And I'm sure opinions and feelings may fluctuate.
I'm embarrassed by our election process that installed the popular vote loser as president.
I'm embarrassed by the morons (my fellow Americans) who voted for and support him.
I'm embarrassed by our elected(repuglican) senators and congressman behavior; from refusing to consider a supreme court nominee last year to refusing to investigate the president for violations of emoluments and more.
And sometimes I feel abused and hope for rescue from any source.(save us!)
But mostly I'm appalled and incensed, and engaged in the battle that is really a war.
So he's an embarrassment, but he does not make me embarrassed. He makes me angry and fearful and fierce!
