I have been thinking quite a bit lately about some requests asked of me in recent weeks. Three people asked at different times if I was ever going to write something positive about President Trump, as most all of my Blogs are centered around negative news regarding the president and those who are within his inner circle, as well as the things he has said and done that don't live up to the standards of the office he holds, or the definition of human decency.
The more I thought about the request, the more I became upset. You see, over the past year-and-a-half, there have been a small handful of positive things that have come out of the Trump Presidency, but to me, none of that matters because of everything else.
Doing a couple of good things doesn't absolve all of the hate, lies, rhetoric, misogyny, bigotry, racism, arrogance, egotism, and narcissism. A person like Trump, who refuses to stop outright lying to the American People (so much so that he lies more than he tells the truth at this point), doesn't deserve to be commended on successes.
If someone like Trump would turn their life around, be fair, stop lying constantly, press for bipartisan solutions to the issues, truly look out for the best interests of the country and ALL of its people, realize that the presidency is more about the people and country than himself, stop denigrating people and businesses on a daily basis, and just fight to change for the better...that person would certainly deserve to be recognized.
We don't have that in the United States. We have a leader who continues to lie and denigrate those who call him out for the things he says and does. We have a leader who is incapable of being even the slightest bit humble.
It's like saying, "I really like that guy because he's a great teacher, even though he beats his wife and children on a daily basis". The fact that he's a great teacher doesn't make the other horrible things he does any better.
Trump accomplishing a few things during his presidency doesn't make any of the scores of things I have listed in previous blogs any better. At this point, Trump doesn't deserve to be recognized for anything positive.
You can support him if you want to as that is your right, but I simply don't know how anyone can at this point.
If you would attach any former President who has served in the history of the United States to the things this President has said and done (that we know about so far), any one of them would have been impeached long ago. It saddens me that we have reached a point in this country where partisan politics is stronger than human decency. That bold statement isn't directed specifically at one party either, but at the establishment as a whole. Watching Senate Hearings and the way in which out legislative body works now simply makes me want to cry. We should be better than we are. It should be fairly easy for a country of 326 Million People to find 535 individuals who are willing to work together as individuals for the betterment of our country and its people. We need major change.
I'm keeping this one short today.
Remain engaged in the truth, and active at the ballot box everyone.
