The nation pays tribute to former President George H.W. Bush after his passing and remembers his leadership with comments and stories from those who knew him best and others who admired and appreciated his service to our nation. His body now lies in state in the Capitol Rotunda for the people to view in person. It has been a humble week, so what does President Trump do?
He sets out and tweets a storm of personal attacks against Robert Mueller and others involved in the special prosecutor's investigation in order to intimidate and obstruct the investigation. The President is incapable of understanding the moment and a time for mourning the loss of a fallen leader. It is all about Trump and his ego and the sickness within him. America has no President who can console when necessary. Instead, America has a President who likes to try and knock people down and has no clue how to lift people up.
And the republicans in congress turned their backs on Trump's malignancy that has destroyed all norms of governing and America's compassion and kindness. Trump's fog has engulfed the republican leadership, made them cowards and reduced them to ditto head robots. The republican party of old stood up to President Nixon when it counted and discharged their responsibility to the country. Today's republican party is Trump's party to bend, submit and break and close their eyes to the laws they swore to uphold and defend.
The malignancy will only end when the President is impeached.
