Critics of High Plains Blogger ask me on occasion why I keep criticizing Donald Trump. They think I “hate” him. They accuse me of suffering from something called Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Some of them even have challenged me to stop criticizing him.

I’ll deal with that final item with this brief response.

No. I will not stop. I won’t stop calling this individual what I believe he is until he steps out of the Oval Office for the final time. Whether it’s after his current term or after a second term (please, no!), or whether it occurs at some point between those dates, I’ll keep harping on what I have long believed about this president.

Such as . . .

He is unfit for the office. His entire professional life has been geared toward self-enrichment. Trump has no moral compass. The president demands loyalty from his subordinates, but gives none of it in return. He lacks empathy. Trump has no understanding of history. The president lacks any understanding of his office, or the government, or the Constitution that was crafted to create that government. Donald Trump has no sense of decency, decorum, dignity.

I cannot sit quietly and watch this man seek to dismantle the infrastructure on which this government stands.

So, to my critics I want merely to advise them: I intend to keep speaking out against this president at any opportunity that presents itself. I will do so even if I have to look for those opportunities.

I want him removed from the Oval Office.
