The Unfriendly Trumpet
Posted at 3:10 am , on August 1, 2016
Greetings Readers,
When a politician runs for office like the President of the United States he or she must acquire all the friends and allies a candidate can acquire. Since Trump began his campaign he has made enemies and practically no friends. From calling out McCain as no hero early-on, and saying ex-mayor Bloomberg never had the guts to run for president, to the family of the fallen Muslim lieutenant Trump made enemies and his dedicated followers extremely uneasy.
A month ago I wrote sarcastically after reading ISIS beheaded a 12-year-old boy, and ISIS was opening an investigation as to the reason behind the execution, I wrote “They have their loose cannons too.” The Republican Party has a loose cannon and must live with their choice until he loses in a landslide in November. The Donald is clearly not fit to be president.
The Muslim father received extensive appearances this weekend during CNN interviews, Face the Nation, and Meet the Press. The FOx network was cautiously silent, while Trump lost 10-15% of his dedicated following. In reply to the family’s sacrifice Trump said he has also sacrificed by providing the underclass with the opportunity to be employed to raise themselves economically. That’s not a sacrifice, that’s an obligation and a duty.
All the Best.
Ron Miller.
