GOP Mayor: "Trump Presents a Clear and Present Danger"

It hasn't been hard to find a robust chorus of Democrats who want President Donald Trump gone immediately. Conversely, Republican critics are harder to find.

That being said, Republican Sterling Heights Mayor Michael Taylor tells the BBC:

"He presents a clear and present danger to the United States of America, to our democracy, to our nation, to our constitution, to our republic and I think it is time for him to go. I know he leaves in 12 days but that's too much time in my opinion."

Though a Taylor is a lifelong Republican, his criticism may not come as a shock considering he was skepical of Trump before and backed Joe Biden for president.

In March, he tweeted:

"How could I look at those three kids and tell them I'm proud to support Donald Trump? I can't. I won't. I'm voting for @JoeBiden tomorrow and endorsing him for President of the United States. I hope you'll join me."
