Today Donald J. Trump announced he was revoking the security clearance of John Brennan, former Director of the CIA, who tracked Osama Bin Laden down and directed his elimination.
The reason? Brennan publicly criticized Trump.
John Brennan is a private citizen and had every right to speak his mind. A right protected by the First Amendment to the US Constitution.
Some thoughts:
1. This is not the act of a strong leader;
2. In fact, it is the act of a craven coward; an insecure bully; a weak leader;
3. The action weakens America;
4. The thought keeps crossing my mind - is there such a thing as a Republican Patriot?
There is at least one. His name is John McCain.
Recently the Congress passed a defense bill named in honor of John McCain. President Trump signed the bill at a ceremony without mentioning the name of the bill or mentioning John McCain.
No class.
