The Trump Presidency

The Trump Presidency

It is 3:52 AM on Thursday, November 10, 2016. I can’t sleep. My thoughts are a hamster on a wheel. They have been since waking up to the news that Trump won the presidential election. In spite of the documented stories about Trump’s business dealings, his lack of any moral code, and his vindictiveness, people still voted him in.   
No use dredging up the multitude of reasons why this is untenable and foreboding.

The Republican majority in Congress is already sucking up to Trump’s strong-arm tactics lest they be subjected to his rancorous diatribes. Already, Mitch McConnell is boasting, “Trump can unravel nearly everything Obama did, including labor rights, equal pay, workplace safety, environmental safeguards, and The Affordable Care Plan. (All on Day One) Women’s rights are over. The health, safety, and welfare of American citizens will not be a priority. Women, children, the poor, and the elderly will suffer the most. The Supreme Court will make a mockery of equality and justice. 

Trump’s supporters want change at any cost. They have opened Pandora’s Box and the evils of the world have been unleashed. There are serious consequences ahead for all Americans and the world as we know it. When one party dominates a nation, it is not a democracy but a dictatorship.


 Trump is not now or ever will be my president. I am disconsolate.
