At last
“ At last, our National nightmare is over.” Those words were not spoken by any recent Democrat after the blue tsunami. They were spoken by Gerald Ford on Aug. 9, 1974, after he was sworn in as president, when Richard Nixon was forced to resign in disgrace.
Disgrace is the one thing that Nixon and Donald Trump will share throughout history. Neither of these men’s names will ever be placed on the honor roll of American worthies.
When my wife asked if I could name one thing Trump had done as President that we as Americans could be proud of, I couldn’t think of one thing he had done that made me feel proud. I honestly feel just the opposite. I am embarrassed and ashamed of the things he has said and done over the course of his first and second term.
Now that he is the lamest of ducks and no longer politically relevant, it is time to come together and put back together all the things Trump has torn asunder.
The mandate is clear: Truth over lies, build up and repair instead of tear down and destroy, clear and transparent instead of a crooked and corrupt government, help for most Americans who are the poor and middle class and not catering to corporations and billionaires, rebuilding trust and cooperation with our neighbors (Canada and Mexico) and countries that are really our allies throughout the world, instead of kowtowing to Putin and other repugnant dictators.
The election has shown that a majority of Americans are willing to Make America Great Again. So you can keep wearing those MAGA hats, but please take down those sorry Trump signs.
