Call me when Trump’s no longer president

One need only to read Trump’s Memorial Day message to understand what kind of trouble we are in. The man is not well. He is in the highest office of the land, but he is neither satisfied nor happy.
Those people who are actually running the government have to keep him happy enough to sign executive orders and the occasional bill. Whatever he has, it is never enough. He’s gluttonous, greedy, uncaring and unfeeling. He can’t know pleasure unless he is hurting other people.
Trump is pardoning convicts and felons, thus short-circuiting the justice process to put them back among us without having paid their debt to society. He is releasing criminals into society because they seemed to be favorable to him. Not content with the plethora of homegrown racists already here, he is importing more from South Africa.
He is a sad little boy who can’t seem to grow up. His administration will be a temper tantrum and the Republicans won’t stop him from weakening the country and leaving it susceptible and demoralized. A majority of white people (and Hispanic men) put him into office. This is their mess to clean up before it destroys them too. Leave me out of it. Call me when it’s done.
