author Mark Lander gives us vital insight concerning the latest inflammatory comments made by our president and the actions of those in charge of clarifying his words. Only a week ago, President Trump implored the nation to unite and set aside party differences recently, however, he was quick to call Democrats treasonous for not applauding his State of the Union speech adding that he would "love" a government shutdown if his demands were not met. Chief of staff, John F. Kelly, added fuel to the fire by stating that Dreamers are too lazy to register for protected status. In effect, he doubted Trump would extend the March 5 deadline that shields them from deportation. With all this being said, the White House staff was quick to curtail the damage done by the president himself crediting accusations of treason to "tongue-in-cheek" remarks and reassuring the public that the president did not, in fact, hope for a second government shutdown. The president's outbursts, however, have left those on capital hill numb to his transgressions. It is, unfortunately, rather novel that our country would accept a president who labels his opponents as traitors, as pointed out by Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona. The alternative seems much worse. Should we ignore the presidents attempted transgressions on our liberties or should we take him as anything less than serious? To make matters worse, the president boldly attempted to smear the Democratic parties' rebuttal to the Republican memo questioning the conduct of the FBI in the investigation concerning collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. In other words, he once again accused his opponents of being UNAMERICAN. In short, this article serves as an update to some of the extraordinary comments made by our president in the span of a week and the political issues they refer to.
