When I was a young person a long time ago politicians were somewhat respectable people even though some were totally corrupt. Now politicians seem like clowns. Maybe it was always like that but as you age you see reality.
"But the worst kind of feeling is the day you realize
our elected officials are just spewing real lies
One is pure evil so you can't vote for him
But the other one couldn't teach a duck to swim"

Fortunately Trump seems to be an exception to this rule!
