President Trump is putting forth a plan to bring unprecedented power to the Executive Branch of our Government while weakening the Judicial and Legislative Branches. Trump is trying to achieve his goal by dividing Americans through a formula of spreading fear and hatred throughout our society. Trump and his cohorts Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller, Sean Hannity, Jeff Sessions and Company are achieving this by bending the truth or blatantly lying in their daily communications with the public. What his buddies don't realize is that in Trump's quest for absolute power, Donald Trump only cares about Donald Trump.
People like Donald Trump, who are self absorbed and power hungry, normally don't wind up on the right side of history. Just ask Hitler, Napoleon, Jefferson Davis, and Senator Joe McCarthy. Our Democracy has faced numerous challenges over the past two centuries and it is by no means perfect, but we have evolved. George Washington taught us our most valuable lesson, that not one person, one group, nor special interest is bigger than our Democracy and the Freedoms and Happiness Americans are entitled to by our Constitution. Twice Washington set this precedence when he resigned as Commander in Chief at the end of the Revolutionary War and when he declined to run for a third term as President. Over the years, we have been blessed with leaders like Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, T.R., Wilson, F.D.R., Truman, Ike, JFK, Reagan, McCain, and Obama who understood that the United States and the values we represent of "Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness" have a greater meaning that goes way beyond our borders.
Donald Trump's biggest mistake is that he under estimates the exact people he was elected to lead. America will make the adjustments and reject Trump's selfish policies of racism, bigotry, sexism, antisemitism, and homophobia. If Trump doesn't make the necessary adjustment, voters will. We are "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
