Politicians were always known to lie - most Americans agree. But it seems to me that we’ve come to the age of constant lying, constant story-telling by our president. What is just as disgusting are the other staffers and congressmen who either back him up or don’t stand up to the lying. Added onto lies are the name-calling. How immature is that! On and on, day after day, tweet after tweet, our America’s institutions are being demoralized, debased, just down-right disrespected by someone who is supposed to lead us.
Personally, I’m sick of it, thoroughly disgusted. Who in their right mind and heart can justify this crude, dishonest behavior? And why is it allowed to continue? How did we get someone so vulgar, dishonorable, and vindictive to lead this country?
Stop a minute. Hate is all around. Blame is impulsively pointed out. To see the other side, I always think a good way to get another picture is to put someone else’s name in place of the person one is talking about. Since Trump hates Obama (and Hillary), replace their names and read. Read Trump’s tweets as if Obama himself were saying it. Wow! Trump followers would have a heart-attack on the spot!
Go back even further to pre-2016 election times, continue through to today. All those tweets, all those speeches. Go ahead, replace the name of who said all that stuff. Man, unbelievable right?
So what do we want for America? A lie for a lie, and another lie, plus all the rotten characteristics that come along with it - disrespect, vulgarity, vindictiveness? Or the truth to lead us to more truths, to bring honor, respect, dignity to America and its citizens and institutions?
The choice belongs to each and every one of us. Really. Theresa M
