Would Donald Trump Be a Dangerous President?
Senior Republican national security officials in the US have signed a letter arguing that Donald Trump 鈥渨ould be a dangerous president鈥�. Are they right?
Earlier this month 50 senior Republican national security officials signed a letter arguing that Donald Trump 鈥渓acks the character, values and experience鈥� to lead the United States. 鈥淲e are convinced鈥�, they wrote, 鈥渉e would be a dangerous president鈥�. We want to know if they are right.
Our expert witnesses are: Timothy O鈥橞rien, 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.
