The First Family

It’s a gusher of criticism, humor, tweeting, frustration and vitriol that comes in response to Donald Trump. But when a comparison is made between the Trumps and the Obamas, the Trump pair becomes almost a parody of what the Obamas taught us to expect of a First Family.
No intellect and little compassion show in any of the speeches or tweets in Trump own words. His unmanaged words are clumsy, adolescent, mean-spirited, narcissistic utterings. He is fully unpresidential and dangerously unpredictable.
Melania, sad to say, appears more a trophy than a mate. She stands beside Donald. And stands and stands and stands, most times looking like she was on a fashion runway.
Three more years of this is like the USA standing still or backing up as the world moves forward. Laughing wildly at late night show Trump jokes no longer has any real meaning. We must wake up and pressure our legislators, talk to people, educate ourselves. Let action be the sign that we give a damn.
