Somewhere in the neighborhood of 129 million Americans voted in the 2016 election for the presidency of the United States. Being generous and not separating out the Democrats, Independents or anarchist, see Susan Sarandon, who possibly voted for Trump, that means 62 million people voted for the President. The country has since been engaged, collectively, in counterefforts to stop the reversal of 21st Century progress. Mr. Trump made noises about banning transgendered military personnel, and instead of disarming America in the face of what are becoming monthly mass shootings he [Trump] wants to arm the math teacher. A North Korea summit is swirling about the hair of Mr. Trump with our diplomatic corps in flux. The rescinding of an Iran Nuclear agreement is a real possibility with the nomination of Mike Pompeo as the head of the State Department and the climate change deterrents, identified by former President Obama and literally the rest of the world, may go away.
In the middle of all this turmoil, the country turns its lonely eyes to Stormy Daniels. With all the enumerable and obvious signs of presidential incompetence, a woman who primarily makes a living unclothed, may strip the President of his facade and expose him as the naked emperor. Of course, Trump’s scandals are no longer a shock to any world citizen. I spoke to a friend yesterday who was the victim of molestation as a child, she told her Mom, her sisters and her brother and, “no one said or did anything,” she told me, with her voice wavering. America’s parents, America’s sisters and America’s brothers are now in a place to say and do something. I believe seventeen women, including one ex-wife, it is sad we have lost count, have accused President Trump of everything from groping to rape in the last 30 years.
The President has a long and sordid track record including uncomfortable romantic banter directed toward his daughter Ivanka in an interview on the long-running mid-morning talk show ‘The View.’ The President chalked the comment up to his uproarious sense of humor but I guess my snowflake’s integrity did not catch the joke. A sidelight to that interview which aired in March of 2006, Melania Trump gave birth to the only child of her union with Mr. Trump, on the 20th of March, and if reports are true, Donald Trump was carrying on torrid affairs with Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal at the same time. That makes the interview revealing in two ways, Trump had no trouble making a joke that carried with it the hint of sexual interest in his daughter and at the same time was allegedly cheating on his wife with a porn star and a Playboy model.
‘Oh, what a tangled web…’
None of these revelations will bother the evangelicals who granted Trump a ‘mulligan’ or his red hat brigade of supporters. The MAGA head covering only comes off long enough to salute, load up and pray. So, to Tony Perkins, Franklin Graham, Mark Burns and the rest of theologians who were tricked into this game of bridge, join the rest of America we are bidding ‘no Trump’
