Considering all the machinations that we’ve experienced since 2016, I’m actually thanking President Donald Trump.

His reputation, his fakery, and most of all his enormous lies have led to an avalanche of women successfully seeking and winning governmental positions.

Their victories will hopefully facilitate an opportunity toward returning the United States Congress into a truly representative voice for all of the people.

The male bastion of power is narrowing, evolving into the true meaning of a free society honoring the “rights” of all individuals, all creeds and all persuasions.

It is without question that this president has a history of calumny, misogyny and ultimatums showing a propensity for choosing subservient individuals to do his bidding rather than seek highly regarded professionals for positions of great power. He literally plays games with people’s lives. The latest example is the Jeff Sessions disaster, showing loyalty is a one-way street with this unprincipled uncaring president.

The president attacks all forms of the media with his self-pitying refrains, he uses former President Barack Obama as a ploy and he denigrates fellow Americans with impunity.

Unless checked, this chaotic administration could continue on a path towards a plutocracy or dictatorship. Mr. Trump demonstrates this with his pretentious declarations, facetious remarks and manner of seeking subservient lackeys to do his bidding.

Fearmongering has replaced transparency and truthfulness in the Oval Office. We now have reason to ask, who does this really president serve?

Marty Weixel

McCandless

Note from KBJ: He serves the American people, Marty—even those who didn't vote for him. We're going to elect him again in two years. Suck it up.
