Trump Wants Four More Years to Complete his Destructive and Backwards Policies

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I begin with a very disturbing but real fact that I and my
wife are patriotic Americans who are on a fixed income and struggle to survive
in 2024. Trump, who is a traitor, a convicted felon, an admitted sexual
predator, and suggests that he would be the first fascist dictator in our nation’s
history, is allowed to run for the presidency and is living the life of a
billionaire. This is not the America I remember in my youth.
Presidential Historians rate Donald Trump the worst
president in history. Let’s take a look at a few of the actions which occurred early
in the Trump administration, and how he is solely responsible for the lessening
of the average American’s quality of life. It is an irrefutable fact that if
the orange buffoon should win the 2024 election, he will bring our nation to
the brink of oblivion.
TRUMP WASTED NO TIME IN DESTROYING HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
GUARANTEED BY THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
I will not be discussing Trump’s many criminal violations
over four years, including two impeachments, the January 6 insurrection, or his
multiple violations of the Espionage Act with the theft of national secrets.
This is about his attempts to destroy everything which made the United States
of America “the great experiment.” Freedom in every aspect and protecting the basic
human rights of individuals made America unique in the world. Most countries
who support democracy generalize, protecting the rights of the many. In
America, if an individual does not present a danger to the rights of others, he
or she is encouraged to celebrate that which makes them special.
This will be a very small sampling of Trump’s attacks
founded in his racist beliefs and support for bigotry and baseless hatred for
everyone but “his people.”
Trump’s first constitutional violation came just seven days
after the smallest inauguration in history. He signed an executive order
banning Muslims from entering our country. Exceptions were given to his friends
and benefactors in Saudi Arabia, and any other nation in which Trump owned a
hotel with his name on it.
On February 3rd, he signed an executive order
which eliminated many of the rules put in place after the great recession which
prevented Wall Street from literally stealing from their customers to increase
their personal wealth. This began his efforts to destroy the Consumer
Protection Agency.
On February 9, Trump signed three executive orders “to fight
crime, gangs, and drugs; restore law and order; and support the dedicated men
and women of law enforcement.” Civil rights groups considered these vague orders
an afront to the civil rights of suspected and convicted criminals.
Direct attacks on the poor and women’s rights.
[On March 6, a week after Trump called on lawmakers to
repeal the Affordable Care Act during his address to Congress, House
Republicans released a proposal to replace the ACA with a law that would end
the Medicaid program as we know it and defund Planned Parenthood.] His hastily
constructed “plan,” would have left more than 24 million Americans without any
form of healthcare.
On March 16, Trump proposed an additional $54 billion increase
in military funding, and remove $54 billion from other programs not related to
Pentagon spending. He also proposed an initial budget of $4.1 billion to build
his wall through 2018.
These are just some of the actions removing progressive
actions and programs accomplished over the last six or seven decades, and Trump
demanded these and more in his first 60 days in office. You can read many more
on the attached article.
LONG TERM EFFECTS FROM THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY
When Trump was evicted from the White House on January 20,
2021, he took with him an estimated 14 boxes of classified documents. However,
he left Washington without a plan to distribute the Covid-19 vaccine, our
economy nearing a second Great Depression, and the addition of more than three
trillion dollars to the national debt created by a failed economic policy and
wasteful personal spending.
Our country cannot survive another Trump presidency. When he
was occasionally in the White House, every action he called “his
accomplishments” harmed our nation and its people.
Mr. Biden saved our nation. The economy is in excellent
shape. In four short years a working president and his fiscal policy repaiared
the damage caused by the incompetence of the Trump administration, and today
our economy is in the best shape it has been since 1999.
Only a loyal American should wear the title of President of
the United States, and that is not Donald John Trump.
