’s deteriorating, nearly manic mental state.
• believed Trump might start a war with China or drop a nuclear bomb.

Because of this, Mark Milley:

• called a secret meeting and made sure everyone understood that no military action could occur without Milley being part of the order.
• called the top military leader of China to make sure China knew there would be no military action against China.

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos spoke with Vice President Mike Pence about the need to remove a dangerous Trump from the presidency through the 25^th Amendment.

Trump close friend and Fox News media talking head Sean Hannity texted White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany admitting both impeachment and removing Trump with the 25^th Amendment were real possibilities.

Defense Secretary Mark T. Esper told CNN he considers Trump “a threat to democracy” and said: “I’m not sure we can survive another four years of Donald Trump.”

White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said about Trump: “The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me … He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life.”

111 Former Republican National Security Officials and Members of Congress

In a letter, 111 former national security officials from Republican administrations and members of Congress declared Trump is “unfit to serve again as president.”  Many who signed served under presidents Ronald Reagan and both father and son Bush presidents.  They described Trump as:

• dangerous
• unusually warm to dictators
• contemptuous of decency, morals, and laws
• betraying our democracy
• inciting a mob to hold onto power after losing an election

These Republican officials declared their support for Kamala Harris, saying they were far more concerned about the dangers of Trump than about any policy concerns they had about Harris.

16 Nobel-Prize-Winning Economists

In a letter, 16 Nobel-Prize-winning economists warned that another Trump presidency would be bad for our economy.

• They say nonpartisan researchers agree Trump’s irresponsible budgets and other plans will worsen inflation.
• They argue Trump’s unpredictably shifting policies threaten the stable international relationships and rule of law that make economies successful.
• They all agreed Biden’s economic policies are vastly superior to Trump’s.

Other economists point out Trump’s plans for tariffs would cost the average American family $1,700 a year.

Scientific American Magazine

The premier magazine covering science research rarely makes recommendations about politics.  In its 179-year history, it has done so only twice, first to endorse Biden against Trump in 2020 and now again, to endorse Kamala Harris over Trump.

It argued Harris “offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience,” while Trump “endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies.”

It said Harris recognizes the climate crisis for the emergency it is and seeks to reduce its “catastrophic storms, fires, and droughts,” while Trump “ignores the climate crisis in favor of more pollution.”

It says Trump “requires that federal officials show personal loyalty to him rather than upholding U.S. laws.”  And describing Trump, it says “He fills positions in federal science and other agencies with unqualified ideologues.  He goads people into hate and division, and he inspires extremists at state and local levels to pass laws that disrupt education and make it harder to earn a living.”

After carefully detailing the records of Trump and Harris on health care, abortion, guns, environment and technology, it concludes “Only one is a vote for reality and integrity. We urge you to vote for Kamala Harris.”  Scientific American describes the 2024 election as a choice between “rationality and respect for all” and “dark fantasies and demagoguery.”
