How Trump Became a Buffoon

May 4, 2017

Well said, Hal. The second hundred days are not starting out any better than the first hundred ended. Trump and the GOP Congressional leadership are doing their best to change our society to benefit the few at the expense of the many to a degree their reactionary predecessors could only dream about. The health care fight is not yet over. Those who voted to pass this most recent bill in the House must pay for their lack of human compassion as quickly as possible. – rjc

Definition of buffoon from Merriam-Webster Dictionary

“1: a ludicrous figure: clown

2: a gross and usually ill-educated or stupid person acting like a ridiculous buffoon”

The ultimate dividing line of our generation was the Vietnam War. We grew up inspired by the greatest generation. John F. Kennedy’s famous statement, “Ask not what your country can do for you…ask what you can do for your country.”, rang loud in our ears. The war forced a decision upon our youth and their families. The choice was to serve, to oppose or to evade wartime service.

Many, originally myself included, saw our duty as answering the nation’s call to arms. Others, immediately seeing that war as an act of murky imperialism and stumbling politics, opposed the war. Many were afraid to take a stand. Interestingly, today those who are the loudest proponents of violence and war, conservative leaders like Ted Nugent, Rush…

  2. Rick, thanks for the kind word. We are now in the second Gilded Age where the rich prey upon the weak and poor.

  3. “My fellow citizens of the world, Ask Not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man…” J. F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961. I loved that man the minute I heard those words. The most inclusive words ever spoken.

    We must also look at the role the Democrats played allowing Trump, to rise to the top like cream. We musr show The People how cream is rancid.

    Trump’s refusal to show his taxes, his denegration of women, his lies, his false promises, greed to fill his coffers, bankruptcies plus an in-depth look at at his presidential selections:

    Inexperienced family members, Generals, Goldman Sacks graduates, corporate advisors, an anti-semite/racist, and

    Trump does not speak to the needs of The People–the seniors, the poor, the middle group, the Mexicans, the Moslems the working people and all who suffer greatly from Trump’s blindness from being born rich and to a real estate family.

    Suggest he buy an island and surround himself with those that fulfill his delusions BuT NOT IN THE UNITED STATES!
