Where Am I? What? No Way
Op-ed by

I had a dream, at least I wish it was nothing but a bad
dream. In this dream, I fell asleep on November 7, 2016, and when I woke up, my
surroundings told me it was the beginning of another, ordinary day. However, the
events of that day and what I heard on television told me that I was no longer
in the United States of America.
The date on my computer was January 19, 2017. The primary
story on television news was about the events of January 20, and the
inauguration of our nation’s 45th president. However, the picture
displayed on the screen showed Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton. What the
fuck?
This was not possible. Not only was Hillary far ahead in the
polls, Trump was a joke, He was the least qualified man in history to seek the office
of President of the United States. He was a complete failure in the private
sector, and the Manhattan real estate community was aware that he was a white-collar
criminal. He had a reputation as a sexual predator who had been Jeffrey Epstein’s
closest friend for more than 15 years. This couldn’t happen in my America. I
began to think that this country, the one I was in on that day, was not the
country in which I was born in 1946.
From that place
in time, my nightmare only became worse.
THE NATION I HAD
LOVED FOR 71 YEARS WAS UNDER ATTACK
Trump “hit the ground, running.” His executive orders were
filled with violations of the Constitution, and it was clear that his plans for
America did not include a single campaign promise.
When he began his attacks on NATO, it was clear that he was attempting
to assist his handler, Vladimir Putin, in his lifelong ambition to dismantle
the organization which is the only reason there has not been a WWIII. Article five
of the NATO charter guarantees that if one nation is attacked, we are all under
attack.
Trump displayed a level of racism and bigotry unimaginable
for any man or woman who receives the honor of wearing the label of President
of the United States. After the tragic events of a white power rally in Charlottesville,
Virginia, he revealed the truth: he is the leader of America’s Neo Nazi Party.
As he stood before the television cameras, he shocked every
true American, saying, “there were good people on both sides.”
The worst parts of my nightmare were yet to come.
TRUMP BECOMES THE “DON” OF THE WASHINGTON MAFIA AND THE
GREATEST CRIMINAL IN AMERICAN HISTORY
When an aide assigned to read the President’s Daily Brief
informed him of a probable healthcare crisis in December of 2019, he ignored
the information. When the press questioned him about the threat of another
coronavirus coming to American in 2020, he told them, “it will just go away.”
He continued to lie to the American people until the first American died from
Covid-19 in March. Healthcare experts believe that Trump’s failure to take
immediate action is directly responsible for at least 10 percent of all deaths
related to the coronavirus.
More than a million Americans lost their lives, and our
nation’s economy was rushing towards a second Great Depression.
If you think that was bad, you ain’t seen nonthin’ yet.
THE BIG LIE, TREASON, AND THE DIVISION OF AMERICA’S PEOPLE
After attempting to overturn the results of the 2020
election, the “fairest and most secure in history,” according to Christopher
Krebs, his own Election Czar, he, members of his administration, and leaders of
various Neo-Nazi groups met at the Willard Hotel. The purpose was to plan and
organize a coup, an insurrection, on January 6, 2021, the day Congress would
certify the results of Electoral College vote.
On that very day, my wife and I were watching television.
The show was interrupted with the usual words: “Breaking News.”
A few minutes later, Trump stepped onto a makeshift podium.
His words were simple and shocking. He ordered the coup to begin.
For the next three hours we watched the violent actions of
hundreds of traitors to our country as they broke windows, doors, and defecated
on the walls and floors of the Capitol Building, as they searched the building
for Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, intending to hang them on the gallows constructed
outside. I will forever remember this day as the darkest in America’s 250
years.
We later learned that Trump was doing the same thing: watching
the events on a television adjacent to the Oval Office, smiling. Pure treason.
When he was evicted from the White House on January 20, he
committed the greatest crime against our nation for the second time. When he
left the White House, he took with him an estimated 14 boxes of national
secrets in violation of the Espionage Act.
WHEN THAT NIGHTMARE ENDED, ANOTHER BEGAN
On the morning of November 6, 2024, hell on earth and an
even more frightening nightmare had begun. In what was undoubtedly a rigged
election, according to several of America’s most respected tech agencies, Trump
had been gifted another illegitimate term in our White House.
If I thought he was bad the first time, Trump 2.0 is a
nuclear attack on the future of 340 million Americans. He is following his fascist
manifesto, Project 2025, page by page, destroying everything which made America
the most respected nation in the world.
Trump intentionally violates the Constitution every day as
he continues to use his position to enhance his personal wealth: he has
profited more than 1.5 billion dollars in just over one year.
His only “accomplishments” are revenge on his enemies, permanently
destroying a large section of the People’s White House, allowing inflation to
accelerate, and waging an illegal and immoral war against Iran, resulting in
the highest gasoline prices in history, and a cost to taxpayers of one billion
dollars per day since February 28.
BEHIND EVERY TYRANNICAL DICTATOR ARE TRAITORS TO THEIR
COUNTRY
None of what has been done to our nation in 2025/2026 would
have happened if the Supreme Court had not become biased and corrupt.
During Trump’s first term, with influence from Moscow Mitch
McConnell, they stacked the Court with unqualified candidates who clearly swore
loyalty to Trump for life. Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett
joined Trump loyalists, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Chief Justice, John
Roberts, and gave Trump absolute immunity and powers rejected by our Founding
Fathers. Their primary goal was to prevent American from being ruled by a king
or an authoritarian in any form.
These six justices are the reason Trump is now the Fuhrer of
the United States of America.
