We're better than this
I was horrified watching the crowd's reactions to President Trump's speech last Saturday evening. The responses appear much like those displayed in a film by Leni Riefenstahl demonstrating the growing support for hatred in Germany during the 1930s. Her film is entitled, "Triumph of the Will." I am deeply troubled by our president, who feels free to spew odious remarks and continues to vilify the media, the Democrats, Sen. Schumer and anyone else who does not agree with him. Even more, I am frightened by Americans who respond to his lies and revolting declarations by chanting hateful agreement. Come on, people, aren't we better than this?
