History will judge Trump’s presidency
Robert Reich, who was secretary of labor under President Bill Clinton, wrote in a column: “A president’s most fundamental legal and moral responsibility is to uphold and protect our system of government. Donald Trump has degraded that system.”
Never before in our history has one president taken all the nefarious attributes of the worst of our presidents and combined them into one.
Our nation (despite President Abraham Lincoln’s warning) is divided, politically and socially. The rift between the aisle of Congress has widened appreciably due, largely, to the controversial current resident of the White House and his bizarre policies on how to run the country.
Mark Twain said, “Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.” He said this with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, but Trump has taken it literally.
This is not a Democratic nor a Republican agenda; rather, a cruel twist of fate has elected a man who couldn’t care less about people, let alone his constituents.
History will record this presidency as one of the most divisive in its existence. For those who still have faith that Trump will somehow rise above himself and start acting presidential; ask this question: “If Donald Trump had been president (instead of JFK) in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis, would we all be here today?”
