Everyday I wake up, just like 65% of Americans, hoping that the nightmare known as Donald Trump in the White House was just a bad dream. Every day I have to come to the realization that a malignant moronic growth, the highest evolution of pestilential perversion, is making decisions that not only affect 300 million Americans, but billions around the world.

In just fourteen months, Donald Trump has taken a once-proud nation and sent it into a constant spiraling descent towards the abyss, with the nonchalant attitude of a greedy GOP Congress who are too busy counting their money to care. When did abnormal become normal? Yes, there is much outrage. Americans are angry, we’re marching, we’re protesting, but our efforts are falling on deaf ears.

Think of the abnormality we have had to deal with the past fourteen months. A president with absolutely no empathy, who has to rely on script notes to tell him how to act in dealing with families who just lost their children in a school shooting. A president who makes fun of being presidential while addressing a campaign rally crowd. A president who is suing a porn star for violating a non-disclosure agreement, stemming from an affair he had with her just after his son was born with his wife of one year. The list goes on and on and on a daily basis we Americans are saying, WTF?

Today, after my morning coffee, I turned on the TV and right away I heard news that Trump called to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his sham election win. Are you kidding me? Congratulating a murderous thug leader who just hacked our elections in 2016 and is looking to do it again this year, while also posing a threat to our country’s power grids, is like buying Jack The Ripper a beer.

The Republican Congress of course does nothing. They pretend to hear our voices but still stand idly by, looking and talking to each other, and for show they do the occasional political posturing in front of the camera, thinking that will suffice a while and keep the masses quiet. It won’t, we can only hope Mueller ends this presidency to forget with no regret, soon. — Frank V. D’Ambra is the author of the books Annihilation and The Pledge
