text: Call me a bit 'old fashioned' but this senior citizen used to look upon the office of a country's leader as one whose occupant should represent with dignity the citizens he or she serves.  Unfortunately the current President of the USA seems to think it entails presiding over a reality show in today's 'twitter universe' where he can demean everyone and anyone he wishes whenever the mood suits him.  Methinks the political scene in the US will continue to spiral into the dirt over the next four years.  My hope is that the other 95% of the planet's population will be able to survive the new USA.
