Stop campaigning

President Trump’s rant about the “so-called” federal judge who ruled against his travel ban undermines his legitimacy as our president. In my mind, President Trump is now President Tweet. He is still campaigning for the office that he now holds. I don’t think he has any intention to actually lead the executive branch.

What are Americans going to do with tweets? You can’t eat them, mate with them or put them in the bank. We have gone from locker room talk to playground bully talk. The only difference is that the playground bully is now the school principal.

Now that Trump is president, what office is he running for? He needs to stop running and start governing the country. He now runs the system that he claimed was and is a disaster. Trump is suffering from post-partum political depression. His political baby won’t stop crying and he doesn’t know what to do. He is going to build a bigger crib and hire more nannies, and we are going to pay for it.
