I’m in my 70s and have seen many things and attitudes change. I have lived through several United States Presidents, from Eisenhower to President Trump. In my lifetime, I have never seen nor heard of a President scrutinized over every word he speaks, humiliated by the public, the media, and other politicians to the point of disgrace and slander. He has been ridiculed, insulted, lied about, and other things beyond common logic. Members of the First Family have been threatened with death; there have been threats to rape our First Lady; his children also have been insulted & humiliated.
I am truly ashamed of the people of MY country. I am ashamed of the ruthless, hating, cruel Trump haters. In my eyes, these people have displayed little to no pride, morals, ethics, or values in Our Country’s traditions while projecting themselves to be highly moral, tolerant, and always correct.
Our Elders taught us 30 or 40 years ago to respect our President, whether we voted for them or not. Before he was elected, every other president who took the oath of office was left alone. They weren’t on the news 24/7 and weren’t scrutinized by their every word. With all the media and legal pressures to do this or that, he was never given the time to take care of the vital work this country needed during his first four years. I’m starting to see the same things happening for the next 4 years, which saddens me. I know he is not perfect, very different than what we’ve become accustomed to, but ENOUGH is ENOUGH. LEAVE THE MAN ALONE & LET HIM DO HIS JOB!! There is a reason he won the popular vote.
None of the other Presidents in their times were spotless or perfect, either. I want our President to succeed!
