Our “so-called” president – The egotistical power monger

Ted Folkert

February 6, 2017

The barrage of objections and admonishments of Trump’s actions since taking office have been unprecedented and astounding. Government leaders, both current and former, have declared his actions to be isolationist and aggressively threatening to many other countries, actions not well thought out, not diplomatic, not prudent and not necessary.

Dozens of governmental officials and corporate leaders have spoken out in objection to his shoot-from-the-hip and ask-questions-later attitude. The consensus of his opposition seems to be that he is dictating actions that will damage many of our own citizens, states and cities and deter the economic benefits of employing foreign workers and attracting tourism, as well as create difficulties for those who travel to other countries.

He disrespects our system of law enforcement and justice, ignores the Constitutional provisions with respect to his actions and plays to the whims and pleasures of the billionaire class, in which he declares to belong.

He is creating a government which will be stymied by legal challenges at all levels as those who feel strongly about the damage to our society take legal action to block his egregious path to protectionism and isolationism.

And the most troubling threat of his actions would be triggering warfare with his idle and unnecessary threats, which is a sad future for our young to anticipate.

Think about it!
