If Trump Talks, Walks, And Looks Like A Russian Puppet...
There was a saying my dad repeated to me and my siblings almost daily. In his West Texas drawl, he’d say:
“If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s a duck.”
West Texas Translation: Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right or a person seems “off” you need to trust yourself.
I was troubled by Donald Trump. My fears about Trump went deeper than his party of his politics. From the time I watched him rise to national prominence, I had a sick feeling of dread and I believed Donald Trump was very dangerous.
I didn’t express my fears about Trump (and the people surrounding him) for a long time. I live in a deep red state and there were plenty of people I love and respect that voted for him. It seemed extreme and many of the experts (including the media) were supporting him. I disregarded and pushed down my instincts. Time went on.
More examples of our President acting strangely piled up. I deep dived into many different books and articles from across the political spectrum. I tried to find something that would explain my uneasy feelings of danger and dread. But my dad’s drawl kept coming back to me:
“If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck…it’s duck.”
Expert and author Gavin De Becker says that unlike any other living creature, humans will sense danger, yet still walk right into it. We don’t trust our instincts and we don’t trust what we see right in front of us.
After Jim Comey was fired, I finally trusted my instincts and embraced the terrifying fact that our President was compromised and so were other “leaders” in our government.
