DONALD TRUMP - A SHAMELESS HYPOCRITE

BENEATH THE SPIN • ERIC L. WATTREE

DONALD TRUMP - A SHAMELESS HYPOCRITE 
.
Conservatives specialize in hypocrisy, and they always have. Look at the people who are supporting Trump. They call themselves patriots, yet, they're nothing short of un-American fascists. They claim to love freedom, yet, they wanted to lynch Colin Kaepernick for exercising his right to it. They claim to love the flag, yet, they hate everything the flag represents. They take pride in publishing photos of Donald Trump and Rush Limbaugh playing golf at Mar-a-Lago, yet, both of their heroes are cowardly draft dodgers who punked-out when the country needed them most. It’s easy to take photos hugging the flag now that they don’t have to lay their lives on the line, but when they were asked to actually risk death to fight for the country, they both ran like hell.
.
In spite of the fact that Trump played sports all through high school and college, when it came time to fight for this country, he went limping into the draft board with a note from a doctor (who was one of his father’s tenants) talking about his feet hurt, and Rush Limbaugh complained of having a boil on his fat ass.
.
I had a boil on my ass too, but the Marine Corps simply lanced it - and they also yanked out my tonsils while they were at it – and all while I was wide awake. They simply gave me a shot, asked me to open my mouth, and snatched those suckers out. Thereafter, they gave me a few aspirin and sent my ass right back out in the field, bleeding boil, sore throat and all.
.
So while Trump and Limbaugh like to strut around like John Wayne now, when they were faced with the prospect of putting it all on the line, they were too self-serving to show the country what they were really made of . . . Well, on second thought, maybe they did – two big, cowardly, gas bags of patriotic hot air. Yet, now, Trump claims to be such a significant symbol of the nation that it was treason when the Democrats didn't applaud his State of the Union speech before congress. Can you believe that kind of delusional arrogance, that failing to honor him is TREASON!!!? That alone is enough to prove him unstable.
.
The actual fact is, Donald Trump is a shameless hypocrite and cowardly fraud - yet, this has become the face of our great nation. He's made America the laughingstock of the world, and we should all be hanging our heads in shame. He's a slap in the face of all of the brave men and women who ever fought and died for this country - and the GOP knows he's a mindless disgrace to the nation but they completely ignore it and allow America to suffer, because it allows them to corrupt our courts with criminals like Brett Kavanaugh, and promote injustice in our justice system with political hacks like William Barr.  Thus, to hell with the dignity of the nation, the U.S. Constitution, and the best interest of the American people, this is about the GOP, and it's political advantage.
.
And in addition to everything else, Trump is an idiot, and the U.S. government is being forced to try to hide that fact from the international community. According to New York Magazine, Trump’s own lawyer, John Dowd, called his client an idiot. 
.
"Somewhat more audaciously, he has argued that Trump should not have to testify to Special Counsel Robert Mueller, because the transcript would leak, and foreign leaders would see that Trump is an idiot:
.
Dowd then explained to Mueller and Quarles why he was trying to keep the president from testifying: 'I’m not going to sit there and let him look like an idiot. And you publish that transcript, because everything leaks in Washington, and the guys overseas are going to say, ‘I told you he was an idiot. I told you he was a goddamn dumbbell. What are we dealing with this idiot for?’” 

.
Trump has just declared that he is not going to cooperate with congresses constitutional right of oversight. He's taken it upon himself to overrule the United States Constitution and has determined that any further investigations into his personal conduct is unnecessary, completely dismissing congresses constitutional right to oversight. Thus, he’s so uninformed regarding the underpinnings of America’s democratic laws and traditions, and so self-serving, greedy, and in fear of the revelations in the Robert Mueller Report, that he’s completely untethered to the democratic principles that most of us take for granted. As a result, as we speak, he’s currently testing the limits of America’s willingness to defend our Constitution - and yes, it can happen here. If Trump and Mitch McConnell's stacked Supreme Court goes along with him, at that very moment, we no longer have a democracy, but a kleptocracy like in Russia, which, I think, is Trump's ultimate goal.
.
Privately, many Republicans hate Trump's guts, that's why his White House
leaks like a sieve - and personally, I don't think Melania even likes him - but Trump is a perfect reflection of the GOP itself.  Like Trump, the leaders of the Republican Party are a group of self-serving, manipulative, and unpatriotic liars who are more than willing to drag America under a bus to promote their own political interests. Clear evidence of that is, virtually every time this nation faces a crisis, Republican fingerprints are all over it, and that's exactly what's happening in this case. They know that Donald Trump is a mindless international disaster, yet, they continue to support him for their own selfish reasons - once again, putting party and the further enrichment of the rich, before country.
.
That clearly demonstrates why the GOP is far too recklessly selfish and irresponsible to govern. The entire Trump image is a farce. Everything he does is superficial and for show, because he has absolutely no depth or insight. The GOP knows this, but they care much more about promoting their political agenda than they do the welfare of the nation. So, they're propping up a man with the intelligence and maturity level of an 8-year-old to the very apex of political power in this country and the world. If we had a legitimate national emergency, they'd have to scramble to circumvent him in order to get someone competent enough to handle it. According to the Mueller Report, his staff has to routinely save him from himself even during normal times. So, if the GOP was the least bit patriotic - or in the case of Evangelicals, God-fearing - considering the damage they're doing to this nation, they'd be ashamed to call themselves Americans.

Religious bigotry: It's not that I hate everyone who doesn't look, think, and act like me - it's just that God does.
