love-hate relationship
Thu Jul 13 14:14:03 EDT 2017
Heard on the radio:[Donald Trump] wants the media to love him, and that's why he hates them.
Donald, if you want the media to love you, tell the truth! You've been caught telling us lies over and over. Now sometimes, you don't know what the truth is. Given your present position, that bothers us even more; we (not just your countrypersons, but everybody on this planet) need you making decisions based on facts - factual facts, not what you hear (or mishear) in your bubble. We need you to respect science. You need to respect the law.
And stop making promises that are beyond the ability or control of the President. You are not the ruler of the Earth, nor of the markets. You can't make policies that will preserve the jobs of people whose products are not competive or viable. You can't wish away climate change. The President is not the chief ruler, but the chief subject; you are here to do our bidding.
And being rich doesn't mean you are smart. (Just watch the drivers of expensive cars....)This country might do really well with an autistic President - someone focused and principled.
