WHAT HE DID

     Sounds like the title to a thriller, does it not?Unfortunately it is not and instead is the sentence of shock at what that ass has done yet again.
      First he has a news dump Friday evening, hoping the storm will cover his nastiness up - but it did not. He kept on tweeting about Harvey with childlike statements about its size and only a late, vaguely worded statement  mentioned the people. People see past his tricks and at least are beginning to question his tweets and other outrageous doings even as he takes apart the regulations that have kept our workingmen and women safe, that have protected our waterways, our air, have acknowledged the climate changes affecting our environment, kept a leash on the banks and business so as to avoid another 2008 disaster. We must pay more attention to what he is doing as well as the ever growing log of insanity and wacky deeds and tweets and especially his growing open connections with haters.
     What is even more frightening is his attitude towards the press, the free press, the press that has covered the news and been allowed a freedom ever since the trial of Peter Zenger in colonial America. It gave the press freedom to critique, to comment, to point out weaknesses, misdeeds, fallacies and this jerk is ever so sensitive to the truth that he goes ballistic as he just did, calling them people who hate their country, who are liars and are purveyors of fake news, even as he boasts again of a win in 2016. It is truly getting very tired even as more and more pols are openly saying that there is obviously something very wrong with him. You bet there is and just a minor point. This same attitude towards a press that points out the truth is evident in David Israel as he goes ballistic every time the opposition papers comes out with the truth. To quote someone,  "Sad. very sad, bigly so." And it does not end there.
      Now he threatens that he is going to end the NAFTA talks because he does not like the attitude of Mexico and Canada, not being cooperative in his opinion and how shocking that Mexico refuses to pay for a wall that obsesses this jerk even as we all know it is not necessary nor will it stop any "bad hombres" and drugs coming through. Only in his own tiny and useless mind.
       But wait, there's more. This man who is still making money from his business, what with the Trump hotel in DC the place to go for conservatives, for diplomats who wish to curry his favor, and worse, the chutzpah, he has charged the Secret Service big bucks to rent golf carts to guard him as he tootles around his golf course even when he should be doing at least some work since he ostensibly is the President. And now  we find out that during the campaign Trump and business was negotiating for a huge Trump Tower in Russia. Just lovely!!
     His daughter and the Trump family are in cahoots with a guy undergoing charges concerning money issues - great sense and sure hope she has better sense and brains when she works on the problems of the country - and his two little boys, Eric and Junior, are involved in Dubai with a partner and they do not pay their workers. And this is the guy that working people in some areas think is the cat's meow!!!!
     Fighting in the streets was something I warned about and yesterday we had exactly that as anarchists or antifa beat the crap out of alt right people and basically the cops did not do much, equipment and all. It will only get worse and will not stop unless Trump goes, even as some of the alt right people there were wearing Trump wear. And now we find that Trump and Sessions are resuming the arming the police with military equipment. It just keeps getting worse and worse.
     Seriously, this man leaves the country in a bad state. We have no guidance, no one truly steering the ship of state and no one seems to be able to control him. He appears to be addicted to that damn twitter and cannot let go. He obsesses about things to the exclusion of all else and leaves us floundering in deep waters. I just read an article that compares us to the metaphorical story of Game of Thrones and it made sense. Both places are in grave danger but at least they have a leader or two who will stand up for the people. What do we have here and as the long winter of three and a half more years with this man looms ominously over all of us, who knows what will be - even as this dangerous creep is running for office right now at the beginning of his first term. Yikes !!! The thought of it!!!
     What he did - and we are not done yet.

    As an addendum, we were glued to the screen yesterday as we watched scenes of Houston pass. We used to visit the city quite often when my son and family lived there and we recognized that vastly changed terrain and are concerned about the people we met and the rest of the residents. May G-d keep them safe and may help come now and as they try to rebuild their shattered live.
