I don't like what I'm seeing

As the article states, the plan comes as a surprise to many in government. Hard to keep up with PT Barnum.

The plan is for tents, as far as I can gather from a report in the NYT.

Trump is only a politician. Hating Trump the person with such perseverance after eight years going on twelve is a distraction. JMHO.

@Daniel said in I don't like what I'm seeing:

Trump is only a politician.

This is mistaken imo in that it downplays his ability to have an impact. Clearly he’s having a huge impact. Certainly, he’s not acting alone, and I like what @Rontuner said (if my memory serves, it was Ron, apologies if I’m wrong) about not just saying “Trump’s x” (like, Trump’s freeze on federal funding..) but instead saying “the republican’s X” because this acknowledges that it’s not just trump but all the politicians who are enabling him…. But the fact remains, he is in fact doing things that impact the country and the world in very negative ways.

As @ShiroKuro says, the impact that a president of the United States has is far-reaching.

I don't hate anyone; it's just not in my DNA. The emotions I'm feeling are grief and fear. The fear is not so much for myself, but for the country.

Politicians I can handle but this cult leader thing is disturbing.
