OPINION:
I am very perturbed by the news outlets that continuously admonish our newly elected president, Donald Trump, for every word he utters. Like all American citizens, President Trump has the right to think and speak his peace. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, members of the news media want him to talk like a politician and adhere to their way of thinking. It’s a pathetic commentary on the state of the media that they try to influence the public with their opinions while they deny us ours.
The Democrats and their henchmen in the news media demonize Mr. Trump and his supporters, thinking they still have the power to continue on Barack Obama’s path of destruction for our country. The rioters and protesters are mindless dupes the Obama administration supported and allowed to perpetuate ignorance.
As a 100-percent-disabled Marine Vietnam War veteran wounded in combat, I have blood in the game and hold in contempt all of those protesters and elected officials who refuse to honor our new president. The will of the people and Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” voted to make America great again and get rid of those who would keep us divided. United we stand; alone we hang.
