I am not
sure if 2020 is an acid dream that I can’t wake up from. It started when we began hearing of Donald
Trump back in 2008. After that the world
went out of sync.
Donald Trump
came on the political scene in 2008, but few paid attentions to him. .
Trump, the
spoiled son of a multi millionaire, received five deferments from military
service during the Vietnam war. He
inherited millions from his father upon graduating from college and his bad
investments resulted in five bankruptcies.
He made his name as a TV reality star host. His election as President was a shock to
everyone, including himself.
As President
he has denigrated John McCain and all POW’ and MIA’s saying he “prefers people
who weren’t captured.” He called the
service men that died during the battle of Dunkirk losers. He has taken children away from their parents
at the southern border and placed them in internment camps. He has used the office of the president for
personal enrichment. He has ruined the standing of the United
States among Allied nations. And, his
subservience to Vladimir Putin raises many questions. Trump is one of only three presidents that
have been impeached while in office.
Trump is a
womanizer, a racist, a habitual liar a conman and quite possibly a traitor. His mental stability is easily
questioned. He displays narcissism, psychopathy,
Machiavellianism and egotism. Yet, he
has become the Glorious Leader of the Republican party.
So here we are in 2020, during a virus pandemic infecting one-hundred-thousand-plus people daily with over one-hundred-thirty-five thousand dead and half of the country denying the seriousness of the of the illness.
We have a totally
unqualified President running for reelection and half of the population of the United
States considers him a cult savior.
Trump will
eventually go; but half of the U.S. population, members of the Trump cult, will
influence our democracy for decades to come and make the United States of the
past unrecognizable in the future.
Something has happened and I don’t know what it is.
Machiavellianism psychopathy
I am finding it increasingly difficult to live in this country. I'm glad I am old so I won't have to see how this ends. Even with A Democrat in the White House, the Republicans and 'cult 45' will continue to push for Fascism and against Democracy.
ReplyDeletewhat debra said..
ReplyDeletethey are calling it, but after 4 years of this bullshit...??? I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Trump is a symptom, not the disease. Some survey or another found an incredible number of Americans in favour of a strong leader who does not bother with Congress or Courts. That describes Putin to a T and is unfortunately the attitude of too many Russians.
