I
am not going to be a hypocrite. The freeing of the prisoners from N.
Korea is a good thing. I will give credit
where it is due. This is a good thing, Mr. Trump, and the attempt at
creating a diplomatic amelioration between N. Korea
and the South with the US facilitating it is nothing short of
miraculous if it happens. It is too early to tell how solid this
attempt will be but the prisoners are home and that is surely good.
Trump's attempt at improving the relations between North Korea and the
South could have a positive impact on other nations in the region and,
indeed, the world. It could tamp down the
nuclear war threat on the Korean peninsula and even its occurrence as
far as the US mainland if Kim Jong-un improves his nuclear proficiency
which he appeared to be doing.
This does not, however, eliminate the hundreds of poisonous
things that began with Donald J. Trump's ride down the escalator to
declare Mexicans, crossing our border to escape a dastardly life,
criminals and rapists. Trump has
sullied the positive relationship between the races both here and around
the world. He has made a place for neo Nazis to spew their hate and
said nothing of right wing terrorist violence more prolific here than
Islamic terrorist attacks by far. You, Mr. Trump, have
done many unAmerican things, including and most especially the alleged
collusion with Russia which I believe has occurred. In my mind that is
treason. Trump has advocated for many inhumane polices
-- creating a wall between nations, ruined DACA separating Hispanic
parents from their children, deported thousands who committed no crime
but were merely looking for a better life. He has tried to exact his
pound of racist flesh on Obama by overruling much good the Obama
administration did. Trump lies and he lies all the time impugning our
free press as well as his own Department of Justice. Trump has
implemented more destructive mandates including but not limited to
pulling away from the Iran nuclear agreement as well as denying climate
change by pulling away from the climate change agreement signed by all
nations in the world except the US. These are existential threats to
our planet.
The corruption in this administration shocks the
conscience of most of our nation. It increases our allies' incredulity
about the reliability and the sanity of our country. These things have
disastrous consequences not only for the US and its allies but for the
world entire.
What,
Mr. Trump, you do, if successful, between N. Korea and the South will be great and I applaud you for it but the evil you
spawn by the rest of the ugly inhumane and profane things you do will obviate the greatness of thawing
the icy relations between North Korea and the South but creating another flood that kills.
Still RESIST!
