The White House Used as a Cheap Political Backdrop
I agree with MSNBC’s Claire McCaskill when she says her heart is broken by seeing the White House used as a cheap political backdrop. I don’t believe I’ve seen another president do such a thing in my lifetime. Can anyone else remember the last time a sitting president used the People’s House in such a way? And when he came out to give the rant of lies that was his acceptance speech, he looked like he was trying so hard to be like his boss, Vladimir Putin. Or one could compare him to some sort of Third World dictator who uses the trappings of power to try to stay in power. And at the end of Trump’s speech when all his family were lined up with the People’s House behind them, I threw up in my mouth a little because they looked like they were actually trying to present themselves as some sort of ruling family, just like the dictators and demagogues Trump admires so much. Finally Trump let everyone know that he intends to continue to govern as though he were president to only those who voted for him when he said, “We’re here, (in reference to him and his supporters) and they’re not (meaning everyone else).”
