7. Daughter just mentioned a social media post re the passengers of United 93 who gave their lives to protect DC,

the White House and the Capitol specifically, from terrorist hijackers on 9-11 compared to the current occupant of the White House and his dangerous tantrums.

My daughter worked for HR at a United call center that day. She will always be affected by what happened and how people came together. Her call center was about to take a moment of silence after the word about United 93 came down. Employees had callers on the lines. Those people were asked if they would join employees in a moment of silence for their fallen comrades and all those passengers.To a one, every caller joined and didn't complain about a delay in getting their reasons for calling addressed. To a one, they joined in silence and support.

Now, all those people, all the families and friends of the brave people on United 93 have to watch as the president of the United States gets off on destroying part of the building those people, those civilians, those AMERICANS, gave their lives to protect.

Terrorism is terrorism, no matter who is doing it or what official position they hold. Donald J Trump is a terrorist, committing actions purely to hurt Americans, because he hates us; he hates this country.

That the GOP will not stop him indicates they share his hate or they are dismal cowards who will not defend our nation from the terrorist in the White House.
