A pair of Republican senators have sounded an alarm about US President Donald Trump’s fitness for office and warned that his actions were degrading and dangerous to the country ‑ an extraordinary breach that threatens his legislative agenda and further escalates the civil war tearing apart the Republican Party.
Delivering an emotional speech from the Senate floor announcing that he would not seek reelection next year, Senator Jeff Flake said Trump’s behaviour is “dangerous to their democracy” and summoned fellow Republican leaders to speak out about the president’s conduct.
Republican US Senator Bob Corker and President Trump have been trading insults, with Corker saying the president is consistently untruthful and has debased the United States and undermined its relationships around the world.
He also questioned the president’s stability and competence.
