Trump campaigns against Trump

 

Fragile state of America

            President Trump doesn’t seem to realize that he has been president for almost 4 years. He’s campaigning on fixing a country that he has broken. AND he alone can fix the mess that he has made of things. He alone can fix the dangerous country that he is in charge of.

            We’re to believe that our nation is in such a fragile state with him as the one in charge that it can come apart overnight if Democrats are elected. It took him and his enablers 3 years and 9 months to get this nation in this bad a shape. He’s the one that told us how bad everything was broken before he became President. He said that he fixed it just in case anyone missed his months of bragging about how good he is.

            If he’s as good as he says he is then why is the nation this fragile? So fragile that a few uppity people can overthrow the mighty Trump and all his legions.

While he’s lyin’ people be dyin’

            He didn’t cause the virus. He also didn’t handle the virus. He lied to ALL of us about how bad he knew it was and then blamed the Dems for it. Called it a hoax. Gave money to rich people. Starved out working people. Made the impact worse. Lied for 7 months while encouraging people not to do things that would help—like wearing masks, avoiding crowds and physically distancing. Easy things. Instead his devotees also ignored all the dead people and stupidly treated a pandemic like it was a hoax.

He still is and they still are.

Remember when ….

     on February 7, 2020 Trump told Investigative Reporter Bob Woodard that the virus was deadly. We can’t actually remember that because we didn’t know it. Trump lied to all of us.

    …. Trump kept holding rallies afterwards, knowing that people would get infected and die.

    …. Trump said it was a Democratic hoax.

    …. Trump told us the virus was under control.

    …. Trump told us the virus would just go away.

    …. Trump accused front line health care workers of stealing medical PPE.

    …. Trump said that everybody that wanted a test could get a test.

    …. Trump wondered if ingesting disinfectant would get rid of the virus and his followers started doing it.

    …. Trump started holding unmasked rallies again. Oh, that’s now.

            This is just a partial list. Trump knows that he did all the above. So do his supporters. They care that little about life and other people.

They care about them.

Trump’s Followers Matter. (TFM)

            It really all comes down to them and their privilege over others—especially people of color. It is their privilege that allows them to storm state capitols while heavily armed. It is their privilege backed up by the President that allows them to flaunt guidelines put in place to protect others from their irresponsibility.

Free riders.

            Trump’s boot-licking governors, like Missouri’s Parson, send children to the front lines while the Trump Virus is on the rise and killing men, women and children in “his” state. Like Trump he has, with Trump’s blessing, avoided taking decisive actions at the state level to prevent ugly deaths and lasting illnesses. He’s avoiding hard decisions and leaving it to local community leaders to take the heat. He along with the President have avoided any semblance of a unified response that was so desperately needed in this pandemic.

They are free riders.
