It will be interesting to see who is the first to tell Trump, we’ve had enough…you’re fired.

His “news conference” today in Trump Tower, pretty much solidified for everyone that he is the Clown I predicted him to be, in my 7/5/15 post, “Preparing For the Republican Circus“.

He went off-script and showed his arrogant ignorance. When pushed, he began defending the White Supremacists, almost citing their ideology.

Social judgement is in the DNA of every person. We perceive a person visually first. If we get past appearance differences, we move on to see what their convictions are regarding life. From there we either “pass” and move on, or get to know the person better. It really is that simple, for me at least.

The racist haters are not creating the bigotry oozing through the country. It’s always been there. They just don’t know how to say “pass”.

I had hoped that the silt of Racial History had settled at the bottom of the pond. It had shown some major improvements; the water was getting clearer.

But, then the torch-carrying haters went storming through the pond in Virginia, and the racial silt is now swirling around the country, making the waters cloudy…again.

Trump has made it impossible for us to allow him to be King for a Day any longer. The coming weeks will be an education in Civics. It’s amazing how many people, since his election, are taking an interest in how the political machine works…possibly the only positive thing from his legacy.

We must now turn our attention to Mike Pence. I want to hear from him, and soon. He’s about to take the helm, and I’m not sure he even knows how to steer the ship.

And who will be his crew? We’ve already witnessed “mutinies”, and new lines have been drawn. Whoever he brings into the swamp, I am sure they will not be as “colorful” as Trump’s cast of characters. They’ve been entertaining, but also very dangerous. I just hope it’s not milk-toast time.

The truth is that the USS America is in uncharted waters, and we don’t know what the coastline will look like when we land. Hopefully, we’ll see Lady Liberty on the horizon…Ellis Island and all.
