The Circus

Before Trump was elected to the presidency, there was a program on SHOWTIME called, "The Circus." Four journalists/political correspondents followed all of the candidates into different states and surprisingly, it was non-partisan. You were not quite certain who any of the correspondents were voting for. However, this did not diminish that Donald Trump appeared buffoonish. Every other week, he did something which was quite astounding, whether it was making fun of a disabled vet, questioning the beloved vet family about their son's honor, the news report that he had not only groped women, but engaged in detrimental name-calling. He came off as a misogynist, a clown, but it seemed funny at the time, since no way could he be elected.

Now that he is president, even SNL is no longer funny, since what could be funnier than what is really happening in the White House? Every day, there is another lie--more chaos, tweets galore, insults to those who do no agree with him, a firing. His latest was James Comey, who frankly I was enraged at when he reported-a month before Hillary was slated to win-these leaked e-mails, which turned out to be insignificant, but did nothing to share with the general public the Russian collusion which was being investigated in the Trump candidacy.

Now, a day after the Comey firing (and as it turns out, the man has great integrity), today's headlines read he disclosed Trump has exposed secrets to the Russians. The man is no longer just a buffoon--he is downright dangerous. He is a danger to our environment, to our healthcare system and to the world-who now laughs at America. I laugh at this office, which I no longer take seriously. How can any intelligent person take a man who changes his mind dozens of times a day take him seriously; one who breaks promises every day of the week and needs to be placated like an infant?

This "Circus" he has created has lost its sense of humor to me. We need to dump not only him, but the whole crew who dares to call him president of the United States, an office that was supposed to have some integrity!
