SUBLIME TO RIDICULOUS

     So how long does this continue? Why is it that this man, this incompetent, deranged and cruel man can continue in office while he is accused of sexual harassment and misbehavior, lies through his teeth, refuses to talk under oath, keeps secrets from the American people, cheats and fudges on his returns, taking advantage of every loophole for the rich, mixes American policies with his bottom line and turns on a dime should it negatively seem to impact on his bottom line and is an all around miserable human being.
     Sound harsh? Well, tell that to his fellow Republicans who question his behavior with ZTE, the Chinese company. Talk to others who cringe at his assuming the nomination for a Nobel Peace Prize when his boasted upon summit does not take place and the atmosphere is more muddied than ever by his mouth and that of his toadies. Talk to supporters of his who turn a blind eye to him even as they say they wish he would just shut up sometimes. Really? Try all the time, but how can one think he is a smart man or a good man after listening to his mouth's utterances and seeing what he has caused.
     Now he has gone over the top. His immigration policy, such as it is, consists of hate, pure and simple, of designating the 'other' as the source of all that is evil in the land, never mind his own shenanigans and those of his other toadies who are destroying us every day, more and more. And now he has gone a step further, really and truly over the top and if anyone can still think that he is not a demagogue in the making, that his ultimate goal is become Dictator for Life, along with the rest of those he admires, then you had better think again. Not enough that we target families, not enough that we stalk children in school, or the church where immigrants attend. No! We must stalk and rip apart and demean and debase and subsume them into an 'animal' category. And now, the next step. Dictatorship here we come. You know the football players, those who take a knee or who support the right of them to do so - try freedom of speech - well. Those players are now deemed guilty of whatever crime he has thought of in his bizarre and cruel mind and said that they need to be deported, to be thrown out of the country. Now remember, this is a great big step further on - throw American citizens out of their country and for the crime of speaking their mind, trying to address problems in the country, do so in a peaceful manner and this guy just rants and raves.
     This man is a liar in the nth degree. He is cowardly, refusing to answer questions under oath, refuses to believe that he falls into the same demands as others - he must obey the law, and if he does not, then he must pay the price. He thinks that changing his hairdo will change what others think of him? Wrong, so wrong. And the football players response - the man is an idiot. His behavior is disgusting they say, divisive and not very American.
     So how much longer? How much longer will we have a man who is a demagogue in behavior, who befriends and admires our enemies and poor examples of leadership, who have driven their respective countries to the wall, derided our allies and friends and turned off most of the country to him. He is an embarrassment to us all.
     What the hell are we doing or not! And why?
