Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson and Sarah Matthews:

Three women who served in the Trump White House are sounding the alarm on what a second Donald Trump term could mean for the country, with one saying it could "mean the end of American democracy as we know it."

Bill Barr, Trump's former Attorney General:

"I have made clear that I strongly oppose Trump for the nomination and will not endorse Trump,” former Attorney General Bill Barr told NBC News. Asked how he would vote if the general election pits Trump against President Joe Biden, a Democrat, Barr said: “I’ll jump off that bridge when I get to it."

His former Secretary of Defense, Chief of Staff think Trump is unfit to be president:

Another former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, is among those who wants Trump defeated in the GOP primaries.

“I am working hard to make sure that someone else is the nominee,” Mulvaney said. “I think he’s the Republican who is most likely to lose in a general election, of all our leading candidates. If anyone can lose to Joe Biden, it would be him.”

Former defense secretary Mark Esper told CNN in an interview earlier this month that he doesn’t plan on endorsing anyone and believes Trump is not “fit for office because he puts himself first and I think anybody running for office should put the country first."

Trump surrounded by two cabinet members who now think he is menace to society, Rex Tillerson and James Mattis

His former Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense don't think much of him either:

• Mattis described Trump as a man "without a country."
• Tillerson called Trump a "moron."
