I honestly think our President is surrounded by bad or incompetent people who are giving him bad information and bad advice. And they won’t let critics near him. Blondi is, I believe, incompetent. Maybe she’s right now, but when you claim to great fanfare to have mountains of evidence including hundreds of videos, and then roll out with poof! nothing here! that’s either stupid or malicious. Was she right then, or is she right now? That’s what bugs me.
Praying hard for a switch-up in this terrible situation.
I’m still optimistic for the President to turn this around, somehow. Unfortunately, a friend of mine, who I convinced to vote for President Trump last November on THIS issue, is beside herself and very angry at me. Her niece was sexually assaulted by a prominent man in her small town, and it’s been difficult to get justice... the local police are dragging their feet... she sees this (rightly or wrongly) as similar. It’s personal to her, and I bet to a lot of other folks, too.
President Trump... please! I love you and what you have done for this country. Please please get out in front of this instead of brushing it away! That isn’t helping!
A more detailed personal story.
When I was young I had a boss who hated me.
While he was firing me he told me exactly why he did it—and what he believed I had done wrong.
I hated his guts at the time—but it was an amazing “teaching moment”.
Like all humans I had both strengths and weaknesses—and from that point in life I learned to focus on tasks that made my strengths work for me and kept my weaknesses under control.
