“Run or Shut Up”

                In recent years Bill Cosby has been both a source of inspiration, and a source of extreme verbal assault (agreeable or not).  Yesterday on the “Today Show” he made a simple statement in response to Donald Trump’s ramblings, “Run or Shut Up”.  As a proponent of simple words, I don’t think I could’ve said it any better.  I must say that I was guilty of this during the last Presidency, but it is easy to sit on the sidelines and ridicule.  “The Donald” wants to talk like a candidate, walk like a candidate, but doesn’t want to officially become a candidate “yet”.  This is laughable and one of the main reasons why this country is truly, in the words of Trump, “on the way to hell”.

                It appears that Trump's “yet” is a huge door that’s hinged on his “The Celebrity Apprentice” show.  Yes I’m aware of contractual agreements, and the issues that surround the issue.  But, if the country you love “needs you” then what are you waiting on?  Simply put money matters more than our ailing country and Mr. Trump’s lack of movement embodies the old proverb “the love of money is the root of all evil”.  Our country is in the trouble because of the poor, not because of teachers, not because of unions, not because of education, and not because of our President.  We are in this position because our love of money takes precedence over anything else.  We will risk a shutdown of the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT all for the love of money.  The self-loathing “King of the Comb-Over “ claims to love this country, but would rather let his money-making show play out rather than entering a race that he says needs him.  Mr. Trump if your country needs you so much, and you’re confident of your prowess in being a great President, when will you announce your intent to run?  Or at the end of the day, will your love for money require you to shut up?

Just me
