There is so much more I think about political strife in my country. Even though I don't listen to the news, so many ridiculous headlines pop up online, that it's impossible to ignore it. Everything he does and says should be deemed unbelievable, but no asinine thing he does surprises me. He has no morals, no concept of what it means to be a leader, but he's certainly leading America off the cliff into an abyss of turmoil. The lemmings who follow him are blind, deaf, and I'll stop short of finishing that thought.

Thank you, Lin. (Btw, I've been reading your more politically charged poetry and comments. I, too, have written some poetry about your sad excuse of a potus, and there will be more to come now that our countries are, unbelievably, in a trade war. I always knew that it was risky to be America's enemy. Never thought until now that it was risky to be America's friend!) Take care. Jim
