Core of Decency

This is the second day and the second post on the topic of the election and DtheT. I will continue to refer to our president-elect that way, as saying President Trump out loud makes me wince. As I often called President Obama “Barry” when I was annoyed with him, Trump will remain DtheT. He deserves no more respect than that – unless he changes, which isn’t going to happen.

Yesterday I calculated that I will have 1,610 opportunities to write on this topic, assuming a once per day blog post. I intend to use every single one of them, so gird your loins, it’s comin’ atcha.

Back to the topic at hand: core of decency. President Obama’s and Secretary Clinton’s concession speeches were dignified and thoughtful. They both ask us to give DtheT a chance. Both President Obama and Secretary Clinton have a core of decency, no matter what. DtheT has no moral center. He is an opportunist of the worst stripe. He has taken advantage of people’s fears – inchoate tho’ they may be – and used that fear against the country. We will give him a chance, but we’ll be watching him very closely. There won’t be a honeymoon period, of that I am sure.
