Even Trump Fears Zohran Mamdani
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
Most of you are too young to remember the 1960 election.
Both Democrats and Republicans feared John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He was
charismatic, handsome, extremely well-spoken, and inspired both men and women.
I was only 14 years old. Obviously, I could not vote, but
like most other young Americans, I saw something in then Senator Kennedy which
excited me; gave me hope.
Democrats feared his candidacy because he was a Catholic. In
1928 Al Smith, also a Catholic and the Democratic presidential nominee, was
badly beaten by Republican Herbert Hoover.
Similar fears arose on both sides in 2008. Barack Obama was
also brilliant, and a great public speaker who inspired everyone who listened
to him. However, some Democrats feared that our nation may not have been ready
for its first Black President.
Republicans were also divided. Their candidate was the
Senator from Arizona, a man respected by members of both parties, John McCain
However, Senator Obama was younger and had a broader appeal. One decision may
have sealed Senator McCain’s fate: his selection of extremist Sarah Palin as
his running mate.
The latest politician feared by Democrats and Republicans
alike is New York Mayoral candidate, Democrat Zohran Mamdani.
New Yorkers love him because he understands their problems
and offers logical solutions.
Republicans, including Trump, fear his growing popularity.
Democrats fear him because he shares Bernie Sanders’ support for moving our
nation from a capitalistic society, which has grown into a plutocracy, into a
country governed by Democratic Socialism.
This should not surprise anyone who understands what is
happening in Washington today. Democrats are mostly cowards. They would rather
allow Trump to rebuild our nation based on fascism, rather than support a truly
progressive agenda.
As a man who loves both history and politics, I can tell you
one absolute truth about the relationship between our presidents and the
people.
Only one of 47 presidents placed the majority of our nation’s
people in priority number one every time, regardless of political implications.
This made him unbeatable in every election from 1932 until his death in 1945.
When Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act
in 1935, he placed into law the most important piece of legislation ever passed
in congress. It was perfect. It would be totally funded by mandatory contributions
from both employees and their employers. At the age of 65, every man and woman
who contributed to the plan would begin receiving monthly checks based on the amount
of their contributions. It was perfect. Nothing would come from the general
fund with the exception of administering the program.
The reason for the financial woes related to Social Security
today is easily explained. Our incompetent and self-serving legislators added
six other programs to Social Security. They expected working men and women and
their employers to pay for services received by other Americans. In simple
words, our government embezzled money from the people who contributed to Social
Security.
While Trump is attempting to become the Fuhrer of a fascist
nation, his greatest fear is from anyone who supports the exact opposite of his
plans. Mr. Mamdani is one of his prime targets and a real threat to those who
support a Nazi in the White House.
Trump is openly attempting to control the results of the
mayoral election. Mamdani recently released Trump’s efforts, efforts which are forbidden
by law.
“The fact is that the president has three candidates in this
race: one that he’s directly been in touch with, another that he bailed out of
legal trouble, and now functionally controls, and the final one literally being
a member of the same Republican Party,” he said, referring to Cuomo, current
Mayor Eric Adams, and Republican mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa.
Trump continues to prove that he is America’s greatest and
longest criminal. However, thanks to six members of the most corrupt Supreme
Court in history, Trump IS above the law.
