STATEMENTS by the President

It seems to me that the utilization of TWEETS for distribution of Statements by the President deminishes the seriousness of the words and the Office of the President. Instead of Trump "tweeted" something, it should be described as "a statement released by the Office of the President today.....".
We are allowing every other Party Member off the hook as they imply "it's just a tweet". I believe the public tends to treat such statements no different than those of celebrities looking for attention or 15 year olds tweeting to get attention. I saw a Congressman respond to a "Trump tweeted something" question, only to respond "I don't have time to keep up with his tweets". The question should have been "The President issued a statement today to the U.S. citizens with worldwide distribution .... what would you like to say to your constituents in response?"


The Office of the President, the President, and our Country's standing are being diminished by trivializing such statements. we should not allow the commercialization of distribution technology impact the seriousness of our political dialogue.

After 45 years in business, I learned one thing about

Rich People. When things are not going well financially
they tend to ignore the reality of their situation. They prolong facing the fact that their standard of living cannot be maintained. They will drive themselves into debt with or without a rational expectation of recovering. Keeping up appearances is vital to his wife and children. Eventually, when they can no longer borrow money they will do whatever is necessary to put off the day of reckoning. They stop paying their bills, their employee payroll taxes, and take out what money that does come in. Why? It's simply the inability to face failure. When desperate enough they'll burn the building down, steal from their partners and customers, Borrow from the Mob, even kill their spouses for the insurance. Sometimes even bail by taking off or taking their own life.

I think Donald Trump got in and remained in the POTUS race because the Russian Mobsters could effectively put him out of business. He is simply doing whatever he has to do to keep game going in supporting the Russian Crime Regime and their Don of Don's, Putin.

He is trying to save his family's business. So, the next time you hear or see his political professional wrestling match drama, know he is simply doing what he has to do to survive.

This saga will not end well. As we all know, Mobsters ARE going to get their money. No wonder the bookies offer odds that he won't serve out his term.

So where do we go from here?

When will we individually, as a community, and as a Country finally admit that we are not living up to the proposition that we are all created equal?
We can't blame our prejudiced beliefs on heredity (see article below) so that leaves environment.
We have been forced fed a never ending lie that we are better than or that "they" are less than our entire lives.
Perhaps it is time to personally embrace equality, bring it to our communities, and demand it from our leadership.
