Trump is a Bully; All Bullies Are Cowards
A draft dodger, a bully, a womanizer, a con artist: these
are all terms which can accurately be used to describe Donald John Trump. Words
which cannot be attached to Trump are caring, compassionate, kind, intelligent,
generous, or leader.
Like all egomaniacs, Trump enjoys having power over others,
but is incapable of accepting even minor criticism from anyone.
A little-known fact about Trump’s first illegitimate
presidency has been ignored and probably hidden from the American people by the
mainstream media, adds to the analysis of the real Donald Trump.
After the federal execution of Billie Allen in 2003, not a
single death row inmate had been executed by the federal government until
2019-2020. Trump approved of and even hurried the deaths of 13 federal
prisoners.
After his controversial reelection last November 5th,
he pledged to increase the number of executions after his inauguration.
In an obvious response to Trump’s blood lust, President
Biden recently commuted the death sentences of 37 of the 40 inmates currently
on death row in federal prisons.
As you might have expected, the President has been praised
and criticized by individuals and groups across the nation. To no one’s
surprise, Trump and his fascist party are angry. Trump was excited about the
opportunity to kill more people. I find this an extreme case of hypocrisy.
Trump has caused enormous pain and harm to many people in
his 78 years. His tale is a story about a lifetime criminal. If we add his
intentional failure to protect our nation’s people from the deadly coronavirus
which arrived in the United States in 2020, Trump is the most prolific mass
murderer in our nation’s history.
In December of 2019, one of his aides, assigned to read the
Presidents Daily Brief, informed him of the emerging threat which would become
known and “Covid-19.” He ignored the information until the media became aware
that the deadly virus was responsible for a growing number of deaths in Asia
and Europe. His response was another lie. He claimed that America was better
prepared and that “it would just go away.”
He repeated this lie until March, when Americans began to
lose their fight against the deadly pandemic. Trump continued to do nothing as
the pharmaceutical industry began to create a vaccine to protect American lives,
and the lives of people around the world.
More than one-million lives were lost and healthcare
professionals agree that if Trump had taken action in January of 2020, at least
ten percent of those lives might have been spared. Common sense tells me that
Trump is responsible for at least 100,000 deaths in America.
He is also directly responsible for the five people who died
and the 174 police officers who were injured on January 6, 2021 when he
attempted to violently overthrow our government.
Why is Trump not on death row today instead of preparing for
his inauguration? The answer is frightening and lethal to our nation’s future:
politicians and the super-rich are above the law. This means that the United
States is truly a country without laws. Justice is not blind, she is
prejudiced.
Many of you are most likely opposed to the actions of
President Biden. If that is your opinion, your belief, I understand.
Personally, I am opposed to the death penalty for several
reasons. The most important are doubt and the reality of being human.
I fear that in our nation’s history many individuals have
been executed lawfully or illegally for crimes they did not commit. Innocence
projects across America have saved hundreds of lives since the use of DNA
evidence became common practice.
I believe that life in prison without the possibility of
parole is a far greater punishment for many than the loss of one’s life. I
consider executions archaic and belong in the past along with many other pagan practices.
Finally, regardless of what heinous crimes they committed,
they are human beings, and time offers them an opportunity to repent their offenses
and possibly attempt to make restitution to their victim’s surviving families.
Trump is a typical coward. He enjoys performing actions
which harm and kill others, but would never take action himself. How many times
have you heard him at his rallies when a heckler dared to call him what he is
tell his supporters to “beat him up and get him out of here?”
I have written several times that I believe the attempt to
assassinate Trump was staged. No one can answer the most important question: “where
is the bullet which allegedly nicked his ear?” I believe that when Trump ducked
behind the podium, he used an old professional wrestler’s trick and used a
razorblade to make a small cut on his right ear.
Regardless, I commend President Biden’s actions. Someone in
our government must do the right thing on occasion.
