As a mother and grandmother, I’m aghast that a masked man could shoot a woman in the face, point blank, and be praised for such a horrific deed.

Donald Trump makes decisions based on his own morality, not the Constitution, the Supreme Court or Congress. Has he no moral compass? How can he equate morality with the murder of an ICU nurse who was shot 10 times in the back? Trump’s thugs appear to enjoy kidnapping or killing supposed “domestic terrorists.” They and their leaders clearly have no “Christian” values as they pursue their intimidation and violence.

But I will say this. I am sick of Trump’s America. I am sick of the hatred, lies, the gaslighting and the smug “Christian” hypocrisy. I am sick of their character assassinations of innocent victims, and their crocodile tears for the macho goons who murdered them.

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are shielded by armed guards while they wreak havoc and fear. Paul LePage, the other Florida man, has reemerged to reinforce his mini-Trump image to support ICE over the people of Maine.

My children and grandchildren are terrified because they see these heavily armed men stalking and yelling at anyone they choose. They don’t like this America. They want to know when or if this insanity will end. Will it take an ICE murder in Portland?
