Like most children, I lied to avoid punishment or uncomfortable situations. When I was older my Dad told me a man must stand behind his words. When one gives ones word, one must stand behind it and do what one said. One thing I am sure of, I changed myself and go out of my way to not threaten or promise something that I can’t or won’t do without giving my all. People who know me don’t ask for my opinion unless they want my honest opinion. Doing otherwise bothers me.

I am sure my Father would not have comprehended a President who flip-flops on major topics several times a day and vows to do something he won’t do. My Father was old school and would never consider voting for someone like Trump who would represent him and his country.

My mother taught me women are equal to men and to give them the same respect as a man. I think she was an early feminist and would be at home with today’s activism. I know she would have been heard for miles when Trump boasted about how he treats women and his affair with a porn star. They both respected the President of either party’s affiliation. Long after Kennedy’s death she found out about his cavorting and it depressed her.

Both parents made sure we were quiet winners and losers when playing games as with achievements in life. Bragging and taking credit for others achievements would have horrified them.

I know very few people who feel our current President honors the office even if they voted for him. Being President of the United States means doing what is best for 330 million Americans, leading free world, and projecting a great image of America. This President meets none of the criteria and is an embarrassment to two-thirds of the US and probably 90% of the world’s people.
