America is 'waking up to walking catastrophe' of Donald Trump, former Labor secretary says

America is “waking up” to the inadequacies of Donald Trump following his humiliating failure to repeal and replace Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, a former Secretary of Labor has claimed.

In a Twitter post, Robert Reich described the President as “incompetent” and “a liar”, adding he “may well be a traitor”, in reference to ongoing allegations linking his campaign team to Russia.

“Most of America is now waking up to the walking catastrophe who is now our president,” Mr Reich said.

Mr Reich, who headed the Labor department under President Bill Clinton, picked out three key failures for the Trump administration across what he terms an “Emperor’s New Clothes” week.

And I'm not certain Trump's hard core supporters will every really 'get it'. They are people of the lie and need the lies for their existence.

Love Mr. Reich though! And I hope he's right and I'm wrong.
