OPINION — Like Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz,” since the inauguration of Trump in 2025, I feel like I’m living in the land of Oz. America feels like a wicked fantasyland, the playground of the Wizard (Trump).
I see lies over truth, misinformation over facts, bullying over compassion, grift over ethical behavior, demeaning others over respect, gut-feel decisions over objectivity, military action over negotiation and compromise. Truly a “Me” rather than a “We” inclination in all aspects of the current administration.
Approaching the 250th birthday of this great nation, I can only hope that soon true patriots will pull back the curtain and reveal the corruption that has consumed Washington, D.C.
