I was not surprised that our president had to listen to boos and hear the crowd chant, “Lock him up,” at a recent World Series baseball game. After all, hasn’t he perpetuated this kind of vulgarity in his shameful politics? Name calling, denigration and simple insults have become the Donald Trump norm—often cheered on enthusiastically by his followers.
As much as I hate to see this happen in our country, it’s pretty easy to see why. My mother would have simply said, “You get what you deserve.”

Note from KBJ: Half the country loves President Trump and half the country hates him. C'est la vie. We're going to elect him again in 2020, John, so suck it up.
