I have never been a fan of 45. The reason is simple, the origin of my dislike is clear. He takes the thing that I value most, the thing that speaks my innermost secrets, conveys life and death, healing and forgiveness, and he spits it out like rotten caviar. He has no regard for the power of words.
Words require thought. One must carefully choose the little gems, rolling them over, chipping away at the rough parts to reveal the beauty before they are thrust into the world. His words are not vetted in such a way. They are hurled and spat, leaving bits of white spittle in the corners of the mouth as they leave their remnants hastily behind.
Words bring life. Words can also bring death.
Proverbs 12: 18-19 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.
Mere words can thrust nations into battle, the lives of millions in the balance. For some, his words feel like freedom. He speaks his mind. He says pussy and fuck and the Christian brothers and sisters don’t bat an eye. If I say pussy or fuck, my Christian friends will ghost me and pray for me and politely turn their children’s gaze away from me. For some, his words speak their innermost desires. To make America great again. To make America whiter, prouder, richer. No more living off the government you good-for-nothings. While the social security and disability checks of the great white masses are being cashed to buy funny red hats and Confederate flags.
Even my words are affecting some. Some people are becoming angry, some are nodding in agreement. There is power in that, but imagine the power when your words are heard by the entirety of the world. When every human within the range of a broadcast can hear the words “fire and fury like the world has never seen.” To yell “fire” in a crowded movie theatre when there is no fire will get me arrested. To yell “fire” to the entirety of the world will plummet us into a nuclear war the likes of which, he is right, the world has never seen.
Revelation 20:9 And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
For some his words lit a fire inside of them, a call to arms, to lift up the bayonets of the past revolutionaries to battle the evil tyrant oppressors of the world. To some his words unleashed the cries of a million grieving mothers, holding the American flag wrapped up in a triangle, a sad, barren replacement for the lives of their beloved children.
For me his words filled my soul with sorrow. His words do not reflect mine. His words are harsh and mean, careless and cruel. His words do not promote life. They promote fear. Upon hearing his words, I felt myself cower inside. War is coming.

Ha…I’m so loaded up on massive steroids, I first thought 45 was some rapper I was unaware of! Yes, and if I lived in Guam, I sure would be extra terrified about now!! You’ve worded your thoughts in the perfect way!!! One thing if you or I says something crazy… All I can say is we all need to be praying big time and it broke my heart thinking of what I now feel will be happening soon. God bless the armed forces!!! I think my stomach stayed in knots the whole time my son was in the Army, I can only imagine what other Moms, Dads, Sisters, Brothers are mentally going through right now about their loved ones in the military. I was taught to “choose your words wisely” too.

Prednisone always makes me feel like I want to jump out of my own skin much like watching the news and imagining nuclear assault. You must be so proud of your son and I thank him for his service and you for raising such a good man. I know there are good men and women out there that will wage these battles for a foolish president. He’ll use them as a shield to protect his own need for power and control.

I didn’t like him before he was 45. But back then I could ignore him, not watch his TV shows, didn’t care what he did. Never ever thought he’d be #45. He is disgusting and an embarrassment, but that’s not the worst. He’s dangerous to all of us, those that like him and those that don’t. Even dangerous to those that don’t know who he is. Nothing seems to stick to him. He can behave as he wants and his supporters don’t seem to care. Yet. But, sadly, we will all have to care as he careens, with us in tow, toward war.

It boggles the mind how his indiscretions are overlooked and even defended. Ignorance is bliss until your child has to go off to war
