Donald J. Trump remains AWOL. He is MIA. He is hiding in plain sight, out there on the golf course in south Florida, hacking away at little white balls.
Meanwhile, the nation continues to fight what looks still like a losing battle against the unseen enemy, the virus that has killed more than 337,000 Americans.
I no longer expect anything from Donald Trump. He’s all but a goner.
Then again, I remain fixated on this nagging sense that he should be in the game. He should be barking out directives to his team of “the best people” on how he intends to facilitate delivery of the much-needed and long-awaited vaccine.
There remains no national strategy to wage war against a national enemy. Remember when Donald Trump called himself a “wartime president” and that he would conduct himself in such a manner while battling this disease? That turned out to be yet another promise unkept.
We are being briefed almost daily by President-elect Biden and members of his medical/science team. They will be taking over in just 22 days; they cannot pass soon enough, if you ask me. They haven’t suited up just yet.
Which brings me back to my point. We have one president at a time. The nation remains buried under the tragedy brought to us by this disease. Donald Trump has abdicated his responsibility as the leader of this nation by homing in matters that have everything to do with his political future and not a single freaking thing to do with you and me … and our health and well-being!
I’ve heard pundits pontificate about how we should ignore Trump that he’s no longer relevant to the national discussion. I do ignore the lies. I ignore the self-serving bloviating. I will not ignore any president — no matter how distasteful he is — when he has something important to say about a pandemic that continues to ravage the country we all love.
Dammit to hell anyway! Donald Trump took an oath to protect us. At the end of that oath, he said “so help me God.” The nation he pledged to protect is suffering.
Step up … Donald! Then in only 22 days you can just get the hell out of the way.
I’m glad you’re no longer focused on Trump! Like I’ve told you NUMEROUS times, he’s in your head. The problem is, he’s been there so long, the only way out is therapy.
Or, perhaps an exorcism! LOL
“Critics” like you slay me. You await anything I write about Trump and then you pounce. Any other comment on any other subject? Crickets. Is that how you define an Internet “troll”? And you accuse me of being afflicted by Trump Derangement Syndrome. Uh huh. Happy new year.
90+% of what you write is about Trump!!! I’ve commented on several of the few that didn’t have Trump as the main attack.
Happy New Year and pray the clock doesn’t stop at 11:59:59pm this evening!
