On 6/20/18, Melania Trump, visited a detention center in Texas for young children separated from their deported illegal Mexican immigrant parents. She questioned officials about the condition of the children; and was told it was very difficult and emotional for the children.
I found it odd that Mrs. Trump wore a overcoat that day with the bold print text message: "I really don't care. Do you?"
I would prefer Michelle Obama or Laura Bush's style and skill when representing our country.
I have had "some tolerance" for Donald Trump and his wife. However, his tiresome "zero tolerance" rhetoric, and her insensitivity (in my opinion) have really lowered my already less that neutral tolerance for the two.
"And now what is the result of all these considerations and quotations? It
is negative in one sense, but positive in another. It absolutely forbids
us to be forward in pronouncing on the meaninglessness of forms of existence other
than our own; and it commands us to tolerate, respect and indulge those whom we
see harmlessly interested and happy in their own ways, however unintelligible
these may be to us. Hands off: neither the whole of truth, nor the whole
of good, is revealed to any single observer, although each observer gains a
partial superior insight for the peculiar position in which he stands.
Even prisons and sick rooms have their special revelations. It is enough
to ask of each of us that he should be faithful to his own opportunities and
make the most of his own blessings, without presuming to regulate the rest of
the vast field."
- William James, On a Certain Blindness, 1891
