The bill was flown to Mar-a-Lago on Thursday afternoon. . . . . .
According to a CNN report, ‘as the hour approached, aides were informed the President would not be signing the relief bill that evening. One source told CNN that Trump had “changed his mind.”‘
I’m wondering now - as are probably many/most of you - when did Donald Trump get a mind, let alone be competent enough to change one?
For one to have the ability to make such a conscious decision implies that one has either a mind, a conscience or a modicum of decency, empathy - or plain ole-fashioned caringness - to do
THE RIGHT THING!
Notwithstanding that, of course - far better for those in dire need to receive $2000.00 as opposed to $600.00 - not the issue. What is the issue? you may well ask?
The issue is that faith, confidence - hope - yes even hope, was trustingly placed in the hands of Mr President Donald JumpTrump - to exercise his plain old responsibilities and make an attempt - make an attempt to alleviate the pain, the suffering - the embarrassment of the regular American citizen, to perhaps, be able to buy food for a Christmas Day dinner - to look their children in the eye and say, ”Things aren’t great - but things will get better.”
Today - two days after Christmas, if that same parent sits their children down in front of them he will say, what?
”Shucks, kids. Our all-wise and benevolent President seems to feel that another day, or two - or weeks - or maybe a month, will be character building for us Americans. And so, we just have to suck it up - and do what’s best for our fearless leader and country.”
Huh?
Is that possibly true?
Might well be. What else can they offer their kids, here - two days after Christmas.
Nada….zilch….zero - nothing.
Donald Trump has finally achieved what no other American president has ever achieved…..the full-on contempt of America’s citizenry. Its disgust and complete disdain for anything he might do now today, or tomorrow or 25 days from now.
One thing is for sure - on Day 26 Donald Trump will no longer be residing in
the White House.
And that’s the very best thing one can take away from this conduct of warped egotism and misplaced values.
