DONALD TRUMP MUST BE INDICTED, CONVICTED, AND IMPRISONED FOR SEDITION – PERIOD
The mere thoughtof letting Donald Trump off the hook in the interest of “bringing the nation together” is ridiculous. It not only won’t work, but it sends the wrong message to future seditionists. The American philosophy is supposed to be equal justice under the law, but we’ve established a pattern of always letting the influential off the hook. If we’d sent Nixon, Reagan, George W. Bush, and Dick Cheney to prison for their crime sprees, Donald Trump might not have been so reckless - but, then again, we can never know about Trump, because he lacks common sense. . Nevertheless, the belief that letting criminals skate on their crimes help to bring the nation back together is a myth. Let's call it what it really is, caving in to the threat of further violence. People like Trump specialize in exploiting weakness, so they're prone to being disruptive regardless to how civil we try to be. In fact, such people see compassion as a form of weakness, so that gives them free reign, and Donald Trump is a perfect example of that. On the other hand, Donald Trump is a coward and a self-serving bully, so he would never do anything that was sure to bring painful repercussions. Thus, by continuing to let criminals off the hook just because they have power and influence only makes them less concerned about the consequences of committing their crimes. So the issue should be non-debatable - anyone who lodges an assault against our democracy should be thrown in jail, or worse. . Sedition is such a serious threat to our way of life that it's the one crime in which we should consider the death penalty. Trump wanted to reinstate the firing squad, so it would send an ironic message if he became the first one to get it - and I'm dead serious. If we're serious about defending our democracy, we have to establish laws that reflect that attitude. After all, we're talking about people who are out to completely overthrow our way of life. So, letting them off the hook for the sake of civility? A society that stupid doesn't deserve a democracy, and they won't have one long. . Insurrectionists are not interested in coming together. The only reason they're insurrectionists in the first place is because they're only interested in taking over our government by force. So, Trump should be convicted in the senate, indicted as a private citizen, convicted, and imprisoned for life, if for no other reason than to make an example of him as a warning to other mindless dictator wannabes who may be left in the wings, and as we saw on January 6th, there are many of them. These people don't get it. They were playing around in our nation's capitol like children playing in a sandbox. So the American people must make it perfectly clear to such people that we have no tolerance for anyone who seeks to undermine American democracy. And since sedition, which is essentially treason, is the worse crime that can be committed against this nation, it should be treated as such.
.
Far too many of us believe that because we have common sense, everybody else has at least enough common sense to define limits to their behavior. But as we've seen in the case of Donald Trump, that's not the case. There are a large number of people in this world who only want what they want and will go to any extent to get it. It's not only a form of ignorance, but a form of mental illness. So, we've got to protect ourselves from such people by dropping the hammer on them - a sledgehammer. And that's what we've got to do with Donald Trump, and all of his reckless followers. Otherwise they'll convince themselves that their reckless behavior is the key to achieving their goals. . Thus, people who commit insurrection against this country should be shown no mercy, regardless of who they are, or for what reason. In America, we take our grievances to court, and if we lose, that's it. That's the American way. Anything else is un-American. We would never think of letting a murderer off the hook in an attempt to bring the nation together, yet, sedition is the attempted murder of our democracy, so the very thought of showing any leniency towards those who engage in it is outrageous.
.
After Trump lost the 2020 election, he purposely conspired to throw out the will of the people and undermine our democracy. He not only used every means at his disposal, but tried to invent new ways of telling the American people to go to Hell, he was going to remain president whether we liked it or not. He even accused his own whimperingly loyal vice president of failing to exhibit “the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution”, after Pence summoned the courage to confirmed in a letter the Wednesday morning of the insurrection that he did not believe he had “unilateral authority to decide which electoral votes should be counted”- and for once, he was right.
