Is Trump a Fascist Dictator? You Tell Me

I have a question to which I know I already have the answer, but I want you to tell me what you believe, unless you have been brainwashed by Trump and Fox News for the last 10 years. If you look at the facts and listen to your heart, would you describe Trump as a dictator today?

Let’s begin with the facts, something Trump, his party, and his supporters hate more than anything else in the world.

As he did in 2017, Trump is violating the Constitution every day he remains your illegitimate president. He is exercising powers which do not belong to the executive branch. In 2024, the corrupt and biased Supreme Court appeared to give him absolute power. However, this is not a reality. The once respected Court has become the most prejudiced and corrupt legal entity in American history.

When our Founding Fathers wrote and signed the Law of the Land in 1789, their primary goal was to guarantee that the executive branch was the least powerful of all three “separate but equal” branches of our government. The purpose was clear; America would never have a king, or an autocrat in any form. To violate this basic premise is tantamount to committing an act of treason.

Trump is remaking Washington, not for the betterment of our nation and its people, but for the benefit of himself and his oligarchs. Day by day he is removing the accomplishments of his predecessors over the last 60-70 years.

America has never been a “great country,” and it is far worse under Trump’s fascist rule. However, it was moving in the right direction until Putin’s puppet illegally won the Electoral College in 2016. As more questions arise, it is becoming clear that Putin’s interference in 2024 once again resulted in America being led by a man who is not legally our nation’s legitimate president. America’s totally incompetent government failed us once more.

Most importantly, Trump is ignoring the needs and wishes of the American people. Why? He and his Russian handler have no interest in the future of 340 million people.

I say again: Trump is not an American. He has no respect for anyone. In private, he calls his own supporters “basement dwellers.” Only Trump matters to Trump, and this is the tale of his pitiful and worthless 78 years.

No one who refuses to love their country as much as I do will ever be my president.
