For the days when we expected our elected officials to behave with class, kindness, & common courtesy. I long for the days when our military, veterans, police officers etc. were respected & honored. Trump should have NEVER got away with calling John McCain a loser for getting captured.
I long for the days when being mean and making fun of fellow Americans was not tolerated & definitely not celebrated. Trump should have NEVER got away with making fun of Serg Kovaleski.
I long for the days that our country was respected by other countries. I am sad about how far this country has let the dumpster drag them down.
Please give me strength to get through the rest of this term.