. Earlier that week, Pence was said to have endured a lunch with Trump in which he tried to explain that he lacked the constitutional authority to block the certification of Joe Biden's election win, and that his function was merely ceremonial. Further, in a letter Wednesday, he told Trump: "It is my considered judgment that my oath to support and defend the Constitution constrains me from claiming unilateral authority to determine which electoral votes should be counted and which should not." And Pence was right. If a vice president had the authority to pick and choose which votes would be accepted, it would be impossible to ever vote any administration out of office. So the very thought of it was a reflection of Trump's insane disregard for democracy. It reflected Donald's "Trump First" philosophy in life.
.
A source told The Wall Street Journal that the president was furious, telling Pence: "I don't want to be your friend — I want you to be the vice president." Trump didn’t give a damn about either the Constitution, or, throwing out the will of the people. He has clearly demonstrated on numerous occasions that he doesn’t care about the Constitution, he doesn’t care about the American people, and he doesn’t care about America. All Trump cares about is Donald Trump. That’s a huge part of his mental instability, and it’s also what makes him so dangerous. The only difference between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is Putin has a functional intellect and mental stability, and Trump has neither.
.
Trump was terrified when it became clear that he was going to run against Joe Biden, because he knew that the people would associate Biden with Barack Obama, the man Trump most feared, and hated, on Earth. In addition, Biden was mainstream enough for many conservatives to accept over Trump's petulant immaturity and incompetence. Trump's knowledge and fear of that fact is why he was impeached the first time. He was so fearful of Biden that he tried to extort a foreign power to undermine him through slander.
.
Trump was desperate to hold on to power for several reasons. First, due to his gross insecurity, lack of class, and mental instability, he couldn't stand the thought of looking like a loser, because that’s exactly what he’s been all of his life, and he was desperate to hide that fact. After being propped up and bailed out by his father all of his life, and then falling into bankruptcy six times in spite of his father's Herculean efforts, Trump has always been desperate to portray himself as a competent and self-made man. So a high-profile loss to anyone was beyond his emotional endurance, but to lose to Joe Biden, Barack Obama's Vice President, would be devastating. That's why in spite of the fact that his behavior was childish and classless, he couldn't force himself to attend Joe Biden's inauguration. From his perspective, it would have been a public humiliation. It would have made him look like a loser before the entire world. . Secondly, losing to Joe Biden would mean that he not only couldn't compete with Barack Obama, but he couldn’t even compete with Obama’s former subordinate. To Trump that meant that he’d not only be a loser, but a loser to a Black man, and due to his racist disposition, having to confront that reality would be the Hell of all Hells. .
That same fear also motivates much of Trump's base. That's why they're so zealously loyal to him. They're scared to death of having to compete on a level playing field with non-Whites without having a leg up by virtue of the color of their skin - and the brilliant 22-year-old Amanda Gorman, the principle poet at the Joe Biden inauguration is a perfect example of why. Which one of Trump's insurrectionists who attacked our capitol do you think could compete with her talent and powerful intellect? She made Donald Trump look illiterate. At 22 years old, she demonstrated a maturity and wisdom that far exceeds the petulance and immaturity of the 74-year-old Donald Trump. So, she represents the perfect symbol of Trump's insecurity, and the true source of his frustration. And she also represents the frustration of Trump's followers - "It not fair; we're White, so we're the ones who are suppose to shine!" Thus, Amanda, and the many more like her, are the reason that Trump's desperate horde attacked the womb of our democracy. They want to delude themselves into believing they're superior, but they lack the intellectual acuity to prove it, and America is failing in its responsibility to protect their interest. Thus, their chant - "You won't replace us".
.
AMANDA GORMAN
"Amanda Gorman is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, as well as an award-winning writer and cum laude graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Sociology. She has written for the New York Times and has three books forthcoming with Penguin Random House."
