The end of the third full week of June marks the ultimate proof of the ineptitude and cruelty of the term of our president.
He has amply displayed the worst character flaws that the leader of our beloved nation has a right to exhibit. His lies are recognized, tolerated with a 90 percent approval rating of his Republican majority.
What madness afflicts his followers?
Have they lost the ability to distinguish truth? And how can his cowardly followers in the Congress, whom we elected to protect us, ignore the facts that he shamelessly distorts?
In the 17 months of this dismal tenure, we are experiencingg evidence of heartless stupidity.
There are so many missteps in the record of the past few months but we must bear witness first to the latest atrocious decisions relating to separating children from migrating refugees from Latin American dangers.
We must stop to castigate Trump and his attorney general, who have now reached the absolute bottom of inhumane disregard for children.
They have given the responsibility to abysmally unprepared agencies. They have indiscriminately torn thousands of children whose ages range from infants to teen agers from their parents, without keeping records of their placements.
Adults who have been forced to relinquish them have been scattered all over the country and continent. How much thought has been expended on the results?
Trump has been forced to change his tactics by the enraged public, but the consequences of this fiasco are incalculable..
Trump presents himself as the ultimate deal maker and master negotiator, casting himself as the ultimate successful businessman, when, in reality, his business history reveals many costly and dishonest mistakes.
Trump’s failures in the short period of his presidency, which he trumpets as accomplishments, follows. Peter Baker of the New York Times has briefly listed some of the nothingness.
Most recently, Trump gave up on immigration, leaving consideration until after fall midterm election.
Other deals left hanging in midair, include health care, a deal on gun control, a deal on spending cuts, a deal on NAFTA, a deal on China trade, a deal on steel and aluminum imports, a deal on Middle East peace, a deal on the Qatar blockade, a deal on Syria, a deal on Russia, a deal on Iran. a deal on climate change, a deal on Pacific trade, and so on.
Besides the above proposed complicated deals.
Trump has failed on rather routine deals. For example, after a Group 7 summit meeting this month with the world’s leading economic powers.
He throws in a monkey wrench with the world’s economic powers, refusing to sign an agreement with Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau, after an agreement that every previous president had agreed upon for decades.
He manages to promote chaos by playing hardball, but not making a decision.
But the most fanciful notion in Trump’s imaginings is his belief (read: biggest lie) that North Korea will abandon nuclearization, resulting in the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to our hero.
Along with his delusions, we can add the solution to the Palestinian troubles, the moving of the American embassy to Jerusalem and some other brilliant ideas like removing judges from deliberations on where migrants should be assigned while waiting to be allowed to be connected with their scattered despondent children.
