Last night, I watched President Trump’s address to Congress.
For those of you complaining about the boorish behavior of some Democrats:
1.) You are right. Several members of Congress acted like six-year-olds in a playground.
2.) You have very short memories. Do you not remember Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene screaming at Biden; or when Rep. Joe Wilson (R-South Carolina) shouted “You lie!” during one of President Obama’s State of the Union addresses?
3.) Look up the word hypocrisy. There is no way for you to claim the moral high ground when it comes to foolish behavior during presidential addresses.
I support the idea of greater government efficiency. I support plans to lower tax burdens on working Americans, but Trump’s credibility is overshadowed when he slips into unchecked egomania.
Last night, the President of the United States claimed to have one of the biggest “landslides” ever when it came to both the popular and Electoral College totals. That’s just fantasy. In November, Trump won the popular vote by a margin of 1.48 percent.
Hardly historic, in fact, not even close. Check out some other totals: Teddy Roosevelt (18.8 percent) Calvin Coolidge (25.2 percent) FDR (24.6 percent in 1936) LBJ (22.5 percent) Nixon 23.15 percent in 1972. Heck, even Jimmy Carter beat Trump with 2.06 percent.
In fact, Trump had one of the lowest percentages of winning popular votes in history.
Trump’s tendency to inflate or distort his accomplishments is to be expected. All narcissists act that way. But here was the deal breaker for me:
When the President of the United States taunts and makes fun of a U.S. Senator as “Pocahontas.” and Vice President J.D. Vance breaks out in laughter. Decorum? Are you serious? I know fourth graders who exhibit greater maturity.
Mr. President, the United States deserves a leader who is not so insecure that he feels the need to denigrate anyone who has the temerity to disagree with his point of view.
