...damned if you don't!
Meaningful, appropriate adage. Something to think about right now, because Trump will have to endure it when making some decisions that MUST BE MADE concerning the economy in the coming weeks.
For those of us who consider Trump to be, by far, the worst, most ignorant, least empathetic, classless boor ever to hold the office…
…it is time for us to rein in our contempt and be part of the solution, not of the problem.
The horror we face is two-fold: A very serious health epidemic…and an out-of-control economic meltdown.
Both need management…make no mistake about that. One cannot inappropriately be disregarded to give the other greater benefit.
I hope the decisions that are made to balance the competing interests are primarily made by reasonable, intelligent, thinking individuals…which means I hope Trump and most of his regular advisers relegate much of the decision making to minds less influenced by Trump’s need to be glorified. These are monumental decisions that must be made by experts, not by sycophants.
“Trump’s needs” should not even be a factor in the considerations. The health and well-being of the nation and the people who live in it ARE THE CONSIDERATION.
I, personally, would never want to be responsible for making the kinds of decisions that will be made in the coming weeks. But our elected leaders knew there would be days like this…and part of their jobs will be to take that responsibility.
I wish them the best of luck…and will try to cooperate. I hope everyone does. IT WILL NOT RESOLVE INTO A "THIS IS THE RIGHT THING/THIS IS THE WRONG THING."
Let's all (both sides) keep that in mind when judging...which we all will do.
Lots more to say on this…but…I’d just like to hear what the community thinks at this point.
