The shoe never drops

Everyday, I check out Trump's Twitter feed to see what offensive, inaccurate, or ignorant thing he has written that morning.

And everyday, I think, "Surely this is the comment that rallies Americans to see what kind of man we have leading our country."

And everyday, I'm disappointed.

I'm not disappointed because there's a paucity of idiocy or manipulation found in Trump's tweets and comments and actions or anything--because there's not--I'm disappointed that it doesn't seem to matter to anyone else.

Sure, it matters to my like-minded friends and family and politicians, and most of the media, of course.

But not to anyone else.

I'm thinking the other shoe is going to drop and Trump will be exposed for the man he truly is--whether exposing his racism (s***hole countries, fine people on both sides in Charlottesville, Mexican immigrants are rapists, promoting fake "Muslims are evil" videos), or ineptitude (announcing major policy changes without discussion or input from his experts: tariffs, opening a Jerusalem embassy, banning transgender individuals from the military) or misogyny (bragging about grabbing women by the p****, backing accused child molesters for Senate, dismissing credible charges against him for assault/harassment, paying hush money to women claiming affairs) or paranoia (Obama wiretapped Trump Tower, Mueller and the probe is a "witch hunt", "Spygate"), or out-and-out deception (too many statements to list--on Politifact only 16% registered as more than half-true).

And, everyday, as hard as it is for me to believe, that shoe never drops.

The GOP backs Trump as long as he tends to their agenda. Trump's supporters rabidly believe every piece of garbage he spews forth. Business execs love the money with which he's lining their pockets.

So the shoe never drops.

But tomorrow's another day.
