I find it troubling that our new commander-in-chief is unwilling and/or incapable of accepting criticism of any kind. Admittedly he won the electoral vote and that’s all he needed to do (though I suspect more Americans voted against Hillary Clinton than for Donald Trump).

The new president’s staunch followers call all those that oppose him “crybabies.” Personally, I have never been a “crybaby” myself, just a man who points out a terrible mistake when he sees one. Electing a spoiled,self-aggrandizing, egomaniac that surrounds himself with flunkies, toadies, and other wishy-washy yes-men is a terrible mistake for any leader to make.That is because it allows our leaders to continue to live in an alternate reality.

Trump refuses to believe anything that his ego won’t allow him to believe. Instead he chooses to call even indisputable facts lies, while he attempts to rationalize what he prefers to hear as “alternate facts” (good job Kellyanne).

Thanks to his hard work, so far our new president has managed to alienate more than a few of our allies and motivate a plethora of the world’s most dangerous would-be terrorists to join ISIS and other terror groups that need anti-American comments to motivate them.

By the way, the pope and I believe Trump’s new policies on immigration are anti-Christian. A multitude of Christian churches believe as we do. Disagree if you like, but please soon wake up, Mr. President.
