Disaster or Chaos (Our Country Under Trump)

Question – When has the executive branch of our government become all powerful? When has the President become all powerful and totally above the law of the land? These questions are broiling in my mind at this moment in history. We now have a President that is claiming, to all the world, that he is all powerful and no longer needs to abide by the laws of his own land. We now have a constitutional crisis in our land. We now have a President that feels he is above the law and no one can stop him from anything that he wants to do. Trump is not a king, nor an emperor, nor a dictator, he is only a very misguided and mentally disturbed man, who must be stopped by all the legal means available to this democracy.

As of this moment neither the Congressional, nor the Judicial branch of the American government have come to the plate and even tried to put a stop to the transgressions of the Executive branch. It seems all are afraid to act. Donald J. Trump’s bid for total control is going ahead with full steam and no stop signs on the road ahead. This President is like a runaway train and there seems to be no stop sign or road block in his bid for unconditional power and control of our country. Where are the checks and balances? Where are the elected officials that should be slowing this train and putting a stop to this travesty? I see at this moment only disaster in the making. Either some one must step up to the plate and put the brakes on this runaway train, or democracy as we know it, will vanish as did the Dodo bird back in this world’s ancient history.

I hear pretty words coming from Congress, but see no action. What I see are petty politicians wanting only to keep their jobs, get paid, get benefits, but not do any of the work. I see people that have been elected to the job of keeping this ‘ship of state’ afloat, but unwilling to patch the leaks. I see our type of democracy, where all the people have a say, being silenced. All I see is chaos and no one stepping forth to make the corrections. The future is upon us, will any step forth to save this ship of state? Will any say : ‘No One Is Above The Law’, and put the brakes on this run away?

I hope that there is a future for this county. I hope that our democracy survives this attack. But hope is not doing! Hope, plus a dollar bill will get you nothing. Only doing, only hard work, and only caring, will start to heal the wounds brought about by lawlessness. Only unity, caring, and hard work of all our citizens will start the healing process to keep this, our ship of state afloat. Only we the American People, all the American people, no matter what beliefs, color, or race, can put a stop to this sinking ship or crashing train named the United States of America!
