Trump “Beyond Repair”

Former Bush Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Donald Trump: “I believe Mr. Trump is beyond repair. He is stubbornly uninformed…he is unqualified and unfit to be Commander-in-Chief.”

It sure would have been nice if statements like these, that are as obvious as the nose on your face, could have dominated the public discourse in time to have made a difference.

Also, not to pick nits, but “beyond repair” implies that there was a former state to which the subject could be restored, e.g., “He repaired the damaged automobile.” This is not the case with Trump, who appears to have been a sociopath all his life.
