The Priorities of a Senile Old Man

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
This situation did not exist one month ago. Today, the 2024
presidential race is between two candidates who are literally as different as
male and female. Two months ago the voting public would have been forced to
choose between two old, white men, neither of which excited the electorate.
Today, only one, old, white man remains in the race, and he
is displaying signs of decline in both his physical and mental abilities. At a
rally in Pennsylvania Saturday, Trump displayed his lack of ability to focus on
the issues of his campaign and revealed his desperate need for personal
approval.
[Donald Trump obsessed over Kamala Harris’s appearance yet
again during a campaign rally in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Saturday – this
time declaring that he’s “better looking” than his Democratic rival and mocking
those who call her “beautiful”.]
He continued with what he considered the most important
issue of the day.
“Time magazine doesn’t have a picture of [Harris]. They have
this unbelievable artist drawing her and I said ‘Is that Sophia Loren?’ I
couldn’t tell,” Trump told the crowd of supporters.
TRUMP IS NOTHING BUT A NEEDY, OLD MAN
Trump’s campaign has nothing to do with service to 330
million people. His campaign is about soothing a fragile ego, getting revenge
on his many enemies, possessing the ability to pardon himself for multiple
egregious crimes, and preventing the embarrassment of losing for a third time,
and to of all people, a Black woman.
Yes, I did say for the “third time.” His Electoral College
victory on November 8, 2016 has been proven illegitimate and secured through
the efforts of the leader of a foreign nation. In addition, our own government
refused to inform the voting public about efforts by Vladimir Putin to secure a
win for Trump. Trump told the truth: the election was rigged.
This election is all about him, not the United States of
America. Not once has he chosen to reveal a single policy which would improve
the lives of all 330 million Americans. There is a reason for this. He made it
perfectly clear that he will only represent those who serve him.
LET’S END THIS WITH WHAT MATTERS
Qualifications, experience, and moral character are of
extreme importance when a candidate is seeking the presidency.
Prior to the 2016 election, Trump had never been involved in
any level of government in America. I have no knowledge whether or not he is
involved with the Russian government, other than with President Putin.
Some will say that he had four years of experience between
2017 and 2021. This would be inaccurate to say the least. When he wasn’t
golfing, visiting one of his resorts, spending weekends at Mar-a-Lago, holding
one of his infamous hate rallies, watching FOX News, or texting, he scheduled
just three hours each day for business in the Oval Office. Records prove that
his only accomplishment in four years was in the form of permanent tax breaks
for the super-rich.
His biggest failure was to perform the job for which he was
illegitimately elected. At the end of 2019, he was warned of an oncoming health
emergency. However, he ignored the danger until mid-March when Americans began
to lose their lives related to infection from Covid-19. His only “action” was
to repeat his claim that “it will just go away.”
Kamala Harris was a prosecutor in California prior to her
election as the state’s Attorney General. She was elected to the United States
Senate in November of 2016, where she served until asked to join Joe Biden’s
presidential campaign in 2020.
Contrary to television ads, paid for by Trump’s campaign,
her record is spotless. She is not a judge, and could not have released
immigrants from incarceration or deportment. Her reputation was that of a
prosecutor who was fair but tough. She displayed those same attributes in the
Senate.
Ms. Harris cannot be compared to Trump. She is 20 years his
junior and continues to display the energy necessary to be a working president.
To my knowledge, she does not golf, nor does she own a resort with access
restricted to millionaires and billionaires only.
Most importantly, her early policy statements are focused on
improving the quality of life for all 330 million Americans.
Our choice is clear: accept the “best” the right-wing has to
offer, or elect someone who will serve our Country, our people. Kamala Harris
in 2024.
Please vote.
