Friend,
Trust is everything but it’s hard to trust because we’ve all been burned. And it’s hard to trust the government because the government has burned us repeatedly.
Last week, in a unanimous non-partisan ruling, the Supreme Court threw out convictions against my administration by New York’s U.S. Attorney because prosecutors overreached. In truth, they were political prosecutions, and people had their lives destroyed by the misuse of government power.
The ramifications of the political abuse of power are far and wide. The division in this nation, the anger the fear, the lack of confidence, the cynicism. Trust is earned, and Americans are smart, and the evidence of dysfunction is overwhelming.
So how does it change. It changes when the people of the country say they have had enough. When the apathy metastasizes to anger and the anger manifests into action.
It will happen. The current trajectory is not sustainable. Society will no longer tolerate the abuse. There will be a moment when each of us looks in the mirror and realizes that change starts with us.
We just have to decide to do it. Please watch my full message in the video here.
