I’m not happy having to shelter at home due to the refusal of the President to take action at a federal level. I’m not happy with not him insinuating that the U.S. intelligence community should be “sharing” their briefings with Russia. I’m not happy that a fleet of Republicans who called him the second coming of Satan (think Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell) now kowtow and lick his boots.
My feelings for Donald Trump have festered for more than three decades, but he didn’t have real power until January 2017. He has made the world more racist, more violent, less safe, and closer to extinction due to elimination of environmental protections and expiration of international agreements.
Why Trump has any support just baffles me. He’s the:
• Great student who threatened to sue schools if they released his grades
• Self-made businessman who needed $400M from his father
• Best-selling author because he bought tens of thousands of copies and left them in all his hotel rooms
• Sports maven who bought a football team and wound up putting the league out of business
• Casino magnate whose three hotels in AC tanked
• Comedian who bragged on 9/12 that he now owned “the tallest building in NYC”
• Philanthropist whose foundation used other people’s money until NY State shut it down, demanded $2M in restitution, and forced his entire family to write letters of apology
• Real estate…
