ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Have you had enough, America? It has been a long few months and an even longer few years in this, the Greatest Country on the Face of the Earth. At least that's what America has been billed as. But, lately, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone outside our shores who will pat you on the back and congratulate you for being an American. They may have a laugh or two at your expense or give you a sidelong glance, sympathize with you because you live in a country without a trace of leadership from the Oval Office.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party have managed to do what no one else was ever able to accomplish over three hundred years of American history -- they have managed to make a laughingstock of America and Americans all over the world. Crisis is supposed to be our middle name and under the present administration, crisis has become the Albatross that hangs around the neck of every American.

I just finished reading Mary Trump's explosive book about her Uncle Donald and it was certainly eye-opening to find out about the wildly dysfunctional family that made Donald Trump into the Frankenstein monster he has become -- an egomaniacal, empathy-challenged despot-wannabe who seems constitutionally incapable of making an intelligent decision for the people he represents -- ALL OF US. 

If you want to stay up a night or two read this book and find out what is behind Trump's dangerous behavior. You may not be surprised but you'll certainly be disgusted. Trump's daddy did some work on his son and the behaviors that we see as toxic are a direct result of his toxic upbringing in the Trump family, as Mary, a clinical psychologist, carefully explains.

There are now less that 100 days to the next election. As Mary Trump points out, these may be the most important three months of all of our lives.
