[Blindtlk] Here he comes...

[Danielle Ledet]

I couldn't watch it all. I had had enough by the time the National
Anthem came on. James, in theory, what you say should work about all
of us working to make him an overwhelming success because then by
default we are all a success, in my experience, those who have been
made successful by others usually then turn up their noses at the very
persons who helped them come up. I am seeing little to no humility
anywhere nowadays. Humiliation is all I am seeing and hearing, and in
fact, that's how I felt when he made that comment about making Mexico
pay for the wall. As we know, Mexico is very poor. Why should the poor
remain poor and continually be forced into long suffering without end?
As an aside, let's hope that htose claiming to be poor, really are so.
That statement angered me much. That's all I want to say other than it
remains to be seen what good he will actually do and whether he will
keep his promises.
