With Trump as President of the United States, we share the common struggle of living with a leader who is irrational, self-serving, and irresponsible.
Day after day Trump puts all of our lives and livelihoods in jeopardy with his hateful, self-serving, ignorant exaggeration, lies, and propaganda. He steals the front page news daily because his single aim is to have all resources, energy, and attention pointed at him. He's a grave time-suck when it comes to good energy, potential, and promise for our country.
Rather than the Trump Show, leadership led by an irresponsible, irrational man, we could have a real leader in the White House who tackles the problems that stand in the way of better living for ALL Americans today and into the future.
Trump is the trickster, who like a rodent running on a hamster wheel, creates daily disasters and problems to confuse the country and will his greedy corruption. He is the actor who creates theater via hand/facial gestures and gradiosity wherever he goes. Most of all, he is a waste of time, money, good lives, and good livelihoods. As he wills his way, he obstructs good living for so many in our country.
Now, sick and looking for compassion from the White House, Trump again focuses all the attention and resources on his own welfare as he deals with COVID19. With Trump, it's all about Trump. Trump will get top notch health care--he'll likely be fine with this pandemic like world leaders everywhere--he has the privilege of the best and brightest medical supports. Sadly so many Americans who contracted this virus did not have top notch health care--it's been four years with almost no attention towards quality, affordable, accessible health care for America's people. It's been almost four years with little to no attention to quality public schools and school buildings. It's been almost four years with no attention to grave pollution that promotes illness and which sets the stage for more deaths related to the pandemic virus. While Trump has done everything he could to prop up his own privilege, wealth, and safety over the past four years, he's left most Americans in jeopardy, and that's one reason why so many have died during this pandemic. Trump doesn't care about you or me--it's all about him. If you don't believe me, look at his life story, look at his record, and consider the grave dangers he's created for good living--dangers related to a debilitating deficit, dangerous wage gap, increasing pollution, and neglect related to education, health care, safe neighborhoods, fair wages, and apt working conditions.
The Trump White House years have simply been the Trump White House Reality Show. Not unlike his successful television show The Apprentice, this show has one aim and that is to prop up Trump's power, privilege, and wealth.
Foolish Americans, mostly American White Men, seem to find strength in Trump's bullying personna--they like the way he preys on women, talks tough, and enjoys his wealth and privilege right before our eyes. These Trump followers don't care about women's rights, children's education, a healthy environment, and building a modern country of promise and good living for all--they like that old time macho bad boy image. Why, I'm not sure, but those kinds of men are not interesting to me--I don't see them out there helping others.
The same is true for Trump's extremist religious following--those so-called "Christians" don't represent the teachings of Christ. If they did, they would be down there at the border helping poor, desperate immigrants to establish good lives. If they did, they would be voting for sensible gun laws that save lives. If they truly followed the teaching of Christ, they would will Trump to sell his fancy golf clubs and hotels, and use that money to build adequate homes, gardens, schools, and hospitals to help the poor. True Christianity is a mightly call that few to none of us truly heed, but many work to do their bes tin that regard. Trump demonstrates few Christian values.
I don't want to live with Trump as President of the United States anymore. I want change. We deserve a good leader in the White House. We work hard for the dollars that supports our government leadership, and we deserve leadership that serves us well, not Trumpian leadership that serves himself alone. We can do better USA and we must. Vote that dangerous Trump out of office sooner than later. It's time.
