These are words one cannot imagine would be uttered from the leader of the free world.
They should be. Accusing President Obama of wiretapping his phones and then making a big deal about it – in lieu of actual facts – is more than a little disheartening.
During the election cycle President Obama mostly stayed on the sidelines when it came to comments regarding President Trump. Now it is more apparent that he should not have. The President is not currently President because he ran a campaign based on truth and honesty and integrity. President Trump is President because he ran a campaign based on deceit, corruption, and lies. President Trump’s continued assault on the free press for reporting accurately the information as it becomes apparent further paints his words as skewed in truth, inaccurate, and generally deceptive. And as this continues to move forward – the Presidency of the 45th – it appears this is unlikely to wane. This is perhaps the biggest issue.
Last anyone looked there is a new President in office. Attacking a former President who did more for the underprivileged, the climate, our education, and general rights generally, is appalling. It is however utilizing the play-book which allowed for President Trump to become President. Pander to the extreme right, drum up support from those who cannot utilize reason in a rational manner and stoke the flames of fear.
There is no honor in the words coming from President Trump’s mouth. There is no integrity from what he is saying. Ask Preet Bharara.
A man with the CIA and FBI at his disposal has many tools before him. He needs to utilize a few.
Starting with something most learned when they were just starting to play with and share some toys. Some words that two-year-olds learn. Two words. And then why.
I’m Sorry.
