In these politically divisive times, it was not the least bit surprising that we saw the possible, attempted assassinations of two former presidents, another presidential candidate, a former vice president, workers at a major news network, a billionaire, and a congresswoman, just to name a few….
I truley dont think that President Trump wants to see violence inflicted on anyone, including his political opponents. I don't. But his comments on this incident sound hollow.
He claims this is the time to come together, but when he fails to speak from the heart about the potential bomb victims, simply reads a scripted teleprompter during the day, and then jokes about it at night, his words, his actions actually shout “I don’t care”.
His child like behavior, his bullying, his propensity to lie and lie again, his hateful and divisive comments day in and day out all betray him.
So, it’s impossible to believe that he wants to be president to all Americans, that he truly cares about those who disagree with him and that he has any genuine interest in unifying the country. Impossible.
The proof point to my statements above resides not just in the President’s statements and actions over the years, but also very succinctly in his opening remarks on Wednesday regarding the suspicious packages and devices mailed to “current and former high ranking government officials,” as he described them.
Current and former high ranking government officials...
Is that best you got Mr. President?
Yes, yes it was. Trump was unable to personalize this terror attack and name the cadre of potential victims who coincidentally compose a large part of his political opposition and the foils for his boogeymen politics, so instead, he did his best to sweep it under the rug and blame his favorite foil, Fake News
President Trump had a golden opportunity to show Americans that he could be a great leader, an honest man and a caring individual, but he couldn’t do any of those things. Because he is incapable of doing so. If he really wanted to unify us, he would have called the potential victims here to reassure them he would do everything in his power to investigate the matter, but there were no such calls.
Even more astounding, he wouldn’t even utter the real names of the potential victims here. Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, CNN, Eric Holder, George Soros, Maxine Waters and others
And it happened AGAIN today when the President addressed the arrest of the alleged bomber. There was no mention of the names of the potential victims.
Trump has had no issues denigrating all of these individuals over and over again at his campaign rallies and in his Twitter feed. But now, strangely enough, he can’t remember their names. Really?
Contrast that to the day when Steve Scalise, the Republican Congressman, was shot by a deranged left leaning partisan, Trump had no problem remembering HIS name that day.
But I’m not surprised. To name the potential victims would be a perceived acknowledgment that maybe all of his hateful and vile political rhetoric over months and now years against these very individuals had possibly, just possibly been a motivating factor in the creation of these devices by this clearly deranged individual. To do so, would be to admit that he was part of the problem.
But he couldn’t do it. Our leader couldn’t do it.
To my Republican friends, I will absolutely agree that there are whack jobs on both sides of the aisle, there clearly are, and they all need to stopped. But please, don’t insult my intelligence and tell me President Trump wants to bring us together. Please. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Like the cowardly bomber who hides behind the cloak of anonymity, our cowardly president hides behind his own cloak of lies and deception.
This coward is simply incapable of admitting the truth, even to himself.
