How Low Will He Go?

11 Comments

I’m so saddened by Donald Trump’s latest misogynistic statement.

This one was about political rival Carly Fiorina.

Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?” Trump reportedly bellowed while watching his Republican presidential rival on the news. “I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?

What saddens me is that many people will either laugh and/or embrace his comments because they will use the excuse that it’s so refreshing to hear someone NOT be politically correct.

There’s a huge different between not being politically correct and being rude, mean, obnoxious, and stupid.

And while this Tweet from Carly Fiorina is from when Trump insulted Megyn Kelly for her tough questioning after the first debate, her message still rings true.

  1. Terrifying and embarrassing that he could be the next president. Can’t even imagine…. He’s like Putin!

    1. The tweet is right on point. However, I am surprised and disheartened that there still seem to be no negative repercussions to him as he gets lower and lower. Carol, you are absolutely right – he is like Putin!

    2. Scary to imagine three narcissistic ‘leaders’ like Trump, Putin, and Kim with their fingers on the nuclear bomb button. 🙁

        1. Just finished David Baldacci’s THE TARGET that has insights into (Kim’s) North Korea — its political, social, and economical corruption and atrocities. Awful, simply awful.

    1. I’m not really sure why so many people are enthralled with him, Lorraine. His comments aren’t “refreshing” to me, but I am guessing his followers revere his bluntness.

  3. Unfortunately, I think as a reaction to overly PC trends, our culture is at best tolerant of (if not in praise of) the rude and outspoken. I am tired of rudeness being excused with phrases like “just being honest”, “not to be rude, but…” Tact, courtesy, and politeness should be valued more. Thinking before you speak and asking yourself, “Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?” and refraining from speaking if it does not meet all prongs would make this a much more positive, kind world.

    1. Excellent thoughts, Joanne. I first read about those three questions in an interview with Fred Astair decades ago. Wise words regardless of who said/says them. 🙂
