I’m not trained either, but I have eyes, a mind, and common sense. There is something definitely not right about him. And there have been trained people that have said so as well. And I’m the same when I hear him. I can’t stand the cockiness. I can’t stand the lying. I can’t stand the destruction. To me, we have been presidentless for the last 6 years. He’s not a president. I’ll never consider him to be that.
He loves the perks, but hates the responsibilities of being president. He probably thinks that a CEO or a corporate boss sits back, lights cigars with $100 bills and gets bjs while firing employees.
To him and his ilk, the office was a chance to try out a few faculty lounge ideas. If they didn’t work, oh well. They have no idea of the real world consequences of their actions because at the academy, there are no consequences to writing a bad paper because there will always be an accepting audience somewhere.
His droning on and on about the 21st century and how you’re not supposed to chop off a head or invade a neighbor in this century is the height of rhetorical ignorance that flourishes in the academy. They think if you act nice, the people who hate you, will suddenly like you because an academic wrote a convincing paper.
This is why it was dangerous to give him a second term.
People, it’s only going to get worse when he turns his ire on the Americans who he feels are his true enemy, specifically the Tea Party folks.
I hear you, my FRiend.
