I just got through reading the Star Tribune editorial that the A.L. Tribune published relating to comparisons between Trump and Teague.

I just kept thinking over and over. How has our pennings, verbalizations, our world, this time in history gotten so intertwined in manipulation? What have we taught and are teaching the next generations? What disservice have we done and are doing to these young people?

To print the ridiculousness of this article for all to see comparing an alleged sexual predator to stupid, often inappropriate things uttered by Trump is beyond the pale.

Our politics, and make no mistake this is all about politics and Trump, the writer found a timely handy story about an alleged predator and found it to be useful to manipulate the public.

Donald Trump is arrogant, and can be a boastful, condescending person, but Mr. Trump has found an aching, a need in our society today and he has yelled it from the roof tops. He has gotten where no politician has ever been before. He is speaking for the masses — the masses who are sick and tired of exactly what this Star Tribune writer attempts to do: manipulate.

These writers, these news organizations don’t get it. People want the simple truth. Not to be manipulated, not lied to. Just truth.

Whether you like, don’t care or hate Trump, he has found something no one before him ever has, a VOICE for the silent majority.
