President Trump may be the first American President to turn his campaign "win" into a presidential "loss." His speech in Phoenix last night was an unfortunate campaign rally speech set in a climate that should be trying to make progress governing the country.
By rehashing tired rhetoric about fake news, the NYT, the Washington Post, CNN, John McCain, the Republican Senate (and its leaders) -- Trump has, once again, undercut his own potential effectiveness as President (and World Leader). Many in the government are realistically worried about Trump's mental health and human stability. Is the Presidency a "game" for Trump? Something to "win" but then "not play anymore?
Who is the "loser" if Trump fails as President? We all are. He is, unfortunately, our current sitting President. Whether he is actually up to the job of being a President -- I am unsure. Would Hillary have been a better President? Who care? Life has passed her by on that count.
Recently I was challenged by someone I hope will be a "close friend" --- about Trump -- and my views in this blog. My views are what they are -- because I have participated in his campaign, and didn't like what I experienced. I have also "known" and "known about" Trump from his dealings building gaming casinos in New Jersey. I have seen Trump in action making speeches about all he was going to do to "bring jobs" to the Jersey shore. Ask those hundreds of individuals, vendors, small businessmen, jobbers, and employees what they think of Trump and Trump Enterprises now. I could tell you "true stories." But this is not the time, nor the place.
Continue to Resist!!!
