Great leader?

I couldn’t believe what I saw on TV: President Trump’s entire cabinet giving thanks and pledging allegiance to the great leader, just like in North Korea. It looked orchestrated, and some of the participants seemed uncomfortable.

Days before, Alex Acosta, our new Labor Secretary, wrote an article in the Miami Herald trying to justify Trump’s decision to pull out of the Paris Accord.

Acosta is smart; a college professor. Why did he stoop so low and write all this nonsense? Just to please the great leader?

It’s sad.
