Trump Is Despised, Both Domestically and Internationally, But Does that Concern Him?
Almost every day, Trump does something that is abhorrent to the world’s people, whether it pertains to cruel and self-defeating treatment of immigrants, violations of the rule of law, the destruction of the environment, the annexations of other countries, global economics, and, most often, using his position as U.S. president to enrich himself illegally. For all this and more, he is hated around the globe.
But does that bother him? I’d have to guess no.
He’s proven that he can act illegally and unethically, and that he can do it with impunity, and it seems like that’s the only thing of importance in his sickening life.
He can only be stopped if the U.S. congress would simply hold him accountable for his crimes, but sadly, fruit flies have more backbone.
So what about the American people? We detest him, to be sure, but under our Constitution, we’re only as strong as the people we elect to represent us.

Like the fellow pictured at left, my father fought in WW2. Dad didn’t live to see the Trump administrations, and I wish I could have gotten his take on what’s happening now, vis-a-vis what he risked his life for, bombing well-protected German oil refineries.
It’s good to see that the Catholic Church leadership is so rooted in humanitarianism, continuing along the path of Pope Francis.
Apparently, the woman here is a “95-year-old mother, Mavis, in Redding, California. She didn’t like Hitler and she doesn’t like Trump!”
I notice that drivers passing by political protests are generally quite supportive of the viewpoints being expressed. Yet, as show here, that’s not uniformly the case.
An old friend writes: Even Nantucket had over 600 people march yesterday. This was definitely my favorite sign.
While I don’t encourage vandalism, it’s hard not to appreciate clever (and non-permanent) alterations of traffic signs, like the one here.
Utility-scale solar is a good thing, but a 20-MW array isn’t going to serve 40,000 homes. That’s 500 Watts/home, where the standard rooftop installation is 6 – 8 KWs.
