Wednesday our senior citizen leader was in Israel for a few hours. He met with good old Benjamin and made all kinds of promises. With a lack of a working Congress, I don't know if those promises have any value. But still, they look good in the media. His entire appearance was scary, and I am surprised nobody said anything about it.
First, his walk is so unsteady it is frightening. There is nothing encouraging about it. I am looking at it and waiting to see when he will falter. I know he is trying but still!
Then he makes a speech that is so lame, so discouraging that it really hurt to watch it. His entire appearance is weak, unsure and discouraging. He did not reflect any confidence as the leader of the free world. He was a picture of an old man, waiting to go back to his home and lie down.
But - to me - the most obvious was the face to face meeting with the prime minister. They were sitting on each side of a table talking to the media. The pm made a speech and while he was talking the prez was constantly looking at his flash card in his hand like seeing "what am I to say now". It appeared he was given what to say and how to say it and made sure he says the right thing. It should have not been difficult if it comes from the heart. But in his case, who knows.
I wonder who is behind our president. Who tells him what to do, where to go, what to say. Because it is obvious that he is being controlled. The man is 80 years old and faltering. And that is scary. Nobody is taking him seriously, nobody looks at him with respect any longer. And he wants another four years? It is a joke!
In his later years FDR was in a wheelchair, but not his mind. This man's mind is already in a wheelchair.
It really is frightening.
