“Deranged.” “Insane. “Unhinged.” “Warmonger.”
That’s just a sampling of words Senate Democrats used to describe President Donald Trump’s words and actions over the past week — which have included threatening to wipe Iran off the map, attacking the pope and even sharing an image of himself as the Messiah, which he deleted on Monday after widespread criticism from Republicans and faith leaders around the world.
But unlike in the House, where dozens of Democrats are calling for Trump’s removal from office via the 25th Amendment or impeachment, most Democratic senators are urging their party to stay focused on offering a clear contrast to the policies of Republican-controlled Washington ahead of the coming midterm elections.
