How the Mighty are Fallen (?)

Did anyone in our generation ever believe they would see a sitting United States President publicly insulting another human being left-right-center all the time, not to think of insulting a former President and a former First Lady of the same United States of America in one breath? 

Let’s analyze:

  • The President of the United States of America
  • Insulting a person.
  • Insulting a Former President
  • Insulting Barak Obama
  • Insulting a Former First Lady
  • Insulting Mrs. Michelle Obama!
  • Insulting a Woman
  • Insulting Barak Obama and Mrs. Michelle Obama together

PUBLICLY!!

A sitting President of the United States did that?!?

This is not political activism here, where the Writer castigates the personality of President Trump because he is a Republican. Although I admit he has done some pretty crazy things in my opinion e.g.:

  1. Causing Jimmy Kimmel (host of ABC’s late night talk show) to be suspended 
  2. Threatening to forcefully take over Greenland 
  3. Saying he could have “slept” with Princess Diana (my favourite person in history) ; apart from reports that he has also called Women Fat Pigs, Dogs, Slobs, and disgusting animals
  4. Publicly calling VP Kamala Harris a lunatic
  5. Actively and intentionally chasing a Nobel Peace Prize (lost to a Venezuelan Woman)
  6. Constantly Intimidating Journalists; recently telling CNN News Anchor Caitlin Collins that she never smiles and should endeavour to smile more since she is a woman while discussing about the Epstein files!
  7. Empowering ICE to break the law including unlawful assaults and killing of Nicole Good and Alex Preti an American Mother and an ICU Nurse respectively
  8. Appearing to bully Ukrainian President Zelensky 
  9. Accusing immigrants of eating American pet cats and dogs
  10. Having a Meltdown on Social Media at 1 am at Trevor Noah for his joke about him and Epstein Island 

I really have nothing personal against President Donald Trump. But his behaviour as a President of the United States, I feel leaves much to be desired. Trump Supporters, can you still defend him for what he recently posted about the Obamas? I unconsciously compare him to former US Presidents, like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, FDR, JFK, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, and Barak Obama. And I wonder, have the Standards Fallen?
