At a White House event, President Trump declared himself no longer a civilian as he seems to believe that being president also makes him a member of the military.

According to the official White House transcript, as provided to PoliticusUSA, Trump said, “We’ve had a lot of victories, but we haven’t had a victory on healthcare. We’re disappointed. I am very disappointed because, again, even as a civilian, for seven years I’ve been hearing about healthcare, and I’ve been hearing about repeal and replace. And Obamacare is a total disaster. Some states had over a 200 percent increase — a 200 percent increase — in their premiums, and their deductibles are through the roof. It’s an absolute disaster.”
Donald Trump is still a civilian. Being president does make him a member of the military. The role of commander in chief is a title, not an official military position. Trump is still very much a civilian, and subject to civilian laws. Trump is slipping fast, and it is time for the American people to take notice of the fact that they are being governed by someone who might not be all there.
