Trump biographer calls it: 'Impeach' this man 'quickly'

On Monday, following news that President Donald Trump is considering a nuclear attack against Iran, one of his biographers urged Republicans to “impeach and remove” him “quickly.” Seth Abramson, author of three bestselling books on Trump, took to social media to warn that the president is a danger to the entire world.

“This just dropped,” said Abramson over an article on Trump’s interest in using nuclear weapons to end his spiraling war. “I wish we lived in a world in which Republicans — yes Republicans — were capable of actually coming around and understanding they need to impeach and remove this man quickly to save the planet. I mean all of us. Their families, my family, their friends, my friends.”

Abramson continued, "It seems increasingly likely that one day Americans are going to awaken to a mushroom cloud in the Middle East and the beginnings of a World War without a single politician in D.C. having taken a single meaningful step to remove an unambiguously psychopathic president from power."

He isn’t the only person who has spent a great deal of time considering Trump to warn of the danger of the president’s nuclear designs. According to Miles Taylor, who served as Deputy Chief of Staff in the Department of Homeland Security during Trump’s first term, he “watched Donald Trump talk about nuclear weapons like they were presidential toys,” and “he may be closer to playing with them than you think.” Taylor asserts that when Trump butted heads with North Korea in 2017, Defense Secretary James Mattis began preparing DHS officials for nuclear war, and “for the first time in the Department of Homeland Security’s history, we ran exercises for a potential real-life nuclear strike on American soil, because frankly, we couldn’t rule out that our own president might take us into such an apocalyptic situation.”

Taylor asserted that Trump has maintained “nuclear fantasies” for a long time. For example, when Trump was a candidate in 2016, "MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough said a foreign policy adviser had come away from a briefing with Trump rattled, because Trump asked, three separate times, some version of the question: ‘If we have nuclear weapons, why can’t we use them?’ Candidate Trump also told The New York Times he wasn’t sure it ‘would be a bad thing for us’ if Japan built its own nuclear deterrent against North Korea, and he told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that Saudi Arabia should have nukes, too, ‘absolutely.’” And “since then, Trump has toyed with nuclear weapons more openly and more recklessly than any American president ever entrusted with the stewardship of the bomb.”

Then on Monday, another figure from Trump’s orbit, former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, posted that the president and his advisors “are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings… It’s real. I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil.”
