All over cable t.v. and plastered across the front page of the international
newspaper in bold print was, "US LEADER TO UNITED NATIONS COUNCIL
-CLAIMS 'THERE IS
NOTHING WRONG DOWN THERE'' along with a close up
photo of
the man with both hands pointing towards his crotch in
reference to a lewd comment made by an intoxicated person in a crowd.
Overcome with TRUMPHOBIA, barely able to breathe, I froze up, cringed
and pulled the blanket over my head knowing I wouldn't be able to take
my trip to
Paris even though I had already purchased through an auction,
a pair of
non-refundable round trip tickets that could not be
rescheduled . Just the thought of the foreign
people staring, laughing
and pointing at me petrified me and I could not take the vacation.
