First of all, the people did not vote for Donald Trump.

As we all know, Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than President Tweeter.

Democrats and Republicans can take that argument off the table. Donald Trump is not a Democrat or Republican. He is a wannabe dictator.

It is time for the US House and the US Senate to stop pretending. Donald Trump's plan is to get around them and to get around the law. So far, he has been rather successful. Even as our country is driven into the darkness of fear.

But, we tell ourselves, "just wait until Mueller finishes his investigation", then Trump will be gone. But what really happens when Mueller turns over his evidence to the Congress? Do they act or do they sit on their hands?

The Congress has betrayed the people of this country. They have all fallen asleep at the wheel, it seems? They are not doing the job they swore they would do - defend the Constitution? They pretend that small violations of the Constitution do not matter.

They have divided our nation into political gangs and nobody knows what to do?
