This is the United States. Regardless of what any one wants including the President, each citizen has the right to express their opinion. That expression should be made without fear of reprisals. An old saying that I heard as a child comes to mind. I heard old farmers say it while discussing politics.
"If something is wrong, stand up and say so with a straight back and firm voice. Not standing up means that you are a pile of sh**. Because sh** can't stand." President Donald J. Trump needs to grow up. He needs to stop playing the "Blame game" and "You are not the boss of me.' If he was raised correctly, he would step up and take responsibility for his choices and actions. It is easy to say "I screwed that up. I'll do a better job." He always chooses to blame others.
Trump claims his business and personal wealth are proof that he will make a great President. The following paragraph was taken from the first link "Newsweek."
He is also pretty good at self-deception, and plain old deception. Trump is willing to claim success even when it is not there, according to his own statements. “I’m just telling you, you wouldn’t say that you're failing,” he said in a 2007 deposition when asked to explain why he would give an upbeat assessment of his business even if it was in trouble. “If somebody said, ‘How you doing?’ you're going to say you're doing good.” Perhaps such dissembling is fine in polite cocktail party conversation, but in the business world it’s called lying.
President Trump wants to run the government like a business. Lord above, I hope not. The links below on his business failings give proof of his abilities. He needs to read the last three links. The last link is the most important. The government is set up the way it is for a reason. That way no individual or group has control.
The President represents every American and their rights. That representation should be combined with respect. He does not. On 3/18/17, I blogged about Budget Director, Mick Mulvaney. He represents President Donald Trump's wishes on the Budget. What time machine did Trump use to pull him out of Nazi Germany's past is what I wonder. Children, Elderly, and the disabled no longer will get assistance with food. Money to help the poor pay for the high cost of heating will go the way of the Do-Do. college students trying to better themselves would not be able to do so. Trump thinks states will step up. If they could, they already would have to avoid his crap.
He cut money from programs to help the elderly,disabled and children. If adult kids could help, they would not be on their own. He put all the money into the military. Lets look at a few things that he doesn't want people to look at. See the www.syracuse.com link below. Every day that Melania and his son Baron stay in Trump Towers it costs the city $127,000 to $146,000. When Trump is there, it costs the city 308,000 per day. The tweets below were sent to me. His Florida trips to his private White House is costing about 1 million for every day he is there. I am too tired at this moment but the reader should really research the costs of the perks their congressman and senator receive.
For the cost to taxpayers of one weekend golf trip to Mar-a-Lago (approx. 3,300,000), Trump could provide Meals on Wheels to 461,538 seniors
I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
