Trump's Legacy

Trump's "Them against Us" is a curse
Which only has made matters worse
As violence rules
In churches and schools
With patients attacking their nurse!*

*65% of nurses reported attacks

Violence started long before Trump. Morals have left, people isolated…that last one killed two people I care about. Community is no longer in play. I tried to find a public pool today and no lifeguards. Life is tough right now. Church is thriving…so glad. Well that is me!

I shudder to imagine the lengths Trump would go to to be President. There's a padded cell somewhere with his name on it. Yes, violence runs rampant! Good one, Rico! Janice

Life has become most unsafe in places where once life was thought most safe. The world has become topsy- turvy. When leaders rot, the whole structure rots ! Great thoughts, Rico ....

Rico, I love, love, love, when you show your serious political side! For this is quite serious and people listen to you. I just want to hug you.

although you've added your usual much- appreciated humor to this poem, rico, i do think there's a lot of truth to the fact that trump has brought out the worst in people and has made it acceptable for them to act out in any way they choose. it's awful!

Some try and achieve their aims with violence, who in their right mind would attack a nurse? Tom
