Read over the list of the 14 points without that bias, and mitigate or aggravate Trump and his Administration's culpability on this 14 behaviors:
- One can love their country without going to the extreme; do Trump's speech and actions reflect the behavior of past Presidents or are they actions which inflame some of our population?
- Does the Trump Administration put human rights as a serious policy consideration?
- Has Trump and his surrogates named enemies of the State (Mexicans, Muslims, Journalists and Actors)?
- Has Trump's budget proposal favored a military already enjoying the governments largess, at the expense of social services?
- Has Trump's attack on Women who march for their Right to choose seemed unseemly and sexist, as did "locker room talk" not expressed in a locker room?
- Are Trumps attack on the media, the free press and broadcasters, ian effort to censor the truth? Is Fake News is an affectation used to rally his most ardent supporters?
- Is Trump's obsession with a military to protect our shores and citizens once again demagoguery, if he cared about our citizens would he put health care, jobs and the environment as priorities?
- Are his recent EO's giving religious leaders the power of the pulpit to politic a violation of the first amendment, something never done by even our most pious presidents?
- Is Corporate Power Protected? Is cutting corporate taxes and allowing them to bring a trillion or more dollars into this country do nothing but enrich the well heeled? Will taxes increase for the middle class as one can infer from the Sect. of the Treasury and his remark, (paraphrased ) - we can't guarantee the middle class will not pay more with tax reform?
- Time will tell how Trump will impact working men and women. If his first choice was any indication for labor sect. was that an indication that labor and unions will come under attack? Does he have too many Plutocrats in his Administration?
- Trumps attacks on the entertainment industry are legends on tweeter, along with his efforts to censor the press and broadcasters he attacks actors, late night talk show hosts, and all of Hollywood. Do you find this behavior Presidential?
- Trump's stump speech highlighted law and ORDER - the type of order we've seen during the Nixon-Agnew period - "get him out of here" is common, does this foreshadow his future behavior?
- LOL, by far the most obvious. Has Trump has surrounded himself with cronies, family and obsequious yes men and women?
- Trump's campaign speech put our elections on trial in Nov 2016; claims that fraud is widespread will no doubt dominate debate in the days before the election in 2018 - will we see voter suppression on steroids this time around?
