(Trice Edney Wire)—After listening to Trump try to explain that he won in Iran while he couldn’t explain what he won, I was confused. I now know! Even while he was standing with the French President and other world leaders, it was clear that he had nothing truthful to report to the American people. All he seemed to care about was what he received while spending billions of our tax dollars, witnessing the deaths of so many Iranians, and several of our own soldiers. This was all about how much he wanted to prove that he did everything better than President Barack Obama! All intelligent people know he’s never come close to doing anything better than President Obama!
Why does he think people around him wanted to hear his message that was nothing more than a lot of confusion! He delayed his own Intelligence nominee’s hearing for what?. I guess he figured everyone already knows they can’t trust him for whatever reason he cancelled the hearing. We know he had pressured Congress on a bill to restrict voting even more. We are facing a crisis when he uses every possible thing his little mind can do to restrict voting! At this point, I don’t think he even trusts his MAGA folk to support him on everything as they have done in the past. I know he’s been losing a lot lately–even with his Supreme Court standbys ready to jump when he instructs them to do so.
Can you imagine a narrow mind like his calling Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson low IQ! He’d already done that to Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett! We know them, and know he doesn’t come close to their level in brilliance.
I don’t think the new Fed Chair, Jerome Warsh, made Trump happy the past week either by putting the interest rates on hold! In all of Trump’s bragging about the war against Iran and all he did to win the war he started—knowing we already knew Members of his own party weren’t seeing things as Trump was spewing untruths. He doesn’t have much to be happy about because of Georgia refusing to play around with changing its voting lines to insure they win more seats by gerrymandering.
As Senator Raphael Warnock said, Donald Trump is obsessed with power. He’s still taking all he can, including money he has unfairly taken from the taxpayers for his personal aggrandizement! Senator Warnock reminded us in the midst of all the confusion, embarrassment, and pain Trump has caused– not just to us as individuals, but as we, the people.
He is so jealous of President Obama’s 8 years of success. He hates Black women. He disrespects immigrants and the Pope! He doesn’t care about families other than his own. Somebody should try to get Trump to read Senator Warnock’s book “The Crooked Places Made Straight.” We heard Trump praise the Iranian leaders, and he let us know Iran gets everything out of the war he started, while the U.S. gets nothing!
I don’t know what could make Trump more humane, but we do know we had Barack and Michelle Obama to give us a period of hope. They walked that narrow path with no scandals. There’re still efforts of some to belittle Barack’s time for 8 years of sacrifice as he gave us hope that made us a bit stronger, a bit more determined to make this a better nation for all of us. Trump has tried to destroy all the good. It’s probably a lot to ask of God, but I pray the next leader of our nation will be able to bring back the hope our ancestors gave their lives to achieve.
We did have something wonderful happen this week—the grand opening of the wonderful Obama Presidential Center! Thank you, Lord.
