(9.5-minute read)
Even
though the publicity was almost entirely negative, there was a great deal of
it, and that drew a tremendous amount of attention to Trump Tower. Almost
immediately we saw an upsurge in the sales of apartments. I’m not saying that’s
a good thing, and in truth it probably says something perverse about the
culture we live in. But I’m a businessman, and I learned a lesson from that
experience: good publicity is preferable
to bad, but from a bottom-line perspective, bad publicity is sometimes better
than no publicity at all. Controversy, in short, sells.
Trump: The Art of the Deal, pages 175-176[1]
~
Trump
recognized that his support was perverse back in 1987 when he published this
book. His need for publicity is
purposeful. Trump wants publicity, good
or bad. Corporate media helps Trump
pound in the lies with wall-to-wall coverage.
It worked then.
It works now.
Finally got
here
As we enter
the final stretch the rapist DonOLD Trump is visibly deteriorating before our
very eyes.[2] He shows up at rallies looking
disheveled. He’s low energy. Really, he’s just a fraction of his former
2016 self. He calls countries and
leaders by the wrong names. He gives
non-answers to questions that are at times literally world jumbles. He says that he will accomplish things within
days or weeks that he didn’t accomplish when he was president. Sometimes he just glitches out entirely on
words. He can barely hold onto a
coherent train of thought. His rhetoric
is becoming even more vile and threatening.
He has dreams/concepts of committing violence against people. Like Nixon Trump has an enemies list.[3]
“One rough hour. And I mean real rough. The word will get out and it will end
immediately. It’ll end immediately.”[4]
–DonOLD Trump
If
President Biden had said even a fraction of what Trump is spouting, corporate
media would have given it wall to wall coverage and been calling him for him to
step down. Seriously. Trump confused North Korea, Iran and Iraq
multiple times.[5] If they report Trump’s malfunctions at all
they usually sane wash what he says or does.
Trump’s surrogates will jump through hoops to try and sane-itize Trump and
claim that he talks in abstracts or doesn’t really mean what he says. They portray Trump’s incoherency as being
intellectual when in reality he speaks at the 4th grade level.[6] (That’s being charitable, others say 3rd
grade.)
No.
Mr. inject-some-bleach-ex-President the rapist Trump means the crazy
shit he says and does.
Trump has the
depth of a shallow man.
Are you better
off than you were 4 years ago?
Of course
we are. For fuck’s sake, people, we were
in a pandemic and thousands of people were dying and being hospitalized every
day. MAGA either likes to forget about
the last year of Trump’s administration or their brains are as fried as his. Trump was in office for 4 years not 3. That last year still counts. And Trump botched it bad.
Why isn’t Trump running on his
actual record as President? I mean
besides saying that everything was the greatest in the history of the United
States if not the world during his administration. Trump utterly failed in his handling of the
pandemic. A few hundred thousand people
died needlessly. Naturally Mr.
inject-some-bleach doesn’t accept responsibility and blames everyone else.
& During Trump’s time in
office a record number of guns were sold.[7] & The murder rate went up. & There were 1707 mass shootings
in his 4 years.[8] (Mass shootings continue to increase. More guns.
More shootings.) & Trump
got rid of Roe v. Wade. & He
still claims that everybody wanted him to do that. & The longest government shutdown
in American history happened. (He tried
again during this 2024 election cycle but was unable to get enough MAGA
Republicans to go along with it.) &
He withheld $400 million in aid to Ukraine.
& He is estimated to have made over $160,000,000 off of
foreign nations while he was in office.[9] & The Saudis gave Jared and Ivanka
a couple billion dollars to play around with.[10] & In spite of saying that he
wouldn’t have time to play golf when he was President taxpayers paid $141
million for him to golf 279 times while he was President.[11] & I’ll stop with a short list this
time.
There are a
couple of points that I’ll make early in what will be a lengthy piece.
&
Trump will lose the popular vote even if he gets elected again because of the
electoral college.
&
At a rally Trump said that when he gets reelected, he’ll change Ft. Liberty’s
name back to Ft. Bragg.[12] The crowd went wild. White racists eat this stuff up! Ft. Bragg was named after a Confederate
General that was relieved of his command by Jefferson Davis for being a poor
commander.
& That so many cheered
renaming a fort back to a racist General that helped try to overthrow our
democracy sums up why so many racists support the racist Trump.
This is the MAGA
ideology and morality.
Things to come.
Trump’s
dominant policies are playing the perpetual victim, lying, hate, and
revenge. He wants to stop people, not
just media, from being able to say anything bad about him. He wants his political opposition tried and
jailed. He wants people hurt. Physically hurt. He talks about having a day of violence when
President and the MAGA Supremes have given him immunity. (If Vice President Kamala loses should
President Biden have a day of real rough violence against MAGA leadership? Would he have the same immunity that Trump
claims?)
