It is said that we get the government we deserve. If so, what have we done to deserve the incompetent man who holds the office once held by Lincoln, Roosevelt, Eisenhower and so many others?
This man, who had five draft deferments for bone spurs, seems to have no hesitation in threatening to use our military without thinking about the consequences. He took an oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution but demeans and degrades those who exercise their First Amendment rights of freedom of the press and speech.
He seems to think he is above the law and has no regard for the rule of law, at least as it applies to him.
He has alienated our allies, strengthened our enemies and threatened national security. He lies or misrepresents facts, blames others for his errors and then denies he ever said or did these things.
His administration is weakening or destroying the hard work done to protect the public’s health and welfare, all the while using his office to benefit himself and his family.
And Congress sits by quietly, refusing to act as an equal branch of government.This president is not making America great, he is ruining our democracy.
