I have been
staying away from the TV news since the election of Trump. I do selectively read the short clips on the internet
news just to keep up, and read the Portland
Press Herald – the major newspaper in the state.
There is
nothing I can change by hearing the tirades about Trump’s appointments, and I don’t
need the aggravation. It is what it
is.
Last night I
did not watch the farewell address by our twice elected President. I consider the two greatest Presidents of my
lifetime Lindon Johnson and Barack Obama – each for different reasons.
It just
seems sad and pitiful that such a significant President and great first family
should be replaced by the likes of Donald Trump; and that his accomplishments
should be attacked and nullified by the party of socially extreme Republican.
I keep busy
during the winter: there is snow to shovel and firewood to deal with; but in my
moments of reflection I feel sad.
I have years
and not decades left; and I just can’t carry this anger and regret with me
24/7.

I know how you feel. It's very hard for the both of us(David and I)to got things done without hearing something new that trump has gotten away with. It's everywhere. I'm getting tired of it all. I have gotten back to my painting again to find a way to direct my mind away from it.
ReplyDeleteEven if Hillary had won, I would still be sad to see him go, just because he was a good and honourable man.
