Commentators more knowledgeable than me, more fixated on government policy, more aware of the bend and shape of the world's alliances, will be assessing Donald Trump's total bendover for Russia's Vlad Putin, but honestly, I've been watching world events with a keen eye for all of my 77 years and I've not seen before anyone so destructive to our country and its interests as Trump.
Trump has been taking an absolute wrecking ball to the departments, agencies and structure of our government, weakening it, undermining it's function, rendering it almost useless to the American people.
At the same time, Trump is severing ties with our traditional allies, destroying any semblance of respect other countries have for the U.S., instead linking us with Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, etc.
At the same time, Trump disrespects and mocks our closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico, insults Panama, Greenland, Denmark and others.
Like a greedy, selfish, spoiled child, all of a sudden, Trump wants everything for himself; Panama's canal, the precious minerals of Ukraine and Greenland, etc. Trump looks at all the countries of the world through the lense of "what can we steal from you?"
It's never been more embarrassing to be an American, to have such an immoral, greedy bastard in the Oval Office, to have someone whose made our country look so idiotic, so egocentric, so unfeeling, so blind to the rest of the world.
Adding to that embarrassment has been the speed with which Republicans, once a proud party of courage and patriotism, quickly acquiesce to every whim of this uneducated bully. There are no Barry Goldwaters or Howard Bakers in today's version of Republicanism, only sycophants and yes-men.
What is it that Putin has on Trump? My mind wanders back to the "golden shower's" thing from years ago. Vladimir must have pictures or more.
May some divine being help our country.
Trump doesn't love America. Trump could not make it in New York nor anywhere. Then he had to work on TV to earn a salary. So America has not been a good country for Trump. America has shown him that he has to be corrupt and a bully to survive. Trump doesn't know how to work and earn a decent salary.
