What a world

The President of the United States is cyber-bullying a woman in the media on Twitter. Thank goodness we got rid of that Dijon mustard loving, Kenyan born, welfare loving, Muslim that came before him.

I had reason to Google "Glen Plaid" this morning. During this bit of research, I learned (incidentally) that President Ronald Reagan was considered 'un-Presidential' for wearing a gray-and-blue Glen plaid suit on a European trip in 1982.

All I can say is that the standards of "un-Presidential" behavior have taken quite a beating since 1982.

Have a great 4th!

The conjecture that somehow Trump is being maltreated or is subject to more vitriol than normal is an absolute falsehood. Invective and character assassination is something that has always been part of American politics. There are simply too many examples for anyone who is even remotely familiar with American political history to think otherwise. Here is one, for instance, that I came across recently. George Washington's farewell speech is in modern times considered to be a canonical text that is even read aloud each year in Congress on Washington's birthday. At the time, however, the Republican reaction was, venomous and denounced Washington's words as "the loathings of a sick mind." Benjamin Franklin Bache, a grandson of the Benjamin Franklin who published a newspaper in Philadelphia called the Aurora, regurgitated the old claim that Washington conspired with the British during the Revolution. Bache also dredged up an open letter that Thomas Paine, the author of Common Sense, wrote to Washington that hoped Washington would die and further said, "the world will be puzzled to decide whether you are an apostate or an impostor, whether you have abandoned good principles or whether you ever had any."

The truth is that Trump is his own worst enemy and almost all of his current troubles are of his own doing. It's his fault that he is under investigation by a special counsel and will almost surely not emerge unscathed. It's his fault that current polls have him at one of the lowest approval ratings ever this early in a presidency and it's his fault that most people when polled think he's doing a poor job. He has failed at repealing and replace Obamacare so far. He has failed at tax reform so far. Pulling us out of the Paris accord was a big nothing burger because no matter what he did, the agreement remains in effect until the next administration at least and many governors in many states are openly defying his actions. His executive orders have mostly been toothless and ineffectual. His travel ban remains essentially worthless, and the only reason it has any effect at all is that the Supreme Court partially allowed it. It was not a 9-0 victory; it was a 6-3 split decision. Never mind that the travel ban accomplishes nothing of value. The real face of terrorism in the US is white and mentally unstable. You are in more danger of being killed if a white racist merely perceives you as being Muslim in the US than you are suffering from violence at the hands of a Muslim. The bogus voter integrity commission he is insisting upon is a joke of the highest order, whose only purpose is to soothe his fragile narcissistic ego and provide some cover for why he lost the popular vote by over 6 million votes. That loss is the highest popular vote loss in modern history, and many states are openly defying the requests of the commission. Even Mississippi told the "Election Integrity" committee to go "Jump in the Gulf of Mexico."

People called Obama a Muslim. People said he was not qualified. People said he was a closeted racist with a deep-seated hatred for white people. People called him a hater of Israel. People said he wasn't born in America. People said he hid his secret gay life to become President and should come out of the closet. People like Ted Nugent said he should be assassinated. The vitriol waged against Obama was beyond the pale. However, one thing Obama never did, was act like the petulant, childish, immature and misogynist scum-bag that Trump is every day.
