Trumped!

I wasn't going to dive right into this topic.   I thought I would do some lighter posts first before I came around to the President but not a day goes by that he doesn't do something idiotic so here we are.

I still am dumbfounded by the fact that this unqualified, ignorant, disrespectful, failure managed to lock down the Republican nomination much less the Presidency of the United States of America.  I know there are many reasons people voted for him.  They wanted change.  They thought electing someone who was not a politician might bring the change they wanted.  They thought running America like a business would be a good thing.  Some voted for him simply because they were Republicans and he was their candidate.  And yes, I am convinced that some liked his less appealing qualities.  He objectifies women.  He is a racist.  He's a moron.  You may not agree with all of these, but I am confident they are all true (and disgusting behavior for anyone, let alone a president).

I can forgive people who elected him the first time around, but if you still feel he is worthy of that position and plan on voting for him again... I just don't know what to say.  How could you?  Why would you?  Is it just because you like how he "owns the libs"  Seriously.  We've seen that he doesn't know what he is doing in any arena.  He cozies up to Russia and refuses to take action against them.  He is trying to make Kim and South Korea his bestest friend.  He's not likely to succeed in his trade war with China, he can't be bothered to keep up on the weather and forces others in his administration to lie when he gives out incorrect information on a hurricane, when primary challengers arise to run against him he shuts down primary elections in several states, he calls the press his primary opponent and constantly accuses them of lying even when it is easily proved they are not, he lies about his crowd sizes over and over,  he feeds visitors to the White House fast food, he constantly spreads rumors from conspiracy theorists while at the same time saying his own intelligence agencies are lying to make him look bad, while he is shown evidence again and again that foreign nations are trying to influence our elections, he refuses to do anything to counter the influence, and lets not forget that he has (on multiple occasions) stated that he wants to expand gun control, only to back down each time after meeting with the NRA. 

The list goes on and on.  Pretty much any one of these issues would have destroyed another candidate.  How is it that so many people, apparently at least about one third of the American public, DO NOT CARE?  When did we decide that party Trumps country?  I don't expect that he will be able to win re-election.  But then again, I didn't expect that he had a chance of even winning his parties nomination and here we are.  For the sake of our nation, I hope sanity prevails.  I sincerely hope we are not Trumped again.
