No, it’s not fake news … it’s a fake president. It seems that our current POTUS was put in charge to demonstrate to the American people how apathy, resignation and not showing up at the polls can impact every aspect of our lives. Many wish this election was just a bad dream from which will will soon wake … in some ways, we already have. The marches (NCJ Daily, April 27), protests, letter writing, donations, hand-holding and overall support to change the criminal shenanigans going on at the White House indicate that our citizens are waking up and recognizing the need to protect our rights, to protect our Constitution, as well as to protect our planet.
Trump may possibly be the best wake-up call the American people have ever had!

Rita, you made my day with this insight of yours: “Trump may possibly be the best wake-up call the American people have ever had!”
Nothing good is going to happen unless the American people wake up. Had Clunkton won, the People would have gone to sleep again, just as they did when Obummer was elected.
Therefore, it’s better for the future of our country (not to mention the Planet) that Donald, not Hillary, was elected.
What a pass we’ve come to that either of them was a candidate!
