“We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .”
Unique among the family of nations, America was founded on the bedrock of Truth. Our improbable success as a fledgling Republic, arrayed against a host of hostile and powerful monarchies, was due in large part to the power of that Truth and our predecessors unflinching dedication to defending it.
The intervening two and a half centuries have seen several world-wide empires come and go, brutal dictatorships rise and fall, competing ideologies crumble under the weight of their own fallacies. All the while, guided by the strength and adhering to the veracity of those founding principles, America has risen to its current unique and indispensable position among the nations of the World.
Can you imagine a World where international relations are dominated by the moral code of Putin’s Russia? Where defenseless citizens are left to the tender mercies of thugs like Kim Jong Un and his band of assassins in North Korea? Where peaceful citizens demonstrating for basic human rights are met with iron fisted terror and repression as happens every day in Bashar al-Assad’s Syria.
If you have been following Donald Trump’s words and actions for any length of time you will recognize the scumbags listed above as some of his favorite tyrants. The current leader of the Free World, OUR COUNTRY – founded on the noble ideals of Truth, Justice and basic Human Dignity, is by his own repeated admission, more comfortable with the words and deeds of some of the most corrupt, brutal and bloodthirsty dictators of this (or any other) century.
Trump is doomed.
I can’t tell you exactly how or when it will happen, but I know for certain that he will not complete even his first term in office. Why? Because we are a Nation built on Truth. All of us, Republicans, Democrats, Libertarian or Tea Party member value Truth and Honesty above all else.
Trump has conclusively demonstrated that he has neither respect for the Truth nor any concept of its inherent power. No matter how he and his cronies try to spin it, his presidency will inevitably face the consequences of that moral failure.
The only question of any import is how much damage his ignorance and ineptitude can do to our Nation and its standing in the World before the TRUTH catches up with him.
