For all the other reasons Trump should not be president, here’s another that should disqualify him, by Hal Brown, MSW

Which of these presidents doesn’t belong in the Situation Room during a crisis?

Former Apprentice contestant and White House adviser Omarosa Manigault Newman told MSNBC’s Jason Johnson the following on Thursday evening:

“I will tell you, I have had to sit through long ceremonies with Donald Trump. I’ve had to sit next to him during long church services or different policy events. And Donald Trump cannot focus, nor can he sit still for very long. In fact, we used to build our events specifically to address his attention deficit. We would break up the events so that he be stimulated and not fall asleep. We could slide him different information or news articles he could read while the long proceedings were going on, anything to keep him focused so he wouldn’t get up and walk out.”

In the interview she went on to suggest Trump will find it difficult to sit through his hush money trial where proceedings can be “very boring” noting tha he’s already fallen asleep in court. She said it “highly likely” Trump will “blow up” when hearing testimony he doesn’t like. She said the “worst place you can allow Trump to be is in a courtroom.”

Consider a the photo of the Situation Room (above) which CNN called “a photo for the ages” and the people pictured:

  1. Joe BidenVice President of the United States
  2. Barack ObamaPresident of the United States
  3. Brigadier General Marshall B. “Brad” Webb, Assistant Commanding General of the Joint Special Operations Command
  4. Denis McDonoughDeputy National Security Advisor
  5. Hillary ClintonSecretary of State
  6. Robert GatesSecretary of Defense
Standing
  1. Admiral Mike MullenChairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
  2. Tom DonilonAssistant to the President for National Security Affairs
  3. William M. DaleyWhite House Chief of Staff
  4. Antony Blinken, National Security Advisor to the Vice President
  5. Audrey Tomason, Director for Counterterrorism for the National Security Council
  6. An unidentified person in a beige shirt behind Tomason (only a fragment of the person’s shoulder is visible)
  7. John O. Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism
  8. James R. ClapperDirector of National Intelligence
  9. A man in a black suit with a white tie. Though his head is out of frame, he has been identified as a CIA analyst, publicly known only as “John”, who was “the first to put in writing [in summer 2010] that the CIA might have a legitimate lead on finding bin Laden.”[5]

Substitute these 15 people for those who Trump would have in their place. I would expect that several people on the most recent short list for his Vice Presdiential choice would be there not only as vice president but in other positions.

I don’t have the time to put the faces above in the Situation Room photoshop so you’ll have to use your imagination.

It is Trump’s inability to digest complex information unless it is presented at an elementary school level and understand details presented by experts, and weigh decisions based on rational reasoning of weighing the pros and cons of any action that should rule him out as being qualified to be president. Add to this that he will surround himself with advisors chosen only for their loyalty, his drive to appear like a superman, and his own often revenge driven agenda, and you have someone not qualified to manage a McDonald’s let alone be president.

Really… consider this:
