Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Eric Holder, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, George Soros, John Brennan, CNN, Maxine Waters, Robert DeNiro, Joe Biden – List of those receiving mail bomb attacks as of 10\/25\/18 AM<\/em><\/p>\n

A very big part of the Anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely false and inaccurate reporting of the Mainstream Media that I refer to as Fake News. It has gotten so bad and hateful that it is beyond description. Mainstream Media must clean up its act, FAST! \u2013 President Donald Trump Tweet, 10\/25\/18<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>The mail bomb attacks on high profile Democratic opponents is not the President\u2019s fault.\u00a0\u00a0 It is a product of the environment; of our time of polarization and divisiveness.\u00a0 We all know it.\u00a0 It takes two sides to have a fight, and while Democrats (including me) would place blame on the President himself, in reality both sides have engaged in an ugly fight.<\/p>\n

Ask Brett Kavanaugh.<\/p>\n

But there is also a time when we expect the President of the United States, our President; to step across the divide and, at least for the crisis, try to unify the nation.\u00a0 We are in one of the crises; two former Presidents have been attacked as well as a long list of those who have voiced their opposition to Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

But the President sees everything in \u201cus and them\u201d terms.\u00a0 It is the Trump trademark:\u00a0 when you get hit, hit back harder.\u00a0 The President can\u2019t \u201chit\u201d back against the bomber, but he can strike against those who might blame him for the environment.\u00a0 So, in this moment of national fear, the President has followed the failed path of his Charlottesville strategy.\u00a0 He allowed cooler heads in the White House to prevail for a moment, for the scripted call for \u201cnational unity.\u201d\u00a0 Then he got on Air Force One, flew to Wisconsin, and went right back on the attack.\u00a0 \u201cLock her up\u201d and \u00a0\u201cFake News\u201d were part of his rant last night and this morning’s tweet. \u00a0 \u00a0He even mocked “being nice.” But for the Grace of God, the Secret Service and the NYPD (and the rest) they could have all been dead.<\/p>\n

Donald J Trump does not respect the Presidency.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t understand the role of leader of the United States.\u00a0 And it\u2019s not just in this moment of domestic terrorism:\u00a0 last night the New York Times\u00a0<\/a>reported that the President continues to use unsecured mobile phones, disregarding the advice of his National Security advisors.\u00a0 The Times\u00a0<\/em>reports that Chinese and Russian intelligence are listening to his conversations, gathering information, and developing operations to influence the President using his own words.<\/p>\n

This is a President whose main campaign slogan was \u201clock her up.\u201d\u00a0 He claimed that Hillary Clinton, in using a private email server, violated US security laws and should be imprisoned.\u00a0 So a President who uses unsecured communications that he KNOWS is being tapped by foreign intelligence agencies is better?<\/p>\n

One line in the article, quoting Administration officials, is chilling.<\/p>\n

They said they had further confidence he was not spilling secrets because he rarely digs into the details of the intelligence he is shown and is not well versed in the operational specifics of military or covert activities.<\/em><\/p>\n

The President can\u2019t reveal secrets because he doesn\u2019t know them.\u00a0Another sign of disrespect for the Office; he won\u2019t even do the work required to protect the nation.\u00a0 And the unnamed Administration officials who \u201cleaked\u201d this story, said they did so not to damage the President, but to get him to listen to their concerns.\u00a0 He won\u2019t hear them in person, but he will \u201cread it in the Times.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

There are more bombs out there.\u00a0 As I write, they found a second mailed to Joe Biden.\u00a0 Lets hope they are all found, without loss of life.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tough day to be a Postal Worker.\u00a0 And every day is a tough day to be President of the United States.\u00a0 It is a complex role, one that Americans look to during times of ultimate crisis.\u00a0 In American history \u201clore,\u201d there is the belief that those who become President \u201cunprepared\u201d grow into the job.\u00a0 Harry Truman is the most recent example that historians cite.<\/p>\n

We are waiting Mr. President.\u00a0 Waiting for you to show that you understand the Presidency. \u00a0The first thing you can do is to show respect for the awesome gift the country has granted you.\u00a0 You haven\u2019t yet.<\/p>\n
