MORON-IN-CHIEF

The president has shut down the United States during the holidays because he didn’t like being criticized by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter.

How utterly ridiculous that is!

Do you need any more proof that Trump is a moron?

The president spends more time watching tv news reports about himself then meeting with advisers, experts, staff and legislators, educating himself on the issues, or actually working.

How utterly ridiculous that is!

Do you need any more proof that Trump is a moron?

The president does not make foreign policy decisions based on serious thought or ideology after consulting with advisers, experts and our allies. Trump makes foreign policy decisions unilaterally to dominate the headlines and put damaging news about him “below the fold”.

How utterly ridiculous that is!

Do you need any more proof that Trump is a moron?

The president responds to anyone who challenges, criticizes or questions him not with serious discussion or debate, but him by calling them fat, ugly, stupid, weak, low energy, hormonal, liar, idiot, crooked, etc., etc., etc.

How utterly ridiculous that is!

Do you need any more proof that Trump is a moron?

The president respects, actually idolizes and envies, and courts dictators and authoritarian leaders, and attacks and alienates the democratic leaders of our allies.

How utterly ridiculous that is!

Do you need any more proof that Trump is a moron?

Do I really need to go on?  I think we can all agree – Trump is a moron! 

The President of the United States should NEVER be a moron. Trump must go!

TRUMP – A PRESIDENT OF HISTORIC FIRSTS!

The current President of the Unites States is a dangerous, deplorable, despicable, incompetent, ignorant, totally self-absorbed malignant narcissist whose sole motivation in everything is feeding his ego and lining his pockets, who lies to everyone about everything every day, who doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground about anything, nor any desire to learn anything, and who has no clue about the responsibilities and limitations of his office.

Prior to 2017, never in the history of the United States has anyone ever made this statement.  And, also prior to 2017, never in the history of the United States has a majority of people in America and around the world ever believed this statement to be completely or partially true.

And then there is this -

The Russian government wanted Trump in the White House, and actively and aggressively worked to influence the US Presidential election to benefit Trump’s campaign.  Without Russia's interference in the election, Trump would not be in the White House today.

Again, prior to 2017, never in the history of the United States has this statement been proven to be true about any President or Presidential election.

These are only two of the many historic firsts of the Trump Presidency.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS DEAD!

By embracing Trump, and becoming the “Party of Trump”, the once Grand Old Party has also embraced deceit and dishonesty, cowardice and hypocrisy.  The Republican Party has abandoned American values and lost all credibility as a legitimate mainstream political party.  It is truly dead and now must be buried.

Trump has committed, consistently and unapologetically throughout his business and political life, every single “bad act” that Republicans have claimed, rightfully or wrongfully, were committed by a Democrat and that they have denounced in the past.

The Republican Party is literally saying to the American public today that only Democrats can commit, be charged with, and be punished for illegal and unethical activity.  The same activity performed by an alleged Republican is neither illegal nor unethical and should not be punished. 

The term “Republican” has officially become a synonym for the word “hypocrisy”.

America needs a new political party that accepts and represents real “conservative” political philosophy.  The Republican Party has not represented true conservatism for years.

The basic principles of American conservative political philosophy are:

• Protect & Maximize Individual Rights

• Ensure a Limited Government

• Uphold the Rule of Law

• Commitment to Federalism and the Separation of Powers

• Maintain Free & Open Markets (Economic & Social)

Everything Trump does and wants to do as President, and by virtue of embracing Trump the Republican Party now supports, is directly opposed to these principles.

A true conservative party would denounce the philosophy of the religious right, “evangelicals” and “Tea Party” that the Republican Party has erroneously also embraced.  Prior to the emergence and embrace of Trump, the biggest threat to the Republican Party was the Tea Party movement of the religious right. 

The second principle listed above says “Ensure a Limited Government”.  True conservatives believe that the government should intrude in a citizen’s personal and business life as little as possible.  The role of government should be to provide citizens with the freedom necessary to pursue their own goals; conservatism emphasizes empowerment of the individual to solve problems.  Contrary to the belief in limited government, the religious right, “evangelicals” and Tea Party supporters want the government to tell citizens how to live their lives by forcing the specific religious beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity on them.

The separation of church and state in the Constitution DEMANDS that the individual religious beliefs of a specific religion or sect NEVER be legislated.

Barry Goldwater, the former poster boy for American conservatism, said –

“Religious factions will go on imposing their will on others unless the decent people connected to them recognize that religion has no place in public policy.”

And -

“I am a conservative Republican, but I believe in democracy and the separation of church and state. The conservative movement is founded on the simple tenet that people have the right to live life as they please as long as they don't hurt anyone else in the process.”

A new truly Conservative Party must rise to replace the dead Republican Party – and vocally and aggressively oppose and denounce Trump and everything he, and sadly now the Republican Party, stands for!

