Comment from Thomas Bowling
Th rating is based on grammar and no spelling errors. Other than that, your writing meandered all over the place. It not understandable. You say America was already great. It was not great during the Obama years when we had a president who bowed to dictators and caved in the face of adversity.

Thank you for reading. I disagree, but that is obvious. I prefer Obama to a lying cheat who uses the presidency to enrich himself. Ask the contractors who were not paid for their work and the people who were swindled by Trump University how great Trump is.
Comment from Mabaker
Woops! Somebody doesn't like Mr Trump.
I live in Australia and our voting system is different to yours, but whatever way they get the top job, they should be worthy of the honour. Regards Mabaker

No, I don't like him. I think he is totally incompetent and unfit. Thank you for reading and for your review.
Comment from apky
First off, thanks for a read with both content and context.
as so-called real Americans ~ precisely: who are the real Americans? Certainly not Trump. What all Americans should be aware of is that they are in the majority "immigrants" whether their forebears came in as criminals off the streets or jails of Europe, or minor administrators and deckhands, or human cargo in the bowels of ships. Are Americans scared that what they now see as "not Americans" will do to them what their forebears did to the true Native Americans?
Our politicians should be held accountable for their words and actions. ~ Again, precisely, and this is exactly the point Trump has carefully bypassed: he wants to kick out the so-called Dreamers, but hasn't got the balls to sign the decrees as he did when he was still all how-do-I-president-around-here-someone? Bypassed in the sense that he has hit the ball over to Congress, so that when Congress doesn't decide to kick the Dreamers out, it's Congress' fault; if Congress decides to kick these people out, it's Congress doing it, not CatastroTrump.
You're right - it's all about him.

I believe many are afraid that the new immigrants will make them the "natives" in the sense of the native Americans who were subjugated and marginalized by immigrants. Trump doesn't seem to have a clue how to govern so he tries to get Congress to do everything and get him out of having to do his job. Thank you for reading my ramblings and for your review.

Thank you so much for your kind review. This was just some thoughts I've been having since the election. I wouldn't know how to get it to a larger audience.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
When presidents are elected through social media and tweeting etc, then the word has gone completely mad! I feel for you because every time he speaks the economic market goes crazy and when you exchange money it's not funny! Well said, a good read, love Dolly x

Thank you for reading my rant/essay. I appreciate the feedback and the sympathy.
Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
A well reasoned out piece here. You final question though is very easily answered. you won't get them because they can't win. In order to get on, you have to know people and grease palms and so on. Anyone who is not exceptionally wealthy or from the elite has no chance. It just will not happen. Unfortunately.
All the best

Thank you for reading and reviewing my rant/essay. I appreciate your feedback. I really think that anyone decent who runs for office with the idea of actually doing good things would quickly become disillusioned. I think politicians have to make compromises and deals to accomplish anything at all. I don't think good intentions would last very long. And that is if there are politicians who actually have good intentions, though I do hope there are some. And it does take huge amounts of money to run a campaign, so any candidate becomes obligated to their contributors. I also saw a story that showed any politician is required by their party to spend a significant amount of time on fundraising so a big part of their job is raising money. They system is terrible but I have no idea what could be better and replace it.
Comment from royowen
Somebody made the observation of Trump, as not being wise in the ways of neither politics or diplomacy, to be told that one is being "unpatriotic" or
"Traitorous" for disagreeing with a line of thought or policy, seems to be a return to the days of "McCarthyism", which is most undesirable. He's used to running a business, were everyone cowtows to his every whim. Great article, well done, blessings, Roy

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your remarks. Trump seems to believe he can just tell people what to do and they are supposed to do it without question. That is a dictator, not a president. He seems frustrated that people don't just jump when he tells them to. I don't think he will ever get it.

He's a very funny individual
Comment from Thesis
Well said. I think your story will create a myriad of responses from a very broad audience. I would like to see many of the things you mention happen, and believe that the Office of the President is currently being disgraced by it's current occupant, and our nation is becoming the laughing stock of the world. If Trump wants to broker deals, let him go to the government accounting office, where he can negotiate contracts, not act like an imbecile, a liar, and an arrogant billionaire.

Thank you for reading and for your comments. I have gotten to the point where I'm not sure I want to hear what new is being reported each day.
Comment from dejohnsrld (Debbie)
A very well written commentary and one I agree completely with. We need to go back to two years ago and have a real election and a real president. Well done, my friend~Debbie

Thank you for reading and for your feedback. Unfortunately, we cannot go back. At this point, we have to survive and hope we can do better next time.
Comment from doggymad
You are saying what the world has been thinking since the Inauguration my friend.
The story seems to be the same the world over. We go for damage limitation with our fingers crossed.
Our country too is up to it's neck in problems.
Many thanks for sharing this
hugs
