Subject: Re: What a Bunch of Bedwetters
How could you feel safer with a President who is an aging, impulsive, divisive, self-serving megalomaniac with his finger on The Button in a world that is already treading perilously close to WWIII?
How would you feel that (again) an impulsive, divisive, self-serving megalomaniac who is a convicted felon (with more serious charges pending), lies constantly, had six businesses go bankrupt, had his charity shut down for fraud, had his university shut down for fraud, and on and on...would be better for the economy than a Democratic candidate who has had a pretty darn good economy? (although a bit of a hangover from Covid and rising fuel prices following the Russia invasion of Ukraine--but those would have hampered anyone)
Do you really think that Trump cares anything about your safety and pocketbook, beyond saying what he thinks will get him elected so he can be famous and powerful? Do you really think he cares about anything beyond himself?
Do you really have no concerns beyond what you perceive as your safety and your pocketbook? You don't care about the environment--the air that you (and others) breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, climate change? You don't care about foreign relations with the other countries that we share this earth with? You don't care about passing on a world to future generations that is better than what we inherited from our parents, who worked so hard to pass on a good world to us? Do you not care about having a leader who ignores mainstream science when it doesn't give the conclusions that he wants it to? Do you not care about having a leader who is trying to systematically dismantle our democracy? Do you not care about having a leader who uses continuous inflammatory rhetoric and calls his opponents childish names, like a bully? You don't care about having a leader with some sort of moral compass?
There is a lot here and you made some really good points. I will attempt to at least address some of them.
Trump is a selfish ass who exploits his willing supporters by selling worthless NFTs and MAGA hats all that. But these are private transactions and those adults want to get duped. I have no business worrying about that.
As a president, he did not start any wars, and he gave me a tax cut. He mishandled Covid pretty badly, but as a stupid voter, I have a short memory and it's done and gone. And he blamed China, which as a patriotic American I fully approve of. Always blame foreign countries.
Yes his record as a businessman is abysmal. He cheats on his taxes, he does not pay his contractors and employees, and at l ast four of his businesses went bankrupt. None of that matters as a president. It matters as a private person only. Clinton and Whitewater. Biden and Burisma. Need I say more at least to the older crowd here.
I realize that he puts himself first, his children second, and his supporters a distant third. He kisses the flag, but got out of Vietnam just like Clinton and other Democrats and Republicans did. I am sure he's surprised that his ostentatious fakery in kissing the flag was completely lost on his supporters. But I bet he's happy about it.
And no, as an American I have absolutely no bigger concern than not getting murdered by the horde of illegal immigrants rampaging and murdering across the country, and not paying more taxes. I pay lip service to the environment but I don't really care about it as much as I care about these two.
Fire Biden if you want to keep your power and the ability do anything good. Otherwise, Trump will win and all of your nightmares will come true.