HOW WE GOT WHERE WE ARE

Trump’s core cult of deplorable ignorant racists makes up about 30% of voters.  Sadly almost 1/3 of Americans are deplorable ignorant racists.

These people have always existed, but never acted as a united force before.  In the past they were never taken seriously and, rightfully so, never spoken directly to by any legitimate political candidate.  But they found their savior and “white knight” (emphasis on the “white”) in Trump, who embraced them as they embraced him.  Who else would cheer Trump at his rallies – and his only reason for continuing a serious campaign was to hear the roar of the crowd.  These deplorable sheep will follow and actively support Trump no matter what he does or what “sin” he commits.  He was correct when he said he could shoot someone in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and not lose their support and adoration.

Trump galvanized and empowered the deplorable ignorant racists of America into a cohesive and consistent voting bloc - a voting bloc that, unfortunately, the Republican Party now takes seriously and courts.

Because these deplorables wrongly consider themselves to be evangelical Christians, Trump, the least “Christian” of any candidate, pandered to his core cult by also pandering to the religious right, increasing his base of support.  Trump truly represents all elements of dangerous and wrong-minded political philosophy, legitimizing and empowering hate, selfishness and feelings of superiority – three elements that define Trump’s motivation and behavior, and his very life.

Trump won the Republican candidacy for President because there were too many names on the ballot in the Republican primaries.  When there are 10 or more choices, a candidate with a consistent almost 30% of the vote will always come out ahead. 

Many people, especially Republicans, had an irrational hatred for the Clinton family, and, erroneously, believed Trump to be the “lesser of two evils”.  Clinton won her party’s nomination because there were too few candidates in the Democratic primaries.  If the Democrats had run any other candidate for President Trump would not be in the White House today.

One reason “normal” Americans even considered a person like who Trump was erroneously considered to be by some as an appropriate option was a justifiable frustration with the incompetence and inaction of Congress – a result of the excessive partisan contention and divisiveness that started when Newt Gingrich first became Speaker of the House – and with “traditional” politicians. 

Putin and Russia, recognizing that as the ultimate narcissist he could be easily played, wanted Trump in the White House, and did everything they could to accomplish this end.

And finally – we must never forget that Trump did not win the election.  He lost by 3 million votes.  He was placed in office by the Electoral College.  One of the reasons the founding fathers created the Electoral College was to prevent an irresponsible demagogue from taking office.  It certainly failed in 2016.

There is no doubt that Trump was the absolute worst choice for President.  No President in our history has been as ignorant, incompetent and totally self-absorbed. 

LIAR,  LIAR,  PANTS ON FIRE.

Donald Trump, the current President of the United States, lies.  To everyone.  About everything.  If his lips are moving, he is lying.

Streisand sings.  DeNiro acts.  Trump lies.  It is what they do.

It is impossible to believe a word Trump says.  If Trump publicly announced that the earth was round, I would promptly join the Flat Earth Society.

Whenever Trump speaks in public, he must be accompanied by a fireman, whose job is to minimize the damage from Trump’s flaming pants.

When Trump gets caught lying, he lies about lying.  When there’s proof Trump lied about lying, he says someone else lied.

As Preet Bharara, US Attorney for the Southern District of New York from 2009 to 2017, has said - “Trump lies, surrounds himself with liars, and then lies about the liars.”

The Washington Post has reported –

“In the first nine months of his presidency, Trump made 1,318 false or misleading claims, an average of five a day. But in the seven weeks leading up the midterm elections, the president made 1,419 false or misleading claims — an average of 30 a day.

Combined with the rest of his presidency, that adds up to a total of 6,420 claims through Oct. 30, the 649th day of his term in office, according to The Fact Checker’s database that analyzes, categorizes and tracks every suspect statement uttered by the president.”

Much of Trump’s lies revolve around his narcissism and delusions of grandeur.  I expect Trump actually believes the constant lies about his abilities, intelligence and accomplishments.

Trump, as President, is not the “Commander-In-Chief”, but truly the “Liar-In-Chief”.

THE TRUMP CHALLENGE

I challenge anyone to say anything legitimately positive about Donald Trump.  It is impossible.

He is most certainly NOT accomplished, admirable, articulate, caring, charitable, clever, compassionate, competent, concerned, cooperative, courageous, courteous, curious, decent, diplomatic, educated, eloquent, empathetic, ethical, faithful, forgiving, funny, generous, good-natured, gracious, honest, honorable, humble, knowledgeable, idealistic, inquisitive, insightful, intelligent, literate, modest, moral, open minded, perceptive, rational, respectful, responsible, self-disciplined, sensitive, sincere, skilled, stable, talented, trustworthy, unselfish, or wise.

Go ahead – give it your best shot.

R.I.P George H.W. Bush

Sadly, this is something we have truly forgotten.

This statement is the antithesis of Trump's America.

I expect President Bush's funeral will be another one 
Trump is banned from.
