Off my chest!

I try not to comment on all of the allegations connected with the Trump Presidency. It is increasingly hard not to, but common sense and common decency now require it.

In respect to Mr. Trump’s recent visit to the middle east and Europe, one episode in Rome struck me as overtly and deliberately cruel.

Sean Spicer the beleaguered and berated and battered White House press secretary was apparently looking forward to being in the presence of the Pope. Spicer is a devout Catholic.

He was not with the family or staff list to make the trip to the Vatican’s inner sanctum to meet the Pope. Spicer is the press spokesman. He should be there. It is de rigueur.

That’s mean. That’s this administration. That’s Trump!
