What is president afraid of?

Posted July 08, 2019 1:00 am

As events unfold, I've often asked, "What are you afraid of, Mr. Trump?" We can apply "WAYAO" to just about everything: Why the hate for John McCain while fawning over Putin and Kim Jong Un? Why promise to show your tax returns and then refuse? WAYAO?

Why fire subordinates by texts and tweets instead of face-to-face? Why promise to show the full Mueller report and then refuse? While China spends billions in Africa building roads, schools, and hospitals, you refer to them with a vulgarity. WAYAO?

Why promise total transparency, then refuse to let anyone answer subpoenas? Why promise to reduce the $19 trillion national debt in eight years and then increase it by $1.5 trillion with your tax bill? Why try to keep all Muslims and Latinos out of the U.S. while praising white nationalists and neo-Nazis? Why state "she's not my type" when the 22nd woman accuses you of sexual assault? WAYAO?

After leading the "birther" movement against Obama and then watching John Jr. do the same to Kamala Harris, why no comment from you? WAYAO? I guess the birther doesn't fall far from the tree.
