When I was born Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the President of he USA. However, the first President I can remember was Harry S. Truman. As a young boy I can remember the peaceful times of Dwight David Eisenhower.

I lived through the shock of the assassination of a young JFK, the Viet-Nam War with Lyndon Baines Johnson, the disgrace of Richard M. Nixon and the appointment of Gerald Ford.

I further experienced the election of a peanut farmer by the name of Jimmy Carter, an ex-movie star by the name of Ronald Reagan. Then along came a "read my lips, no new taxes" George H.W. Bush.

I lived through the scandalous presidential years of a William Jefferson Clinton. Then along came George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama. And today Donald J. Trump is the present POTUS.

I’ve said all the above because in my lifetime there have been many diverse and unique occupants of the White House, but I have never seen such hatred, disrespect, and bad-mouthing of America’s leader and commander-in-chief.

This duly elected President has been vilified by the media, the opposing political party and American citizens. Not only him but his wife (the First Lady) and his children.

I have heard him called every foul name and referred to the likes of an Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin, both despots who were guilty of killing millions (yes, millions) of innocent victims.

I have even heard a newly elected congresswomen shout out publicly, "we’re going to impeach the mot*******er."

What has President Trump done to be assailed in this manner? Did he kill millions of Americans? Did he close down American factories and send them overseas? Did he cause millions of Americans to become unemployed?

Did he raise federal income taxes so that Americans had less money to spend? Did he raise gasoline prices to $4+ per gallon?

No, he didn’t kill anyone, he encouraged businesses to move back to America, he caused millions of jobs to be created and caused the unemployment rate to be the lowest in 50 years. He is responsible for the largest federal income tax break in years putting much needed spending money in the average family’s pocketbook. Oh, and gasoline prices are below $2 per gallon and in some areas in the $1.75 range. We haven’t seen these kind of gasoline prices in the last 10 years.

So I say, "shame, shame, shame on you for bad-mouthing the President." Start thinking for yourself and quit being a Polly-Parrot for the likes of Morning Joe, CNN, MSNBC, and the likes.

See you next Sunday.
