Yes, Mr. Blow, I am very, very alarmed, and so is my family.
Yesterday, my 14-year-old daughter came home from school and, at the lunch table, started weeping inconsolably. What was the matter? Apparently, they had talked about Trump in her civics class and she is now firmly convinced that he is going to start a nuclear war, that we are all going to die. "You're old," she sobbed, "you've had a life. I want to have a life too! I want to get married and have children!"
So, I ask you: What kind of country has America become? What kind of country elects a man who terrifies people around the world? When I grew up, the Russians were the "bad guys" threatening us with nuclear annihilation. Now, with Trump, it looks like the tables are turned and WE are going to be the bad guys, strutting and preening and threatening any country that does not toe the line. It's schocking and frightening.
The only thing I could say to console my daughter was that Trump loves money, he loves his gold-plated tower and all of his gold-plated baubles. If he started a nuclear war, then all of that money would be of no use to him, it would all go up in flames with the rest of us, unless, of course (and this I did NOT say to my daughter), he is stupid enough to believe he could actually win...
