So my current PCP hates Trump. I don't (btw I didn't vote for him in 2016 but will be in 2020 if anything just to spite the media...cry me a river). But I think he crossed a line recently when he told me at the end of a check up that he thinks Trump is a dumbass. I don't care who you are or what you do for a living, you don't bring politics into the workplace - even if it's your own business - and not expect some people to object.
One of his first cousins is the head dean of the Washington national cathedral and is an adamant opponent of the prez. Needless to say, his publications to the cathedral website are overwhelmingly anti Trump. My doc recently printed and posted an article to his cork board in his patient room and so I read the whole thing. Here is the title page:

The entire article can be read at https://cathedral.org/have-we-no-decency-a-response-to-president-trump.html
If you read the whole thing, you'll find (if you're honest) that it's all subjective with no factual info.
I will say that this doc is probably my fav doctor ever. He gives a shit about his patients and has always come of as a genuine guy and I trust his medical advice to the fullest. Still, I took issue with him putting this on display and took him to task on my most recent visit. He told me that it's "about not being a dick" to which I responded that it's all just subjective opinion and that you can't dictate to your patients what you think is right or wrong.
It's a respectful disagreement, but I just don't think this belongs in a professional environment regardless of your beliefs.
This is just one of many examples today that makes me mad that so many people think they have the moral high ground. I don't agree with everything the prez says and does, but his presidency is the best example of how ridiculously one-sided our country's thinking has become. Acting "presidential" is just a cop out for saying that political correctness is how things should go. This is why he got elected. The system created the Trump presidency and if you disagree then your head is stuck up your ass.
