Yesterday was September 11. Briefly, the day was acknowledged, by the media, with snippets of the ceremonies held in New York City, DC, and in Pennsylvania. As if September 11 was no longer THAT newsworthy, the media permitted it a 15 minutes of fame moment, but as is usual, the glamour was no longer, prime time, and all we got was a quiet remembrance of a day that both ended the lives of thousands and changed the future for millions. September 11, 2001, was history, a subject we often fail, as a country, to study, let alone learn from. Interesting to wonder if in the future, September 11 will be known for a Hurricane named Irma, rather then “the day the music died," as the lyrics go for the song ‘American Pie”, by Don McLean.
Trump and his wife Melania, he with even a more somber sour puss on his face, and she hidden behind another expensive pair of sunglasses, with her ever ready pout, stood in front of a microphone, addressing, I suppose, the nation, albeit, even Trump’s September 11 appearance received little attention, to let us know a few things. To paraphrase Trump, he told the audience that September 11, should remind us of the evil things out there (I guess out there was a reference to the rest of the world). Trump, ever the so called populist huffed and puffed and added , but we are America and tried to assure us that September 11, will never again darken our doorstep!
And that is when for the one-hundredth time I almost threw my lamp at the television set. Trump, the Putin puppet, the family man whose family business has been supported financially by Russian oligarchs, the man who embraces the good Nazi’s, White Nationalists, the KKK had the audacity to tell America that the EVIL IS OUT THERE! Trump has brought the EVIL into the White House, He has brought the EVIL into his Cabinet, he wines and dines with EVIL. I am not naive, (Trump IS a con man) and God knows too many red, white and blue Americans seem to be, BUT once again, Trump stooped low, and he seemingly got away with it, once again. A man whose election was bought and paid for by Russia, with the collusion of the leadership of the Republican Party, stands in front of America on September 11, 2017, acting as if HE is the good guy communicating that the EVIL is out there is just one sad day for this nation, and one day too many he still sits in the Oval Office.
