Re: POTUS 45.13 - CNN is still Fake News
When I think about how the rest of the world is ignoring the United State now because of the vacuum where our leadership used to be I get even angrier at the republicans in congress and trump supporters everywhere.
Our standing in the world suffered enough during Ws 8 years and one of the (sometimes) unnoticed things about the Obama presidency was how well our image overseas was repaired by Obama and -- horrors -- Hillary Clinton. In a matter of months trump has pretty much erased that.
Not that the leadership provided by the U.S. is always good or right, but if I want any country to be the de facto leader of the free world, I want it to be mine. Right now we have less standing with the world than we have EVER had.
Not only is our president unqualified, he is largely absent. He doesn't have the knowledge or stamina to participate. Key posts are left unfilled. Engagement is nearly non existent (unless you count the meeting with Putin that was 3 times longer than it was scheduled to be).
trump and his minions are surrendering our place on the world stage. This malfeasance is an offense bad enough that I consider it treasonous. All of his people and all of the people in power who are supposed to be holding the executive branch accountable have apparently forgotten that oath they took to defend our constitution, what does it say...? something like...?
oh yeah
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
If I could waive a magic wand and send them all to hell yesterday I'd do it. Three and a half more years of this 5h!t is gonna be hardest on the people who support him most, so I guess that makes this a
little easier to take.
