Would Donald Trump Be a Dangerous President?
Senior Republican national security officials in the US have signed a letter arguing that Donald Trump βwould be a dangerous presidentβ. Are they right?
Earlier this month 50 senior Republican national security officials signed a letter arguing that Donald Trump βlacks the character, values and experienceβ to lead the United States. βWe are convincedβ, they wrote, βhe would be a dangerous presidentβ. We want to know if they are right.
Our expert witnesses are: Timothy OβBrien, author of The Art of Being The Donald; Peter Feaman, Florida representative for the Republican National Committee; Daniel Drezner, professor of international politics at Tufts; and Elaine Kamarck from the Brookings Institution, an expert on presidential power and its limits.
