Trump Can’t Handle the Truth

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump “never does anything wrong,” just ask him. I know about two big mistakes. His first act of stupidity was agreeing to run for the presidency in 2016. However, he really didn’t have a choice. From his first meeting with Vladimir Putin 37 years ago, he was a huge part of a plan to destroy the United States of America. Part of the plan was bailing out Trump’s failing businesses. Trump was and is indebted to the Russian President.

Trump didn’t want to become the President of the United States. His life was where he wanted to be. He was a part of New York’s “high society,” playing the role of a billionaire. He associated with some of the world’s elite, and Jeffrey Epstein was one of his closest friends.

As the illegitimate leader of the free world, he was constantly in view of the public. Afflicted with a condition known as malignant narcissism, part of him craved the attention. But when the “real Donald Trump” was exposed, his “perfect life” was exposed as well.

Today, the whole world is aware that what he allowed everyone to see was a façade. In reality, his life is a tale of failure and criminal activity. Today everyone sees a decrepit, old, obese man who is hated and despised without a single real friend to call his own.

DESPERATION FORCED A SECOND MISTAKE SATURDAY NIGHT

Trump is desperate to win the November election. He is guilty of all the charges against him, and more. “Big Adolf” is literally scared to death that he will spend the remainder of his life in a federal prison. If he wins the election, he will pardon himself and be free from additional prosecution. Before you ask, yes, a sitting president can pardon himself. It is legal, but extremely unethical.

Trump and his team of incompetent attorneys are afraid that Robert Kennedy Jr. could force a split among Republican voters. On Saturday night, the Libertarian Party had its annual convention.

Although the Libertarian Party has yet to choose a candidate, Trump needs every vote he can get. The party was split about inviting the old man to speak, and it was no surprise that when he walked on the stage, he received a barrage of jeers and name calling.

Insults included his COVID-19 policies, running up towering federal deficits and lying about his political record. All valid assessments of his failures as America’s worst  president.

The boos were constant throughout his pitiful speech. His ego was crushed: these were definitely not his “people.”

CERTAINLY THE LAST TIME HE SPEAKS IN FRONT OF ANY CROWD WHICH IS NOT LIKE-MINDED

This event proved that Trump is dumber than I thought. The size of the audience attending his hate-filled rallies includes men and women who share his “beliefs.” They are 99.99% white, poorly educated, and share Trump’s hatred for the values and principles this country called America stands for.

As we witnessed on January 6, 2021, Trump’s supporters are composed of Neo-Nazis and other sympathizers who support racism, bigotry, and the fascist policies of Adolf Hitler in 1930’s Germany. Not a single patriotic American supports Trump and his anti-American policies.

TIRED OF THE HARRASSMENT, TRUMP RESPONDED

After his ego was crushed, Trump responded.

[As the insults continued, Trump eventually hit back, saying “you don't want to win” and suggesting that some Libertarians want to “keep getting your 3% every four years.”]

A typically weak response. Trump will never be accused of “mastering the English language.”

A few facts to consider: No one is happy that the 2024 election will be a rematch between the 2020 candidates.

The average age of all Americans is 38.4 years. No one is pleased that the two candidates in 2024 will be 78 and 81 on election day. At virtually the same age, they are out of touch with the needs, wishes, and beliefs of Americans who are less than one-half their age.

I know a little about the character of both men, and, as a writer, I have learned a lot about younger Americans.

First and foremost, most Americans age 40 and under hate politics. I join them. I find it repulsive and unforgivable that political parties continue to exist. The members of both parties seek power, prestige, and the wealth they receive by winning elections, and winning elections is priority number one. Serving the people of our country, addressing their needs and wishes, is far down on their list of “things to do.”

Most younger Americans reject prejudice. Racially mixed couples and the children they produce are becoming the norm. Women are not viewed as the “weaker sex,” inferior to men. Fewer young Americans are converting to organized religion than at any other time in our country’s history. I doubt that most of the old, mostly white men in Washington are fully aware of any of these facts.

However, as they say, “it is what it is.”

I know that another four years of Donald John Trump could destroy America. I must also admit that prior to the 2020 election, my estimation of Mr. Biden was relatively low.

However, President Biden’s accomplishments are impressive. Most significantly, the most important issue for voters is always the economy. In that area, Mr. Biden’s policies have been impressive. The economy of the United States of America is the best it has been in a quarter of a century.

The choice is clear. The future of the American people will be best served by President Biden’s reelection.