And this is
as good place as any to interject that yes, Trump’s being tried in multiple
courts. He along with some of his
supporters and associates committed multiple state and federal crimes when he
tried to overthrow our democracy. Yes, usually
it’s innocent until proven guilty but then Trump keeps bragging about the
crimes he committed.
Prosecutor
Jack Smith is doing document dumps of the evidence that he has gathered, 165
pages so far with several hundred more to be released. The evidence Smith has gathered came from
MAGA Republicans not Democrats or political opposition. Cabinet members. Aids.
Advisors. Assistants. Appointees. Lawyers. People from his inner circle. People that were with him almost every
day. They are uniform in their opinions
of what kind of man Trump is. Over 70
witnesses have testified so far before Grand Juries. Republicans.
The only
reason that all this is taking place now right before the election is because
Trump dragged the procedures out every step of the way in every criminal case
that he’s involved in. You know
why?
Trump knows he’s
guilty.
Immigrants are
the new Jews.
Like Nazis
scapegoated the Jews MAGA scapegoats immigrants. Trump uses the same playbook that the Nazis
did. Practically every question that Trump’s
asked he responds with the evils of immigrants.
Whether the question is about crime, the shortage of housing, economics,
hospitals, childcare, hurricane relief, you name it MAGA blames immigrants. Trump throws around numbers that are at best misleading
and often wholly inaccurate. Like when
he mentions crime statistics that cover 40 years as if they all belong to the
Biden Administration when in fact they come from lots of administrations,
including his.
Before I go
any further Trump did not have a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”[13] He was given a copy of “My New Order” by a
friend. His ex-wife said that he read
from it. Trump said that he didn’t. His running mate JD Vance once called Trump
“America’s Hitler.”[14]
What Trump
is doing mirrors what Nazis did during Hitler’s rise to power. Because Trump, like the Nazis, lumps in
LGBTQIA people and the disabled with his comments.
That didn’t end
well for Germany or the world.
Guardrails will
be gone
If the
rapist Trump wins this time there will be NO guardrails to stop him from
executing any of his dark impulses for vengeance and taking government
apart. He will be surrounded by
sycophants and enablers. Trump is a
billionaire dilettante buffoon that can’t be believed and is easily manipulated. The dictators that Trump admires aren’t
afraid of him. All they have to do is sit
back and watch MAGA take the country apart without ever having to fire a
shot. Look at the damage that MAGA has
already done already to our nation since they slimed upon the scene. Thanks to the MAGA Supremes and their take on
“presidential immunity”, Trump will be free and unfettered to execute his
policies of revenge and hate.
Trump will
be free to round up Hispanics. When
Trump first started running for office in 2015 he made racist remarks about
Mexicans that got him fired from his show the Apprentice.[15] There are a lot of Hispanics citizens that
will be caught up in Trump’s violent raids to be sent to camps. Yet there are Hispanics that support his
racism. If you support MAGA and Trump
you support racism.
MAGA won’t stop
with immigrants.
Stiffing people.
Trump has
been stiffing working people most of his adult life. He learned it from his racist daddy. I’m not going to do another list here because
the list would be too long. Trump stiffs
or grifts municipalities, vendors, employees, lawyers. Good grief, he even stiffed Rudi Giuliani on $2
million in legal fees![16]
What Trump
says he’ll do and what he actually does can be two entirely different
things. President Obama had passed a
rule increasing the number of people eligible to receive overtime pay to 4.2
million people. Trump cut that back to
1.2 million people with his rule that reduced the number of new people eligible
to receive overtime.[17] Trump and MAGA Republicans opposed increasing
people eligible to receive overtime. So
now the man that bragged about cheating workers out of overtime pay says that
he’ll eliminate the tax on overtime in order to curry union votes.[18]
Trump’s actions
say otherwise.
Same 2020
threats
Trump is
making the same claims about Harris that he made about Biden in 2020. An economic collapse didn’t happen. Instead President Biden, with VP Harris at
his side, put our nation’s economy back together. Not an easy feat but Biden pulled it
off.
Trump made
a lot of dire predictions about what would happen in 2020 if Biden was elected.[19] Trump said that the stock market would
collapse.[20] It didn’t.
Instead it has achieved record highs.
Trump claimed would be a depression, the auto industry would be
eradicated, there would be a total locked down, there wouldn’t be any Christmas
or other holidays, guns would be confiscated, religion would be gone, oil would
be taken away, We’d have to learn to speak Chinese because China would own the
United States, the suburbs would be destroyed, police departments across
America would be defunded, and on and on.
None of his predictions
came true.
