Old white men, and men and women in the southern states, Texas, Indiana, and Arizona are celebrating the fact that they have a white supremacist soiling the sheets in the White House. Much of America’s racism, which was hidden for the eight years of President Obama’s administration, has come out of the shadows. These degenerates now have a leader behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office creating America’s policy.

The United States of America is the least respected nation in the developed world. World opinion has turned 180 degrees since the presidency of Barrack Obama. One man, filled with hatred and prejudice, has altered the face of our nation. Although for many of us Trump will never be accepted as our legitimate president, the world watches him and understands him to be the leader of our nation and the man who could have been the leader of the free world.

GOP politicians hide behind the Christian religious right. Although none of them are demonstrating the teachings of Jesus Christ, they claim to be devout members of one faith. Republicans have embraced the fascist beliefs of Donald Trump and his puppeteer, Vladimir Putin. Although they carry a cross and wave the flag, they are not patriots and refuse to serve the majority of Americans.

It may seem like a decade, but it was less than two years ago when most members of the once Grand Old Party denounced Donald Trump for his lack of experience, his lack of morality, and his racist rhetoric. Today they bow to every demand of their fuhrer, knowing that he is not an American in any sense of the word. This is nothing less than pure hypocrisy. I could never support a traitor to the former principles of my country.
