Trump: An Epic Failure

It has finally happened.

One of the worst President in the history of the US-certainly, the worst President in recent memory will be gone from office in disgrace. In four years, has debased this great country, the office of the Presidency and made a mockery of America. He managed to further divide an already fractured country and was all too happy to do it because this is where he really connected with his base.

In a matter of hours America will turn the page on 4 years of carnage, confusion, and ineffectual and incompetent leadership.

In less than a year, 400,000 Americans died under Trump’s watch. Perplexingly, many less developed countries have gotten a much better handle on the Coronavirus than the United States and lot of that can be attributed to Trump’s failures. We all saw the audio interview with legendary journalist Bob Woodward. Mr Trump knew that the Coronavirus would be more than just a “common cold” He knew that it was a deadly virus that should have been attacked head on yet he did nothing about it. There is no question that less people would have died had Trump done his job properly. Studies have shown that his negligence and apathy have resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. It would not be hyperbole to suggest that Trump allowed Americans to be killed under his watch. He is a murderer, yet most people have not talked about this in detail.

Under Donald’s presidency, a free pass was given to the worst elements of American society. His administration encouraged and hatred and begrudgingly denounced virulent hate groups. Trump emboldened racists, white supremacists, and anti-American traitors. He even had an avowed white supremacist as a senior adviser (Steven Miller). He ordered police to violently disperse crowds in order to get a photo op at a church with a bible held upside down. He refused to denounce police brutality and of course incited a never-before-seen riot on Capitol Hill.

He did not want to leave the presidency, so Donald employed every avenue to overturn a free and fair election he lost by 7 million votes. He first laid the groundwork weeks before the election and galvanized his base by baselessly claiming that the election would be rigged if he did not win it. Then, after losing the election, his legal team went through the courts by filing meritless lawsuits. When that strategy failed miserably, he called the Georgian Secretary of State to implore him to find-meaning fabricate- 11,000 votes he did not earn. Ironically enough, this was voter fraud- the same accusations he hurled towards freedom loving Americans he and his party’s effort to disenfranchise millions of voters who don’t look like them or didn’t vote for them. Unsurprisingly, Trump’s attack on democracy left a deleterious impact on it. From now on, thanks to Donald Trump and traitors like Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley, corrupt politicians will be able to “win” elections in which they were defeated provided the Secretary of State is on their side.

At his inauguration in 2017 Trump said, “This American carnage stops right here and right now.”

Unfortunately. most of the American carnage Don the Con has brought on the United States will not come to an end tomorrow at 12pm but his presidency sure will.
