First, I must say that Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, was 100 percent correct in criticizing Trump for playing golf while Hurricane Dorian was threatening Puerto Rico, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, (not Alabama). Trump was elected to be the leader of 50 states, and they must come first; wasting time hitting a little white ball is for children and retired men who have no other responsibilities.
In addition, there was another mass shooting in Odessa, Texas. Reforming healthcare has been set aside. Domestic terrorism is the greatest threat to human life in America and must be addressed by all our elected officials; gun law reform is no longer a wish; it is a must. The opioid crisis remains a serious problem; responsible for deaths each year which are a larger number than that of the men and women lost in the war in Vietnam. Domestic violence is a serious threat to the American people, and the problem is growing. America is 17thin education and 15th in quality of life in developed nations. Income Inequality is widening as the “rich get richer.” North Korea is escalating its nuclear program. America must address serious immigration reform. Oh yes; climate change caused by man is threatening the entire world; denial will not make it go away.
Of course Trump replied in an angry tweet; blah, blah, blah. Now failed Senator and an even bigger failure as a presidential candidate, Marco Rubio, is defending his fuhrer. Rubio is struggling to find any shred of relevance in America.
“It’s irrelevant to me what the mayor of a city halfway around the world thinks. Bottom line is, he should actually be expressing concern for the Bahamas — which is part of the British Commonwealth — which has been wiped out.”
Okay “Little Marco,” I understand two reasons why you would defend Donny Boy. First, “you can’t handle the truth.” Second, like Trump, you are lazy and incompetent. You missed more votes in the senate than any other political candidate during the 2016 campaign. You believe that you are more important than the United States of America.
If you care about your nation at all, do us a favor and fade away from public view. You are doing a disservice to the people of Florida and our nation every day you remain in office.
Tell everyone; “the truth lives here.”
