Holding Trump Accountable

To the Editor: 
I’m all for reasoned, insightful engagement, the intelligent discussion, and disputing of points made.
My intention in penning opinion is not to indiscriminately disparage, but rather engage in thoughtful, reasoned debate on the most monumental of issues, the unstable state of the presidency and our country.
It’s not like we can all sit down to tea and crumpets and discuss, pinkies poised, the merits of the Donald Trump presidency. There are none.
From where I stand, there is virtually nothing positive to say about the president, other than to assert that his chaos may be the spark needed to fire up a new awareness and find our better selves.
It’s not a handful of racist agitators and a bunch of crybaby cupcakes who are stirring America’s unrest. It’s the president. Not only does the impulsive president lack any ability to keep his powder dry, think of his “fire and fury” shot across the bow towards North Korea, but he is this country’s premier agitator.
Fear-mongering is Trump’s greatest talent. He purposely has been inciting and dividing our nation for two tumultuous years.
Some of Trump’s cabinet appointees represent interests gratingly antithetical to God’s people, but favorable to the corporate world, big pharma, Wall Street, and fossil fuel mega-billionaires like Charles and David Koch.
Now, so much is at risk: environmental protections, health care for the sickest and poorest, a living wage, free speech, a free press, gun control law, Wall Street regulation, and national security.
There’s no telling how much worse off we’d be without concerned citizens exercising their First Amendment rights by voicing opposition to discriminatory policies like the travel ban, Trumpcare and ending Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA).
If that’s how Trump shows his professed “love” for the Dreamers, by so casually and viscerally threatening their American dream, why would any one of us for a second think our own American dream is safe under a Trump presidency?
In the entire history of the United States, there has never been a more arrogant, vulgar, indifferent, and vindictive commander-in-chief in the oval office.
