It is not kind, it is not gentle, it is not compassionate but it is far-reaching and “rule of law” does not apply here.
What we’re seeing now is nothing different from his first term where throwing “bans” like hand grenades was the norm and half-thought out ideas reigned supreme. Legality was and is nothing that he’s concerned about but coming out on top as the “most powerful man on the planet” is.
Who cares about the Constitution, checks and balances, and if it’s legal or NOT! Anything that stands in his way has got to go is his motto.
Scary? It is but the 47th President marches to a different drumbeat. He has lost sight of “government of the people by the people and for the people.” Does it ring any bells? Running, even if it means running in place, makes up his daily existence and coming up with new “bans” in the early morning hours seems to make up his presidency. Notwithstanding shock tactics, drama, theatrics and “lovefests” with dictator types and you’ve got the whole picture and not a pretty one at that.
Add Elon Musk to the whole kit and caboodle and you’ve got disaster in the making. Remember him? The Tesla CEO, Jack of all Trades and more recently lover of all things “right wing” which led to the Hitler salute that had the world sitting up and taking notice? He has toned it down, more specifically the salute of the “Sieg Heil!” variety, it’s now a watered-down version, more like the Queen’s wave with a smile to match but he’s not fooling anyone!
Where is all of this headed? Your guess is as good as mine but if you’re waiting for “kinder and gentler” to return, don’t hold your breath! It has flown the coop and if you think it’s “bad” now, I think it will only get worse.
Dictatorship in the making? What do you think?
Time to put on my shoes and go get some fresh air!
