Yearning

We yearn for,

• “These are the times try men’s souls” (T. Payne)
• “Human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected.” (G. Washington)
• “We hold these truths to be self-evident . . .”
• “We the people of The United States of America . . .”
• “Four score and seven years ago . . .”
• “We have nothing to fear but fear itself.”
• “Ask what you can do for your country.”
• “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’
• “I have a dream.”
• “There’s not a liberal America and a conservative America – there’s the United States of America.”

Now, choosing pebbles from a gravel pile,

• “Carry ‘em out on a stretcher”
• Mocked a handicapped man.
• “The beauty of me is I’m very rich.”
• “I just start kissing them. . . . Grab them by the pussy.”
• Haiti and African nations are “shithole” countries
• About rioters at the Charlottesville white supremacist and neo-Nazi “Unite the Right” rally, “You also had people there were very fine people, on both sides.”
• “Everybody loves me.”
• “I am a stable genius.”
• COVID 19 in America is “totally under control,” “going away,” “even without (a vaccine) it goes away”
• When Peter Alexander asked what Trump could say to Americans who are afraid, “I say you are a terrible reporter!”
• Bragging
• Mean
• Rude
• Insulting
• Name-calling
