U.S. Government Officials Who are Loyal to Trump and Putin

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

The Freedom Caucus, Moscow Mitch McConnell, and several right-wing Senators: these are some of our nation’s elected officials who are traitors to their nation and loyal to Trump and Putin, not to the American people.

Trump is not real. What you see is a façade. He never was our country’s president. He never was a successful businessman. He is not an American. Donald John Trump is an opportunist: a con man who has become a cult leader, not unlike Jim Jones or David Koresh. The story of his life reveals a life of crime and immoral behavior not seen before other than in movies.

LET’S RETURN TO THE 2016 CAMPAIGN: THE BEGINNING OF AMERICA’S DISGRACE AND SHAME

The 2016 campaign season began very early. Ted Cruz, who had been a senator for only two years, with a single accomplishment, shutting down the government, announced his intention to win the Republican presidential nomination on March 23, 2015, at Liberty University. The University staff announced that attending the rally was mandatory. However, several of the students were wearing t-shirts in support of Rand Paul.

Trump rode several escalators down from his garish gold tower to announce his candidacy in June of 2015. Most writers, including yours truly, laughed. There was no way an old, obese, white man, who had failed to accomplish anything in his life could become the leader of 330 million American people.

The first Republican debate was hosted by FOX News on August 3, 2015. This debacle set the tone for future fake debates during which not a single issue important to the American people was discussed. Name calling, personal attacks, and demeaning nicknames became standard operating procedure. Not a single debate monitor had the courage to halt the sideshow and conduct a legitimate discussion about the problems facing our nation.

17 wannabes occupied the “clown car,” and each of them received attacks from the orange buffoon.

Trump won most of the Republican primaries. Right wing voters obviously ignored the real Donald Trump who constantly exposed himself as an ignorant and poorly educated clown who was the least qualified presidential candidate in our nation’s history.

Prior to the Republican Convention in July of 2016, the only threat to Trump’s nomination was Ted Cruz. However, Trump ramped up his personal attacks on the man who has become known as “the worst senator in American history.”

Trump attacked Heidi Cruz, virtually calling her “ugly,” and “fat.” He didn’t stop there. He claimed that Cruz’ father, a minister, helped Lee Harvey Oswald murder President John Kennedy.

After the convention, Cruz displayed a level of hypocrisy I would never have believed possible. He began to campaign for the obese old man and sung his praises to all who would listen. Billionaire Robert Mercer, who had funded Cruz’ campaign, moved his money, campaign manager, Steve Bannon, and “front man,” Kellyanne Conway, to Trump’s campaign in August.

After Trump’s illegitimate win in the Electoral College, Republican Senators and Representatives began to abandon their principles and morals and offer their fealty to “Big Adolf.” In 2024, the number of right-wing politicians not devoted to Trump can be counted on one hand.

PROTECTING TRUMP AND PUTIN WHILE IGNORING THE NEEDS AND WISHES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

During and after his illegitimate presidency, Trump has been exposed. “The real Donald Trump” is a lifetime criminal, a failure at everything, a sexual predator, the leader of America’s white supremacy movement, a homophobe, a xenophobe, and considers Adolf Hitler an idol.

A growing number of right-wing extremists in Washington are openly supporting Trump, and protecting the vile actions of Vladimir Putin. The 32 members of what is known as the Freedom Caucus continue to oppose aid for Ukraine while displaying their admiration for Putin and his illegal and immoral invasion of a democratic nation.

In the Senate, Cruz, Josh Hawley, Tommy Tuberville, Ron Johnson, Marco Rubio, John Thune, Katie Britt, Marsha Blackburn, Lindsey Graham, Rick Scott, JD Vance, and others confirm that their loyalty is to Trump and therefore Putin, not to their country and our people.

ONLY ONE LABEL APPLIES TO TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: TRAITORS

As some of you may know, my interest in American politics began at the age of 10, in 1956. I grew up believing that the men and a handful of women who served in Washington were intelligent, had moral character, and were eager to serve the American people. I was naïve.

Of the 545 men and women running our government today, very few have a moral compass, even fewer have a level of intelligence required to lead 330 million people, and fewer yet get into politics to serve the American people. Their personal ambitions are priority number one.

Thanks to Trump and Moscow Mitch McConnell, my last hope, the Supreme Court, is now as corrupt as the legislative branch.

America has the worst government in the world. They are not only incompetent, corruption is rampant.

No one in our nation’s history will ever be less qualified to run for any political office than Trump. Our President must be an American. He or she must have a strong moral compass, and serve all of our nation’s people. Trump has none of these qualities. We had a lifelong criminal defiling our White House for four years, he cannot be allowed to embarrass our nation again.
