Stuck in the mud
It isn’t Donald Trump spewing racism, hatred, bigotry, sexism and xenophobia as he speaks about returning America to greatness that I find so upsetting. What’s sad and discouraging is that so many people agree and applaud him.
Where we once aspired to be the shining beacon of human ideals, he and, more important, his followers would now have us mired in the mud of mendacity.