But Trump's problems are far more serious than his inability to compete. Trump also knew that if he lost the presidency he’d be stripped bare, and he'd be exposed to numerous legal liabilities. In addition, his finances would be revealed, exposing the fact that he’s not nearly the man that he’s been trying to portray himself to be. And beyond that, he’d be facing a ton of debt and lose his ability to manipulate the system against charges of tax fraud. So, Trump, as we’ve seen through his behavior since losing the election, was absolutely desperate, and his reaction to his desperation was completely predictable. In fact, it was predicted:
A PREDICTION BEARS FRUIT:
TRUMP WILL CLAIM FRAUD IF HE LOSES
THE ELECTION
The above video is absolute proof that Trump's claims of election fraud is a complete sham. It was predicted that he was going to claim fraud if he lost the election, and that was eight weeks before a single vote was casted. Yes, it was predicted eight weeks before the election that the only result that Trump would accept was a win, and that he would consider a loss as fraudulent, regardless of the circumstances or validity of the election. In Trump's deluded mind the only fair election is one where he wins - period. So, what Trump was demanding, was that America take the place of his daddy and simply give him what he wanted, regardless of whether earned it or not. The prediction is undeniable proof that Trump is both desperate and dangerous, and a 24 karat fraud.
.
So, the senate has an absolute obligation to convict Donald Trump. Failing to do so will be a gross abdication of their responsibility to both the Constitution, and, the American people. It will clearly show that they’ve placed their own self-interests before that of the nation, the people, and the United States Constitution. And if that proves to be the case, they are of absolutely no use to the nation. After all, what is the use of having soldiers who are too cowardly to face the enemy? .
I hate to celebrate another person’s misfortune. That kind of pettiness is totally classless. But watching Donald Trump having to agonize through his current loss to Joe Biden is making me want to dance in the street. .
Donald Trump is currently showing the world just how petty and vindictive he is. He's purposely doing everything in his waning power to make America suffer for voting him out of office. Due to his petty and vindictive nature, he's trying to punish America by refusing to concede and failing to cooperate with a smooth transition of power. His intent - other than his desperation over having to face the possible legal consequences of his past behavior - is to make it much harder for President-Elect Joe Biden to pick up the pieces after he's gone, and he doesn't care how many Americans he's responsible for killing in the process. . And the Republican Party clearly recognizes that fact, but they're much too weak-kneed and self-serving to defend the American people from this atrocity. But America will recover, so all Trump's actually doing is making a fool of himself, ensuring his place in the garbage heap of history, and clearly demonstrating just how rudderless this nation has been for the past four years. .
Trump insists that the election was rigged, while not only the facts, but simple logic suggests that's not the case. The fact that Donald Trump lost, while the Republican Party fared much better than expected indicates that the American people didn't reject conservatism, but Donald Trump. . But in spite of that, Trump has still persisted, in spite of the fact that he's had 30 cases thrown out of court. After the vote was certified in Wayne County, Michigan, Trump called two Republican canvassers - telling one, Monica Palmer, "He was checking to make sure I was safe", which sounds very much like a veiled threat. The next day, both canvassers, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, signed affidavits requesting to rescind their votes to certify the election, but fortunately, they weren't allowed to do so. . Thereafter, Trump invited Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield to the White House and wined and dined then on Dom Perignonin an attempt to get them to ignore the vote of the people, which constituted an arrogant, middle-finger in the face of Michigan voters, and a blatant assault on American democracy. "So what if the American voters voted for Joe Biden, we can send in Republican Electors to subvert their will." .
Thus, Trump has a corrupt, self-serving, and untrustworthy nature that's being reflected as the new image of America all over the world. He's causing world leaders to view the United States as the Donald Trump of the world. Prior to Trump entering office, the United States was looked up to and respected by the people of the world based on it's philosophy of "Humanity First", not Donald Trump's selfish philosophy of "America First". Why world leaders want to follow the lead of any nation that places itself first? The United States has promoted a philosophy of, let us all prosper and thrive.
.
