There were times
when America was not great, especially as it expanded across the continent,
accepted slavery as legal and turned its back on bigotry of all kinds. But
America always aimed to right itself as its people and government affirmed a
belief in honesty, liberty, truth, equality and freedom.
But now Donald Trump is claiming to make America great again.
Distressingly, he acts based on none of these traditional values that America
believes and seeks to live by. Dishonesty, ego, power, lack of compassion,
class warfare, bullying and duplicity are all personal qualities that he wears
like a badge of honor.
What’s disheartening is that his values are being embraced
by his cronies, his followers and those who hold him in twisted esteem. He can
blatantly espouse values that are the antithesis of those that do actually make
America great, but they will still hang with him in frightening numbers.
