How long will our elected officials sit back and allow the president drag our beloved country through the mud and openly challenge the countries that have supported us in the fight against the enemies of the free world? It sickens me when I see President Donald Trump courting leaders of Russia and North Korea and other enemies of the free world. I used to think that we had, by virtue of the Supreme Court and elected U.S. senators and representatives, elected to ensure that no one single department could strong arm this country into an undesirable position.
Whereas I don’t disagree with all of his actions, he scares the heck out of me with his apparent complete disregard of our Constitution. One great decision does not make a leader great. While we do have the power of our right to vote, let us use that right to get people into office that will not be afraid to face up to him.
