(ThyBlackMan.com) The 45th President, Donald J Trump, has been in office for almost a month and two weeks, and many of us are still in a state of shock. We were all asked to give this president a chance and some of swallowed the nasty taste in our mouth to oblige. However, with each passing day we are plunged more into a state of shock and national embarrassment. Some would argue this country has never had its highest office this disrespected. In a matter of weeks, we have gone from arguably the most disrespected president in history to the most disrespectful treatment of the office by a president.
Unfortunately, we are not dreaming this is reality. Maybe we are so shocked by the behavior of a public official because until now, let’s be honest, we have not really paid much attention as a whole to Capitol Hill. We have been constantly led by questionable character…but 
now it’s so in our face we have no choice but to acknowledge what has been happening. The current Attorney General Jeff Sessions was first a Senator, and he was the same man we that just committed perjury.
The current president does not value honesty, facts nor the climate of the American people. However, for black people we must ask the question are we still in shock? Granted the nature of the establishment in this country has never been in our favor, and we knew better than to trust the system. The elders use to tell if someone shows who they are…believe them. This president has never lied to us about his vile nature nor his propensity to lie. With that being said, are we really surprised that he supported an Attorney General that clearly lied under oath?
If we truly understand what we are dealing with, via this administration, then it’s time to snap out of the state of shocked. It is important to be informed and know what all is taking place around us. However, instead of giving so much energy to the circus at the White House maybe we should be looking at the bills that are being presented to congress that can affect your child’s education, and your healthcare. We must put our attention where it is sorely needed.
There is so much work to be done in our communities, and we can’t take for granted that the government is going to work itself out in our favor. We can’t be surprised when it looks like we are under attack in this country…we are and always have been. We cannot afford to continue to waste time laughing at the concept of “alternative fact”.
The truth is giving a lie a catching title to make it acceptable is not funny…adults are behaving like elementary school children. It is important to save our money, pool our resources, learn from our past and move in the best interest of our people. Elections are coming soon, and we must be prepared to vote in Congressional elections because that is important and the outcome has baring on our day to day life. Trusting the government has never been a wise move, and now they are indeed the greatest distraction to progress. Are you still surprised? I hope not as we don’t have time for the diversion caused by shock.
