Trump's Shameful Demeanour


If you are somewhat addicted to the ongoing and disturbing gong show that is unfolding at the White House you may wake up each morning wondering about what has happened overnight or what will happen today. Although most elected Republicans have essentially tolerated Donald Trump’s impulsive behaviour, there are signs that he is starting to lose support, and rightfully so.  As a contestant on the television show Survivor, Trump would be an easy pick to be the first voted off and probably garnering all the votes. While Trump’s conduct is alarming, it is more troubling to realize there is a sizeable segment of the population that is willing to tolerate his indiscretions. That merely serves to underscore the challenges in trying to restore America’s spot on the world stage.
This past weekend, Trump couldn’t resist badmouthing the Mueller investigation team and expressing glee with someone losing their job and a portion of their pension benefit only days before retiring. Taking to Twitter to relish in the firing of the FBI deputy/director, Andrew McCabe, was shameful. Mr. Trump, have you no sense of decency?
