Trump just said that the congresswomen that he had earlier made racist tweets about hate our country. He said that they always complain about our country. First, it is our first amendment right to complain about whatever we want to. Second, these women were elected as representatives of the United States of America and are doing their duty to be a voice for their constituents. Third, I have only heard them complain about policy, process, and the actions of Trumps administration, not the country. Donald Trump, is NOT the country. The people are the country and the people are the government. Fourth, Trump complains more about our country than anyone I have ever heard before. I think he is the one who must hate our country. He hates the rule of law. He hates the balance of power. He has disdain for the constitution and the Judicial branch of the government. He is "in love" with ruthless dictators and monarchies.
47% of you approve of Trump's performance. That means every other person I meet supports this xenophobic, transgender hating, sexual predatory, misogynistic, bigoted racist. Wake up people! This man is taking us to a dark place in America's past. He is leading us away from our ideals and toward fascism. He is plundering and pillaging our land for his personal gain.
I beg you please to let go of your fears and embrace the founding ideals of this country that we are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. That all are equal under the law. That we reject fascism, corruption, and dictatorship. In America we should not tell our brothers and sisters to leave if they don't like how things are. We ask them to speak up and take bold action to make things better. We ask what we can do for our country, not how can we profit from its most vulnerable people.
I will not ask Donald Trump that he leave our country because he complains so much about it. But I will ask him to resign from the office that he so disrespects. I will speak out against every lie he utters. I will demand that our congress hold him accountable for abuse of power. I will call his supporters out for putting their selfish economic interests above everything, including our Democracy.
I beg you all not to put me on snooze or hide my comments because it makes you uncomfortable. We should all be uncomfortable with the path this President is leading us down.
May God please bless this country's people with the ability to truly see the hatred in our hearts, the ability to hear the cries of families ripped apart by Trumps cruel policies, the ability to smell the stench of greed and corruption, the ability to feel empathy for the poor and hungry refugee, and to taste the possibility of what could be if we truly aspire to live up to the ideals of our founding documents.
