Poison

What does it say when you have trouble believing anything your government officials tell you—when you’ve lost faith in their competence, stopped trusting them to have your and the country’s best interests in mind?

I keep trying to get my head around what’s been going on since Donald Trump emerged from his gilded cave, and I should know by now that that’s an impossible task. He promised the world, but only so he could get elected and get back at people who he thought had done him wrong. People believed in him, thought he might be a breath of fresh air, and now we’re all stuck with the consequences of that gullibility.

The only saving he was gonna be doing was his own ass. Otherwise, he’s incapable of anything honorable or beneficial.

He’s hijacked the Presidency, turned it into a bad joke. Worst of all, he’s opened the door on the truly frightening cast of characters who have the distinction of intentionally trying to bring this country to its knees. Hateful and disillusioned scam artists who call themselves Christian, who prefer lily whiteness to any other skin color, who prefer living in isolation, and in the frontier days when nobody got a handout. The only people in their world who stand to benefit are… them. Everyone else is a dolt, expendable, a nuisance.

They have no grand vision, or at least one any sane, sensible person would willingly, knowingly align with.