The philosophy of "America first" is a perfect reflection of Trump's selfish nature, and in domestic terms, exactly why Trump is secretly hated by even many Republicans. Trump's support is not fueled by admiration and respect, it's the result of politician's being afraid of the people who support him based on the fact that he hates the same people that they do. That's the kind of power wield by dictators - not based on love and respect, but fear - and that's what makes Trump so dangerous, and why we can hear a huge sigh of relief all over the world at his defeat. America is much too powerful a nation to have a narcissistic maniac at it's helm.
.
Trump's brazen attempt to undermine the vote is clear evidence that he couldn't care less about either American democracy, God, or the will of the American people - "To hell with the will of the people; this is my office, so I'll change the vote to my liking". Thus, all Trump cares about is Donald Trump. That's the act of a dictator. That's why Trump routinely fires anyone in his administration who is more loyal to the United States Constitution than they are to Donald Trump. Those people took an oath, under God, to be loyal to the Constitution, yet, Donald Trump is punishing them for honoring that oath, so why are right-wing Christians supporting such a man? As Richard Wolffe pointed out in The Guardian, "It may not be a coup, but it is an attempt to destroy American democracy forever." And it's also a gross violation of this nation's founding oath to be "One nation, under God", not Donald Trump.
.
IN TRUMP WE TRUST
So, anyone who can support such a person is, by definition, un-American, and if they claim to be a Christian, a hypocrite. Thus, the new Republican Party's blind support of Donald Trump and his gross disregard of the American people shows that the party is becoming far less conservative, less Christian, hostile to democracy, and blatantly self-serving. . They're willing to follow anyone who can help them get elected. That clearly demonstrates that they're nothing close to the selfless Christian patriots that they claim to be. They're the mirror image of Donald Trump - relentless predators with an insatiable lust for power. They have absolutely no remorse. They're totally self-absorbed, and they're perfectly willing to undermine American democracy, and their Christian faith, to satisfy their selfish lust for power. In short, they're the ultimate hypocrites.
.
That's a major problem in America today - we're much too willing to elect politicians who are more concerned with their own interests than they are either democracy, the rule of law, or the interests of the American people. They feel that they are entitled to power. That's Trumpism, and it's also autocratic, thus, un-American. That's why so few Republicans are willing to speak out against him, in spite of the fact that he's more than willing to ignite an American insurrection and destroy America's reputation all over the world to promote his own selfish interest.
.
TRUMP REVEALS THE TRUE FACE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
A democracy can't survive under the leadership of self-serving demagogues, and Donald Trump and his Republican cohorts have made it abundantly clear that they're only interest is in power and self-interest. The love of democracy is only a meaningless sales gimmick to them. They have absolutely no concern for the nation, or the American people, and their boisterous claims of selfless patriotism is a complete sham. They're only interest is in promoting the interests of a cowardly draft dodger, and thereby, their own. We should never forget that, because once Trump is gone many of them will remain lurking in the shadows, awaiting another opportunity to drag America back into chaos, because hatred and chaos is the environment in which they thrive.
. So, the American people should use this despicable episode in our history as a teaching moment and closely observe the players involved, because the Republican Party is clearly demonstrating that they're grossly lacking in anything even approaching empathy for the American people, and they lack the simple maturity and ethical conduct expected of world leaders. They're showing the entire world the true meaning of gross irresponsibility, and the fact that they have much more in common with kids playing in a sandbox than anything even close to responsible statesmen.
. How is the United States suppose to convince other nations of the world of the value of democracy after this ridiculous episode? And this utter destruction of America's illustrious and hard-earned reputation around the world has been brought about by the ignorance, pettiness, and self-absorption of one man - Donald Trump. We should never forget that when we consider the importance of our vote.
.
