In Syria threat by ‘manchild’ Trump is ‘most disturbing presidential statement ever made’ – Galloway an RT reporter interviewed former British Member of Parliment George Galloway who has gone on to be a broadcaster.
The real story isn’t what Galloway said in the interview as he isn't a well-known world figure outside of the U.K. It’s that RT decided to publish an interview someone with such a critical view of Trump who questions Trump’s mental capacity and calls for him to removed under the 25th Amendment.
“First of all the tweets from President Trump is undoubtedly the most disturbing statement ever made by any US president and calls into question the very sanity of the person issued it,” Galloway said.
“The world is watching on in horror even in the countries Britain and France that have already indicated they wish to join the putative American strike against Syria. We are on the point of what could develop into World War Three due to the unhinged, juvenile actions of a manchild.”
Galloway went on to urge Washington officials to take matters into their own hands and impeach the out-of-control president.
“I believe that the US cabinet, which has the power to do so under the 25th amendment to the US constitution, must now declare that the author of that tweet is no longer fit to discharge their duties and should be removed from office.”
It’s also important to consider how RT framed Galloway’s comments and the use of the word “alarming” and “threatening.”
Former MP George Galloway has called on the US cabinet to impeach Donald Trump, labeling him a “man child” and questioning the American president’s sanity after he promised to launch “smart” missiles at Syria.
Trump’s alarming tweets were followed shortly after by the Pentagon issuing a statement in which it said it "does not comment on potential future military actions" and referring questions about the tweet to the White House.
One hour after the threatening tweet, Trump shared a softer message about Russia. According to the POTUS, the fraught relationship between the US and Russia need not be that way.
When Russian state-run media quotes a Brit calling Trump a manchild, questions Trump's sanity, and calls for him to be removed under the 25th Amendment it is news.
As far as I can tell with a Google News search, this hasn't been covered anywhere except on RT which is why I wanted to put it on Daily Kos.
