For a few years I've been concerned about how political thoughts had become beliefs. Why else would sensible men and women who represent us stay locked in partisan stalemates instead of working together to solve the myriad of problems that we face.
Today my concerns have been justified by our President. His thoughts become his tweets, his tweets become his beliefs, and his beliefs seem to become his reality. Unfortunately, because he is our President, his "alternative fact" based reality effects the workings of our government, and, as Senator Sanders points out, America's standing in the world. The paradox is, I think he wants to make our government work but he seems to be getting in his own way.
My cartoon today is where my thoughts went after reading Dana Milbank's It's the Truth According to Trump, Believe It!.
