A sense of wonder was a good thing. Now we stand with mouths open at each new atrocity, and breech of protocol, from the Trump White House.
In between putts, our President is turning the shining city on a hill into a dung heap. Profanity has its place, but that place is not the office of the Director of Communications for the White House. As part of the acronym, Trump promised to fight for transgenders. Now he will not let them fight for us.
Worse than his broken promise and shameful discrimination, is dishonoring and disrespecting members of our armed services. He did not develop a policy, and a plan of implementation, with the leaders of the military. He did not use reasoned rhetoric to explain a major change in policy. He pulled away the welcome mat with a tweet. Even losers on "The Apprentice" were fired face to face.
This is not normal. We must retain our ability to be shocked and dismayed. Trump is not just a bad president. He is a bad man.
