Trump Exhaustion

Trump has far outlived his remarkable election win exuberance. Polls tell us that Americans have had enough of this demagogue and I'm sure Trump would lose an election if held today and he will surely lose in 2020. For those who hope Trump will be out of office before the next election don't bet your house on it. Trump will not resign like Nixon and legal charges will probably take the rest of his term to come to the courts. Republicans still hold majority and seem unmoved by the illegality, or immorality Trump continues to subject America and the world to.

Democrats have a long list of abuses they want to go after Trump for, even after he is out of office. Certainly some things must be changed and erased and only Congressional and legal action can do that. We must be careful. We don't want revenge to be a priority in future America post Trump. There is just to much important work to be done.

Is Trump America's gutter? Can we finally admit that we have hit the gutter and must change our ways and thinking to climb out of the hole we have been digging for decades? Who will have the moral strength to lead us out of the gutter? I'm not convinced Americans think we are in the gutter. I think Americans will have to go through much worse human suffering before they see the need for change. That's sad.

Even the younger generation doesn't see how deep our desperate situation is, but they will. They will have to live with the negative effects of our selfish mistakes of the last few decades. We pass to them the crummy government we have built. Imagine the hardship they will confront with the government we have left them, even if they are serious about changing things, and there is no evidence that they are serious about changing things.

This will not be the century of America. Most of this century America will be wallowing in its own mistakes as other countries take leadership of the world. Our military might will not stop the progression of a non military change of world leadership. Will that new leadership protect and progress the freedom for humans as America has for centuries? It's hard to imagine.
