A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt

There are many men who feel a kind of twisted pride in cynicism; there are many who confine themselves to criticism of the way others do what they themselves dare not even attempt. There is no more unhealthy being, no man less worthy of respect, than he who either really holds, or feigns to hold, an attitude of sneering disbelief toward all that is great and lofty, whether in achievement or in that noble effort which, even if it fails, comes second to achievement.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)
Speech (1910-04-23), “Citizenship in a Republic [The Man in the Arena],” Sorbonne, Paris

This picture of The Idiot Trump in office exemplifies his unfitness for that office. I was stopped in my tracks by the disgusting sneer on his face as he stood by enlarged photos of the Southern border. This exposes the showman and unserious tv producer mentality still at play as he bats at VP Harris with the same unwarranted trademark smugness.

He cannot be allowed into the White House ever again.
