After reading Bill Press’ op-ed in the Dec. 29 Tribune, titled “A few of the things I hate about Trump” and watching “Meet the Press” Sunday morning about all the lies Donald Trump has told (over 15,000, at last count), I can’t help but wonder why people still support him.
Yes, the economy is good and unemployment is low. But, if I remember right, all these things started happening in the last few years of Barack Obama’s presidency, and he didn’t have to brag about it.
Some wise person said once, “If you tell the same lies over and over, people will come to believe you.” And that is what Trump is doing.
He is sly like a fox. And I don’t want anything to do with foxes.
He has separated the nation, and some families, like no other president in the history of these United States.
And in The Salt Lake Tribune Monday, the cartoon shows Father Time holding his stick while little Trump figures have banners showing 2020, 2022, 2022 and 2023. My only consolation is that at my age (94), I probably won’t live long enough to see this come to pass.
Otherwise, Happy New Year to everyone.
