About Trump – Written With Gravitas

In talking about Donald Trump I normally just string together a series of four letter words but I thought I would write something much longer with a bit more gravitas. The reason is twofold. First, I want to express my feelings about him and second, I know if it’s longer than 140 characters and has polysyllabic words, he won’t, (or can’t) read it which protects me from his need for retribution.
Trump doesn’t have the moral, ethical and legal standing to be president of the USA. That he was elected is an American tragedy and intensely offensive to someone like me who loves and served this country. I have had my disagreements, some small, some big, with all our presidents since I was old enough to be aware but not one of them ever made me ashamed to be an American. Trump does. In addition to his disgusting personality traits, he is already in violation of the constitution, a tax evader, dead beat, sociopath and last but not least, mentally disturbed and as I can assume from his current and past behavior, mentally deficient. He needs constant adulation so he is more concerned about his poll numbers, adoring crowds, and TVratings than anything else. When the contrary is reported, he attacks the messengers and lies about it, or in Orwellian newspeak expresses “alternate facts.” He surrounds himself with cronies who kiss or have kissed his ass, a basic requirement for a narcissist. I blame republicans who hide behind patriotism but for whom power and their jobs are more important than country. I refuse to believe they are supporting him because of his political views. The great irony is that if Trump succeeds in giving us what he promised, many of the people who supported him are the ones who will be the most hurt. For example, word is that if ACA is repealed, many rural hospitals in the heart of Trump country will have to close. Those who claim that liberals have forgotten them and supported Trump, I also blame on republicans, who blocked progress by democrats and especially our black president and then succeed in convincing their adoring voters that it’s the democrats at fault. I won’t deny that we democrats have much to do to combat the belief by some of our citizens that they have been forgotten but I don’t thing that will be too difficult. Republicans will do it for us. I have yet to see one thing on the republican agenda that does anything for the ordinary citizen.
