Whether you lean toward a liberal or conservative philosophy, it would seem impossible not to be disgusted by the behavior of our President. Self-indulgent, he belittles anyone who does not openly adore him. Women, immigrants, minorities, the press and political "enemies" are his favorite targets.
Having just lost the House of Representatives to the Democrats, Trump held a news conference to wallow in his victory and to chastise those Republicans who shunned his support and then lost their election. When faced with tragic shootings across our nation, he bemoans the fact that they distract the press from his personal accomplishments. Taking note of a parade of desperate refugees, far from our border, he sends in the military with instructions to shoot anyone who throws rocks. Having learned that Saudi officials killed and dismembered a journalist, he readily accepts their denial of complicity.
Trump the narcissist is incapable of empathy. He cannot "feel the pain" of those who suffer since he, himself, has lived a life of luxury. Soon after ending yesterday's news conference, he announced the forced resignation of his Attorney General, just the latest effort to shield himself from public scrutiny. It's time for Democrats and Republicans alike to dislodge this soulless President and to restore dignity and compassion to the most powerful office on Earth.
