The obstacle I face today is a lack of descriptive words to reflect the insanity that is Trump and his shameful presidency. After the eloquent and capable President Obama comes a simpleton, incurious, unethical, and smarmiest women-abusing man to ever occupy the most powerful and most prestigious office in the world. I do not know what to say anymore that effectively describes my disgust for him and the cringe-worthy acts by him that will compose each day. Each morning I fear to turn on the news. Who can effectively explain every new behavioral idiocy of this incompetent, unfit and malevolent excuse for humanity whose finger rests on a nuclear button that can eradicate our planet and the life on it? I am ashamed and I am embarrassed at what I know will be his next stupid act for all the world to see and to laugh at. I do not laugh. I cry that this demented mendacious man is at the helm of our government with his small hands near a button that could obliterate billions of amazing evolutionary years that produced our magnificent planet earth. Our fate hangs with this incompetent, explosive know nothing leading our nation and I feel powerless to get this flypaper that is stuck to our body politic off!
There has been no action yet that sparks as much incredulity as Trump's visit to the Hurricane Maria devastated once beautiful nation of Puerto Rico in his feeble attempt at consoling inconsolable grief. Our president says, though, they should be happy that it was not Katrina. He says he will forgive Puerto Rico's debt. Don't -- forgive the pun -- bank on it. The lack of empathy that is Trump is staggering. It forces me to wonder what was done in to him in his youth to make him the most pathological president in our nation's history and one who has zero capacity to feel for less fortunate others who were not born with a proverbial gold spoon in their mouth. One's station in life sometimes, in part, is created but sometimes it is simply directed by luck. Donald Trump was lucky he was born into inheritance wealth and through the corrupt machinations of his own doing built an even greater fortune on the backs of others he did not pay or, in the alternative, when his businesses failed he merely filed for bankruptcy to avoid the loss.
His actions upon visiting Puerto Rico were, for me, the telltale icing on his poisonous psychological cake. The gall to actually throw paper towels at the Puerto Rican people as if he were throwing fish to a seal at SeaWorld was jaw dropping. Just what did he want them to do with those paper towels?
All of our modern day weather tragedies, as I have iterated many times, can be laid at a Republican Party's feet and its treacherous feeble Republican presidents' continual denial of climate change and the lack of development of technologies to rectify it. Denying this science creates the monstrous hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, fires and floods we see all the time. The damage and upheaval to lives is massive. Blame can be laid at a Party that denies the science that decades ago, based on evidence, predicted those awful weather events would occur.
The shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada was done by a sick man who could get his hands on weapons of war and attachments to make those weapons into more lethal rapid fire ones because he could. It is as easy as a Google click away or attendance at a private gun show held continuously throughout the year for someone to create another 1929 Al Capone St. Valentine's Day Massacre except this time on a Vietnam War scale.
What can we do with those paper towels Trump threw at the crowd? We can dry the tears of those in Puerto Rico as they bury their dead and try to reconstruct a new life, soak up the water flooded streets in Houston and wipe up the blood of 58 innocents because a sick man could get his hands on explosives and weapons of war without anyone blinking an eye at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. Gun regulation in Nevada and many states is lax. Because it is lax many more people will continue to be slaughtered by guns. That horror could happen to any of us.
I think paper towels are not up to these clean-up jobs. Perhaps someone should have told Trump that before he insultingly flung them into the crowd in Puerto Rico! Shame on him and those who support him. I suggest you stock up on paper towels, you may, in fact, need billions of them.
