America is very tired...

People are beaten down. Their nerves are on edge. They are more vulnerable with each passing day.

They are willing to accept lies as the norm. They are sick of politicians. They are told that their President is unconventional. The chaos and confusion has disrupted people's lives.

One more month of this and every American will need a Valium prescription.

"People are beaten down."

I'm standing with my head high.

"Their nerves are on edge."

My nerves are on edge.

"They are more vulnerable with each passing day."

I'm no more vulnerable than I was yesterday.

"They are willing to accept lies as the norm."

No, I'm not.

"They are sick of politicians."

The list of politicians I respect is long.

"They are told that their President is unconventional."

Not sure how that fits the concept you are presenting.

"The chaos and confusion has disrupted people's lives."

No doubt it's disrupting the lives of many.
