“Hand over the wall, or its curtains, sweetheart.”
"I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said at a campaign rally in Sioux City, Iowa. These may be the only words of truth that have passed over the lips of Donald J. Trump. This chilling statement was greeted with enthusiastic cheers and applause by the attendees, cementing in the minds of seasoned observers that presidential politics would never be the same during their lifetime.
Trump loyalists have demanded very little of substance from their president. Least among their wishes for America is the truth. Truth in politics is hard to come by as it is, but when truth is openly abandoned, and cheered on as a sign of acceptable leadership, then the country acquiescing to this standard of governance has lost its moral standing on the world stage.
The Trump presidency is an unfinished dime-store novel with a plot that’s being written on an as needed basis. Lower your expectations for a happy ending.
