Trump has hurt many people.
He masterfully used his marketing and propaganda skills to attract people to his rallies complete with Trump theater, music, dancing, threats, and demonization of his enemies.
People, for lots of reasons, were drawn to him--he was, in my opinion, a modern day freak show, a source of entertainment, and what some saw as the a symbol of hope since he gave them attention, promised them what they were looking for, and did a good job faking care or concern for them.
In truth, Trump hurt many people with his lies and self-serving behavior.
Let's start with his loyal followers and others who were killed and harmed during the violent insurection at The Capitol. These were people who embraced the Trump rhetoric, only to be killed by the mob Trump unleashed. Imagine how the families of those people feel today as they suffer the loss of their loved ones. Also imagine how those physically or psychologically harmed that day and their family members feel. Trump forever impeded and harmed their lives.
And, how about the loved ones of those who Trump inspired to harm and hurt others. Having grown up with a troubled, impressionable family member, I ache for the loved ones of the El Paso young man who, in part, inspired by Trump hate speech, drove to a Walmart and massacred 23 individuals and gravely harmed many others too. Think of the harm and hurt Trump caused with this event and how many families and friends suffer because of it. Similarly Trump's words also inspired the Kenosha killer and support for that killer.
Of course there was Trump's support for the huge tax breaks for the rich which greatly increased the economic divide in the United States creating a more unjust society.
And, Trump's response to the pandemic led to far too many deaths, illness, and loss of livelihoods. Trump ignored pandemic warnings, disbanded the pandemic health team, lied to the American people about the COVID-19 information, broke from the World Health Organization during a deadly worldwide pandemic, spread misinformation about the pandemic, ignored and worked against scientific pandemic information, put inexperienced, unknowing people in charge of the pandemic response, hosted superspreader events at the White House, and did not take his role in this worldwide tragedy seriously. This hurt critically killed and hurt people.
Trump's unwillingness to stand up to worldwide dictators and inhumanity led, in part, to gross murders and lawless activity throughout the world too. That hurt people as well.
Trump's own public disrespect to his young son has had to be hurtful to the young boy time and again.
When he had his workers tear gass peaceful protestors so he could hold a Bible for a photo shoot was similarly hurtful and harmful. \
And when he told White supremacists to stand back and stand down, he hurt all of those who White supremacists harm daily, and he also hurt the White supremacists too by leading them down a deadly, inumane path.
Time and again, Trump has hurt people. Today, I've heard that his lawyers will spread Trumpian propaganda at the Impeachment trial--this will likely hurt people more. For anyone watching the trial today, please make sure to see beneath the Trump propaganda and to understand that Trump has always had to use propaganda because he hasn't an honest, rightful argument to stand on--he's a man out for himself, not you or me, and this makes him a very dangerous man.
