Opinion | Pro-defense Republicans should support a primary challenge to Trump

Candles are placed to commemorate victims of Friday's shooting, outside the Al Noor mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 18. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 18 at 1:30 PM A president refuses to identify the ideological roots of terrorists. He claims that television media or his political opponents exaggerate the threat.

Trump’s reaction to white-nationalist terrorism is part of a pattern in which Trump’s bizarre misconceptions about the world and desire to please a fringe element in his base prevent him from protecting U.S. national security interests. Cheney expressed alarm over news reports that Trump “supposedly doesn’t spend that much time with the intel people, or doesn’t agree with them, frequently,” as well as the high staff turnover rate at the intelligence agencies.

Not even defense spending is secure under Trump. While defense spending has increased under Trump, he’s now stealing from defense to pay for a wall to address an “emergency” his national security experts say doesn’t exist. Kaine made an argument Republicans who fancy themselves as hawks should be propounding:

This post is hilarious! Is this more ClickBait from your junior interns? gop thedemocrats

Republicans, Military supporters, The Washington Post has your best interests in mind, said no one ever.

George Conway says mental illness you want a challenge ? Do all of you know how stupid you really sound ? Putin hated Hillary so much he wanted her to lose. Did Soviet’s and Castro plot to kill Kennedy ? Oswald and Ruby were lucky no twitter, CNN and MSNBC weren’t around.

I am glad you must subscribe to the Washington Post. If not, I may read the articles. But judging by their headlines I feel the people who do are a little bit dumber after.

Please make Wapo's wet dream come true. They stopped pretending to be an unbiased outlet longtime ago

Every tweet from WP sounds dumber than the last.

Now that would possibly be the smartest thing they can do to send the dictator a message.

Literally every republican and Democrat is 'pro-defense' What Trump is against is useless interventions and paying for the security of other wealthy nations.

Hahaha. What?

Lol.

Mind your own business, fake news

JRubinBlogger Nice try...but truly delusional.

Trump is gutting the military budget to get money for his stupid wall Pay raises and pensions are being raided...

Va. Republican Stewart to head pro-Trump PAC focused on 2020 electionsCorey Stewart, who divided Virginia’s Republican Party during a failed Senate campaign last fall, will raise funds for Trump and like-minded candidates as head of the Keep America Great political action committee. Why? Why didn't Virginia Republicans learn their lessons about Corey Stewart? The GOP likes having the worst human being on Earth as their president. I'm not calling Draft Dodger a racist but, I'm just saying the racist think you are racist.... Scratch that. He is.
