Outrage
I have
had many people bitch me out because I say I don't respect Donald Trump. They
say things like "we endured 8 years of Obama, suck it up buttercup."
My response to that. FUCK YOU. Period. This man-child in the White House does
not deserve my respect, and he will never get it. This is not a normal
president. We have a proto-dictator in the White House, and those of us who see
it CANNOT remain silent. Just a short list of his high crimes and misdemeanors"
He
colluded with Russia, whether he was successful or not does not matter. He may
very well have failed at that jut like he fails at every single thing he does.
That does not matter, intent to betray is as much a crime as success in the act.
He actively worked with a known adversary of the United States to try to swing
an election, asking Russia, on primetime TV to hack his opponent and spread
information.
Since
then, he has ripped into our traditional allies and NATO, while embracing Putin.
He has waffled on mutual defense agreements that date back 70 years. He has
turned his back on the countries that have stood by us for decades, and even
centuries for some. I was raised in a military family, I have had generation
after generation, all the way back to the American Revolution, fight, and
sometimes die, for this country. This action is no less than treason, a treason
for which he should be hung by the neck until dead, as American Law dictates.
I'm surprised Ronald Reagan hasn't risen from the grave over this one.
But that
isn't it. He treats women like the only asset they have is beauty. He publicly
degrades women, insults them openly. Thanks to his behavior, sexual
discrimination against women has risen dramatically. He has publicly tried to
shame women with the most vile insults I have ever seen, literally suggesting
the reason one anchor was hard on him was because she was on her period, and
claiming another was "bleeding badly from a face lift." This sort of
behavior is revolting in any context, let alone coming from our supposed
president.
He is
openly racist. He calls Hispanics "Rapists." He calls for complete
bans on Muslims. (Except for ones in countries that he does business in, those
are OK, even if they did actually fund terrorism, unlike the countries affected
by the travel ban.) He has created an environment in this country where little
children are TERRIFIED of their government, and terrified that at any moment
their parents could be taken away from them. Hate crimes in this country are
exploding. White supremacists are openly marching, and claiming that their day
has finally arrived. Blacks are being told by elected leaders to "go back
to Africa."
But even
the naked racism, sexism and treason isn't enough. He trashes the Constitution,
a document which, by that way, one of my ancestors SIGNED. He runs roughshod
over checks and balances, referring to the Judiciary as "so called
judges." He tells the Senate to end the Filibuster, which is an essential
tool to help preserve the rights of the minority against the will of the
majority. (And remember, not that long ago, the Republicans WERE that minority
being protected.)
But
worse, he is treating this country like his own personal wealth machine. He has
refused to divest from his companies, refused to distance himself from the day
to day running of his companies, refused to stop promoting the "Trump
Brand." He is treating the presidency as a money making opportunity, and
inspiring others in the government to do much the same. This violation of the
Emoluments Clause will complete the transition of our country to a kleptocracy.
He has
eviscerated government, handing vast power to his children, people who we
didn't elect or confirm through the Senate. Almost all functions of the State
Department are now being handled by his children, which is what occurs in
banana republics. He has shut down the war crimes office, which sends a signal
that the United States is no longer interested in prosecuting those crimes on
the world stage. I find it funny that just a decade ago, we started a war in
the Middle East because of supposed war crimes, but now can't even be bothered
to have an office to investigate them.
He has
eliminated the FBI investigation department tasked with looking at Right Wing
Terrorists, a group which, according to the FBI itself, has had far more
success in attacking Americans than Muslim Terror Groups collectively, and
which have killed, in the last 50 years, more people than died on 9/11.
In six
short months, he has taken a wrecking ball to this country. Every day, the news
is more and more like a reality TV show. Every day, he becomes more and more
unhinged, attacking any organization or any person that doesn't kowtow to him.
He treats his administration like it is some sort of ratings game. He has even
had the audacity to suggest he should be put on Mount Rushmore. I will blow the
fucking mountain up myself before allowing that atrocity to happen.
So no, I
am not going to treat him with respect. And if you don't like that, you can go
fuck yourself. Just like Trump is fucking the country I love.
