You know how I know I’m on the right side of history?
I didn’t support a presidential candidate who:
- Claims to be all about “Made in America” who sold a $60 Bible that was printed in China and has most of the products sold in his gift shops in his buildings made overseas.
- Pushes so-called “Christian values” who has absolutely no record of church attendance and doesn’t represent a single quality based upon the actual teachings of Jesus Christ.
- Cheated on every single one of his wives, including his current one shortly after she gave birth to their son.
- Tries to act big and bad, but spends a good chunk of his time playing the victim, whining, and crying about anyone who dares say anything critical of him.
- Says he’s all about respecting the Constitution yet denies democracy whenever he loses an election, believes Congress and our military should serve him, not the American people, and is trying to consolidate power to remove any semblance of the checks and balances our Founding Fathers built into the Constitution. Someone who literally incited an attack on our Capitol because he couldn’t admit he lost an election.
- Often talks about how much respect he has for the military, yet he was a draft dodger, none of his children served, he said of POWs he “likes people who weren’t captured,” called heroes who fought and died for this country “suckers and losers,” and staged a campaign photo-op at Arlington National Cemetery, had someone from his campaign assault a worker there, lied about it, which goes against the rules of the sacred resting place of our nation’s heroes.
- Claims to be about “law and order” but has frequently attacked judges and any law enforcement agency/official who would dare stand up to him, not bend to his will, or call out any crime(s) he’s committed.
- Says he hires the “best” people but then churns through members of his administration and an unprecedented pace, with many who served for him during his first 4 years either refusing to endorse him, or endorsed his opponent, including his vice president from his first term calling all those who speak out against him “stupid” and/or “losers.”
- Often brags about what a “smart businessman he is” but has declared bankruptcy 7 times, has more failed businesses than most people can keep up with, called his decision to start a mortgage company in 2007 the “perfect” time to start that type of business (just before the biggest real estate crash in U.S. history), and really owns most of his current “claim to fame” to a reality show where he played a fake CEO who was fake successful and he fake fired mostly washed up celebrities desperate for attention and an easy payday.
- Promised he could eliminate the national debt very easily” yet went on to add over $8 trillion to it in four years; said he wouldn’t have time to play golf but played more in 4 years than Obama did in 8; said Mexico was going to pay for a border wall and they didn’t pay a penny; and called the strong monthly jobs reports “fake” up until he was elected then he tried to take credit for those very same strong monthly jobs reports he inherited from Obama and will inherit once against from President Biden.
