IT'S BAD AND GETTING WORSE!

During World War II during the early years in the Pacific, whenever a US Submarine launched a torpedo toward a Japanese ship, there was great fear that the torpedo would hit a target, mainly, the US submarine! Those early war year torpedoes were defective and costly in terms of lives.

I bring this up because it seems to me that there is a parallel between the torpedo (Present administration), the enemy and the submarine (the USA). The administration is launching policies and they are coming back to us, hurting and missing completely the target, but impacting our country.

We can make a case for the shifting of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. That move will incite riots against both Israel and the US. Many people will be maned and killed, there will be property destruction. Svengali

There is the Russian investigation, another blot on the Administration. Doing business as a President-elect is totally illegal and needs to be punished if you see the implications involved. To add insult to injury, we have political non-entities now doing business with son and son-in-law involvement both pre-and post-election. If you look in the background, you will see Trump financial considerations. He was warned by the Obama Administration about General Flynn, yet he went about appointing him anyway. Why? Was it a natural hate of Obama?

All his campaign promises appease the haters of immigrants, both Mexican and Muslim and those of any foreign origin. Walls that others will pay, bravado words pushing forward that appease a minority of ill-informed people that buy into the hate.

It is that very same minority that usually is anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-Gay.

People will argue that the electoral system is at fault, but I think not. I think that the selection or nominating committees that drove Mr. Trump as the leading candidate are to blame. Embedded too deeply in our hearts and souls is this innate prejudice we harbor, and instead of allowing ourselves to grow and become accepting of others, we allow that hate to grow. An electoral college is really a tool that the majority doesn't over-rule and subjugate the minority by allowing sections of a country and minorities lag or fall behind in self-governance.

Trump has no idea about the office, the concept of "America First" so boldly proclaimed throughout his candidacy and no concept that he has to cancel his interest in order to move forward the interest of his country.

Trump is not qualified as President, that could have happened one way or another that he became President. The problem is it did. We can't blame people for voting for him, but we must blame people for continuous support of him.