Donald Trump, the Republican guru, has surely got to be one of the most flawed, incompetent, and selfishly disgusting people in America, and I’m not just saying that due to my personal antipathy toward him – which, admittedly, I’m literally drenched in. But if we go back over his behavior for the past four years - and his current behavior since he lost the election - and take into account the many comments made about his character by a multitude of behavioral scientists, people who worked closely with him in his administration, and even members of his own family, the fact that he’s a seriously flawed individual can be fully documented. Thus, even his becoming president in the first place was less an accomplishment on his part than it was a form of punishment by God to ensure his complete humiliation.
.
The fact is, Donald Trump didn’t actually winthe presidency in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton lost it, Trump just happened to be standing in the wings at the time. He could have just as easily been Mr. Magoo, and if the American people could have seen a mere 30 days into the future, Mr. Magoo would have won. . Trump is the very worst example of a leader that any responsible American could have ever conjured up. He’s the very antithesis of everything that represents leadership. He’s ignorant, immature, incompetent, and one of the most self-serving and petty individuals in America. He fully encompasses all of the flaws that any effective leader should be completely devoid of. . Most people would be hard-pressed to come up with anyone else they can think of who is as completely flawed as Donald Trump. He’s one of those few people in the world without any redeeming value – but don't just take my word for it, try to think of anything good you can say about Trump, other than he’s been unceremoniously thrown out of office.I don’t think his wife even likes him, and there’s a perfectly understandable reason for that. . Donald Trump has never had to truly earn anything in his life. His father, Fred Trump, started him off in life by giving him $400 million. As a result, Donald never had to develop the character and intellect that most of us are required to develop to simply survive in the world. Whenever he needed anything – a friend, an ally, a diploma, or anything else he’s required in life – he simply bought it. A perfect example of that was attested to by his older sister, former federal judge, Maryanne Trump Barry. She pointed out that when Donald decided to enroll into the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, he simply paid someone to take the SAT exam for him. She also said, she did much of his homework. And in spite of his claim that he graduated at the top of his class, his former professor, William T. Kelley, is quoted as saying, "Donald Trump was the dumbest goddamn student I ever had." And later - in spite of the fact that he demanded to see Barack Obama's student transcripts from Harvard - he had his lawyer contact and threaten to sue any school that revealed his own.
.
So, again, Donald has never had to develop any of the character or intellect necessary for the average person to survive in the world, and as a result, what we’re left with today is a geriatric individual with the intellectual maturity of an underdeveloped eight-year-old. Thus, he's particularly unqualified to preside over the leading nation of the free world, that is, unless we're content to drive all of humanity into a ditch - and I’m not being the least bit facetious in that assessment, since his reckless policies of the past four years have placed him well on the road to doing just that. .
Donald Trump is a huckster, a complete fraud, and the ultimate loser, and he's sold his image, reputation, and everything about himself to the American people like a used car salesman sells a lemon. Think about it – what level of incompetence does it take to go bankrupt running a casino, where people just walk through the door and literally give their money away? . With the exception of selling his father’s name, everything Trump's ever touched has been a complete disaster. After he went into bankruptcy, if the Russians hadn’t stepped in to bail him out when no American bank would touch him, he would be homeless today. That's why Trump never has one disrespectful word to say about Vladimir Putin, and that makes him particularly dangerous to the American people. That could also explain why he's so desperate to keep his finances hidden. . It's very possible that Donald Trump's entire empire is being propped up by the Russians. That may be the actual reason why he assigned Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate what was found in the Russian investigation. It may also be what led to the firings in the FBI and the heads of the various other National Security agencies. That would also explain why Trump is so determined to get the case dropped against Michael Flynn, in spite of the fact that Flynn himself has admitted that he's guilty of lying to the FBI during the Russian investigation. If everyone is so guilt-free, why did he have to lie?
.
Trump claims that the investigation was an illegal plot against him, and even sought to have national security officials prosecuted for carrying out the investigation. But the various national security agencies would have been remiss not to investigate the possible collusion of a man seeking the highest office in the land with a foreign adversary. But once Trump's out of office all of that will come out. He knows it, and that would perfectly explain his current desperation. .
