A New Level of Arrogance and Ignorance

Following the presidential election I vowed to myself I would do my best to be objective and give our new president a chance. Yet, within less than  two weeks after assuming the highest office in this country and the title of the "leader of the free world" Donald Trump brings a new level of arrogance and ignorance to the presidency.

Not only is it a new level of arrogancy but it appears a new level of ignorance. Reading the news this morning all I could see was just how arrogant and how ignorant Trump is. It would also seem he has no respect for the office he holds.

The first thing my eyes focused on was that he called a federal jurist: "a so called judge." Does he not respect anything? I have usually tried to refrain from utilizing profanity in my blog posts (not always but usually). However, the looming question in my mind now is: "Is he fucking crazy?"

To ban immigrants, revoke visas, stop refugees from seeking asylum, spending the weekend in Florida hosting two events that will benefit his businesses, including a Superbowl party, a draft plan to cut off food stamps for immigrants that could cause some U.S. citizens to go hungry and a directive he reportedly signed stating his female staff should "dress like women" is demeaning and simply out of touch with reality.

But, then again, it would seem he is out of touch with reality. In less than two weeks Trump's actions have alienated a good portion of the world, brought us closer to confrontation and made our nation less secure than it has been in years.

His arrogance is not just on display for all to see but extends to members of his own staff and cabinet. Perhaps a wall should be built ... one that contains Mr.Trump and protects not only our country but the rest of the world from his ignorance!
