The Formative Political Period of D Trump
Pipe bombs and Synagogue shootings. Our democracy looks like it’s coming apart at the seams. We can’t stand each other. Red team vs Blue team. No more civil debate about policy. Fist fights and mobs shedding light on our problems with inflammatory rhetoric and tiki torches. Putin’s got to be loving this.
How did we sink to such depths? Say what you will about both sides stoking the flames, I am sorry but the plummet started with Donald Trump. And he simply refuses to put out the fire. There won’t be any phone calls of concern to either of the two past presidents of our country that received pipe bombs in the mail. He deliberately entices his supporters at political rallies with fomenting remarks that work up the crowd to the point that it could be easily mistaken for one observing a professional wrestling match. Political opponents and any institution he feels are critical of him are meted out insulting, incendiary verbal body slams (most affectively applied in Montana).
Trump! Words matter. Addressing these latest assaults on the psyche of this county with prompted generalities of rebuke are not enough. There are mixed up nut-jobs out there who will take you seriously. Stop the insults, fear mongering, and for Pete’s sake stop all the LYING. You complain about unfair treatment by the media, that it is completely unbalanced with negative reporting. Can you not figure out that the reason for that is you are constantly doing so many stupid things and insulting us with blatant lies. I kind of want to know if you are using an unsecured cell phone. The public should know that when you promise a middle class tax cut before the mid-terms you are pulling the whole idea out of your ass in order to garnish votes. Congress is not even in session. The media is not the “enemy of the people.” And I know you are desperate for those votes but how can you say with a straight face that Republicans will save pre-existing conditions when you and the entire party have made destroying the ACA your defining mission statement.
There are no ISIS terrorists hiding amidst the throng of Central Americans slowly trodding their way to our border. Democrats are not “evil.” Democrats aren’t providing Central American gang members with Rolls Royces. What the fuck is wrong with you? Even though many of both parties feel a wall is over the top, Democrats, Independents, Republicans, we all want immigration reform and a secure border. There is no rioting in sanctuary cities. No Democrat senator voted against the new opioid epidemic bill. Virtually every Democrat and Republican voted FOR it. It was an almost historic bipartisan outcome of our times. It was in all the papers. CNN gave you warm kudos for your accomplishment. What in the hell do you do all day.? You are supposed to know these things. Bewilderingly, you turned a media positive for something you did into a media negative all by yourself!- by LYING about it! Once again you look like an idiot to anyone who is remotely informed and I for one want that made clear in news reporting. Do the media and yourself a favor and start telling the truth for a change.
The president of this country is supposed to be a leader for all, not some. In a moment of crisis your pattern is to make a prompted speech that momentarily sounds universally presidential, but at your next rally, off you go again with ridiculous statements and lies. For god sake control yourself. I know the emotional rush you get from the rousing applause gives you a boner, but we need you to show some restraint. There are sick people out there. You need to more carefully examine those standing behind you at your rallies. Those people and our country in general would be better served if you told the truth. It is frightening enough to have mentally imbalanced people just waiting for some famous or authoritative person validate whatever craziness is bouncing around in their mind, but when that person is the president of the United States there is a strong likelihood of a tragic consequence. Stop stooping to the lowest common denominator to boost your ratings. Stoking paranoia and fear with deception is not the nature of any kind of responsible leader.