While Trump never has a harsh word to say about Vladimir Putin, he thrives on his childish propensity for calling others out of their names. Instead of carrying himself like a serious adult and addressing people by their names or titles, he refers to people like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as “Nervous Nancy”, and President-Elect Joe Biden as “Sleepy Joe”, while again, he only refers to Vladimir Putin with the utmost respect. .
His obvious fear of a foreign American adversary, yet, thoughtless disrespect for officials voted into office by the American people is not only un-American, but the kind of silly and cowardice behavior that one expects from a child, not the President of the United States, yet, Trump sees it as perfectly acceptable, and even witty. . And now that he’s lost the election, instead of accepting his loss and conceding with a little class and dignity, he’s stomping his feet, throwing a tantrum, accusing the Democrats of fraud, and trying to drag down American democracy, even though he doesn’t have one shred of evidence to back up his claim, and that's in spite of the fact that his own Department of Homeland Security says the 2020 election was one of the smoothest and most legitimate elections in this nation's history, and he fired the unit's head for attesting to that fact. So, Donald Trump's clearly allergic to truth, and his behavior is far from the behavior of a responsible head of state, it's the behavior of a petulant, self-serving child . . . a petulant child with something he's desperate to hide.
.
That brings us to another one of his many flaws. Donald Trump is completely delusional. In spite of the fact that he's easily been the most grossly incompetent president to ever step foot in the White House, he was going around talking about not only reigning for a second term, but remaining in office for a third! The reason for his delusions are simple. All through life Trump's had to convince himself that people hated him because he was so brilliantly special that the average person was incapable of understanding him. He had to indulge in that kind of delusion just to maintain his self-esteem. That’s why he’s always bragging and indulging in self-promotion ("I'm really rich", or "I'm the chosen one."), because for Donald, the only thing important in life is trying to get the world to embrace his delusional vision of himself, or at least, who he'd like to be – and due to his gross insecurity, he's prepared to fiercely protect that delusion, even if he has to bring down America (and the entire world) to do it.
.
Trump’s fully aware of the negative impact that the retarded development of his youth has had on his intellectual acuity, so he’s had to manufacture his own reality. He’s been forced to create a world in which selfishness, corruption, and ignorance is a simple way of life. He’s had to create such a world for himself just to maintain his sense of self-esteem. So, he's completely revised his personal reality to create a world where being tough, macho, and “a winner”, takes precedence over knowledge, character, and intelligence - while, he's actually devoid of all of those qualities. . Donald Trump is such a flawed individual that he's completely reliant on a world of delusion just to accept himself. That's why he can look directly into a camera and say he won the election without having any recognition of the fact that he's making a fool of himself before the world. That's how we can be certain that he's unstable, because just like people in mental institutions, he's convinced himself that the world he's created in his mind, is the real world.
.
And many of his conservative supporters share some of Trump's same characteristics, even if not to his pronounced degree. That’s why they’re so loyal to him. The very word “conservative” means to be dedicated to “conserving” past traditions, and since many conservatives are the most undereducated White folks in America, they’re determined to maintain a national tradition that gives them a privileged place in society based on the color of their skin rather than their intellect. Thus, people like these share a passionate desperation with Trump to see themselves as superior that can never be abridged by any other issue. So, like Trump, they share a passionate delusion. Educated Black people have to deal with people like these routinely on a daily basis. That’s why the Republican Party’s attempt to reach out to the Black community is nothing more than a pipe dream. They don't want allies in the pursuit of democracy, they want subservient pets, and that's exactly what Black conservatives are - bigot-huggin' Lassies with a passionate yearning to be pat on the head by White society. .
