Trump 2.0 is Far More F**ked Up

Trump and his first administration were incompetent, ignorant, unqualified, arrogant, losers, and nothing more than pretenders. If you remember how horrific they were and how badly they failed their responsibilities, you are beginning to experience “Trump 2.0.”

First, a personal comment. In my 78 years I have learned that great wealth and intelligence are not synonyms. Most of our nation’s 813 billionaires are men and women who had one talent, but fail to have a general knowledge about anything else, and have absolutely no common sense.

That said, the orange buffoon’s second administration is filled with billionaires and wannabes. Politicians like Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and Tulsi Gabbard failed to perform in their first jobs, and are now taking their incompetence to the executive branch.

It is laughable that a complete airhead like Gabbard is now your Director of National Intelligence. I doubt she is able to spell ‘intelligence.’

Noem is the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is a big job, and a failed governor from one of our least populated states has no experience or ability to be effective.

Then there’s “little Marco Rubio.” He was known as the laziest Senator on Capitol Hill. During the 2016 primaries, he proved that he is void of any talent as a public speaker and has never been known as a diplomat. I laugh every time I see his face on the internet.

My latest target is Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent.

His position demands support for Trump’s policies, however disastrous they might be. But a single comment confirms that he is a man with a low level of intelligence and chooses to ignore irrefutable facts.

He told the press that ‘Trump’s tariffs have nothing to do with the stock market’s deep plunge, and the fact that trillions of dollars have already been lost.’ Maximum bullshit from another useless tool who owes his loyalty to Trump and Putin.

This reminds me of the darkest day in American history, January 5, 2021. My wife and I watched all three of the horrific hours and know the truth, However, Fox, Newsmax, and other right-wing propaganda machines lied, calling it a ‘peaceful protest.’ It was clearly a violent insurrection, and the villains are now back on our city’s streets thanks to the worst, illegitimate president in history.

Trump, his party, and his fake news networks are attempting to brainwash every American. They are desperate to make themselves appear wise and competent. However, like the lies about January 6, Trump and his people are the worst and most unqualified men and women on the planet. They are not interested in the people of our country, they are working for themselves and their Fuhrer.

Trump is moving at warp speed to destroy the good in America. If he had moved half as quickly when he first learned about the dangers of Covid-19 in December of 2019, many of the more than one million deaths from the Coronavirus could have been saved. However, his personal policy of “do nothing and it will just go away” makes him a murderer.

I know the “real Donald Trump,” do you? He is far more evil and far more ignorant than most would like to believe.