This conservative insecurity also serves to explain why Donald hates Barack Obama so intensely. Obama’s excellence is a direct threat to Trump's delusion of grandeur – and as an innate bigot, the fact that Barack is a Black man makes the assault on his self-esteem even more intense. Barack Obama represents everything Donald Trump has ever aspired to be. Barack is how Trump sees himself in his fantasies, but he lacks the knowledge, character, and intellect to ever live up to that fantasy, and it's killing him. Trump would do anything to command the love and respect that Barack Obama enjoys throughout the world, but since he lacks Obama's excellence, he's replaced that deficit with hatred, lies, and delusion. . That makes this latest slap in the face unbearable. He's not only loss the election, but he's lost to Barack Obama's former second in command. That's another reason why he can't bring himself to concede. Failing to be able to compete with Obama is bad enough, but failing to be able to compete with one of Barack Obama's former subordinates is more than his fragile ego can bear. . Thus, due to Trump’s petulance, gross insecurity, and his pathological fixation on his own self-interest, his one and only interest in being President of the United States is the power and prestige of the office. He has absolutely no interest in either governing (even if he was capable), or what’s in the best interest of the American people. Clear evidence of that is how completely fixated he is on his claim that he’s being cheated out of the presidency. . While he's found the time to stay on the phone with Republican governors all over the country ranting over the issue, and has found time to file numerous court cases in multiple states to reverse the results of the election - in spite of the fact that the nation is in the midst of the most deadly pandemic of this century (over 145,000 cases of Covid-19 have been newly diagnosed, and 1,500 Americans died just today) - he hasn’t held, or even attended, one meeting on the pandemic in over five months. And while the G20 world leaders have met to discuss possible solutions to the pandemic, Trump chose to go play golf. . But that’s understandable. After all, Trump has to sustain his businesses during the pandemic shutdown, and according to the Washington Post, “In Bedminster this spring, the records show, Trump’s club charged the Secret Service more than $21,800 to rent a cottage and other rooms while the club was closed and otherwise off-limits to guests” - and that doesn’t include food and golf cart rentals for the agents – for a total of $1.1 million in taxpayer funds since he took office. .
Thus, Donald Trump is completely consumed by his own self-interests - after all, what's the death of a few thousand Americans compared to his public humiliation and loss of stature? That's why he's so peeved over the unmitigated gall of our voting him out of office that he's refused to speak to us for over a week - the longest he's maintained public silence in the past four years, and once again, demonstrating the petulance of an eight-year-old child.
.
Donald Trump is a curious sort in that respect. He hasn't been this silent since Vladimir Putin placed a bounty on the lives of American troops, yet, he was up-in-arms and deployed troops to the Mexican border to defend America against what he alleged was an assault on the nation by harmless Mexican immigrants. If he's really so concerned about defending America's borders, why isn't he also raving about building a wall between the United States and Canada?
.
So, you see, for Donnie, life is about Donald Trump. He's what's important, and everything else in life (including the lives of our children) is unimportant. In his self-serving world the American people constitute less than an afterthought, and he views his supporters as just a bunch of motley "means to an end". If he didn't need their support, he wouldn't even bother to speak to them. Yet, as I write, he's stirring them up in the Washington Plaza to attack American democracy on his selfish behalf.
MARY L. TRUMP
So, as I sit here watching the news and listening to Donald Stomp his feet, refuse to concede, and insist that he’s being cheated out of the presidency, I’m reveling in every second of it. I know it’s not a classy thing to do, but what the hell? I’d be the ultimate hypocrite to try to pretend that watching an asshole like Donald go down in the flames of public humiliation is anything short of orgasmic, because he cares absolutely nothing about the welfare of the nation, and he's a petty, self-serving, and miserable human being - and he's also a coward, a bully, and a fraud.

Am I a hater, you ask? You're damn right I'm a hater. I hate injustice. I hate hypocrisy. I also hate demagoguery, apathy, and the stupidity that allows it to exist. Hater? Absolutely. I'm a big time hater. I hate what I see happening to this country, and I hate watching the development of a culture that embraces ignorance with a stupid sense of pride. So yes, I am indeed a hater, but not only that - I'm a hater with a very low threshold for bullshit, so step off.
