APP - The Worst President in our History

Trump inherited a growing economy from Pres Obama and yet he hated Obama so much he denied his citizenship. Donnie's economy has given to the rich while the working class are in the same place if not worse. The democrats need to say that and say that again. Will hate work again as Trump used it in the 2016 election? Does he mention his useless wall for instance? Caging children should have cost him something? 'It's the economy stupid!' Covid and the economy for the working classes should sink Trump. Spread the word.

Interesting that Trump considers his followers so beneath him that he was glad he didn't have to shake hands with his voters.

Mike Pence is a disgrace as well.
 
Trump tax returns help explain his bizarre relationships with foreign nations and their leaders. He didn't expect he'd win the presidency so their help didn't matter, now as president you see that he is a danger to our nation as his actions are determined by his debts and not about America.

This book lays out the issues.

"Weissmann offers a damning indictment of a “lawless” president and his knowing accomplices—Attorney General William Barr (portrayed as a cynical liar), congressional Republicans, criminal flunkies, Fox News. Donald Trump, he writes, is “like an animal, clawing at the world with no concept of right and wrong.” But in telling the story of the investigation and its fallout, Weissmann reserves his most painful words for the Special Counsel’s Office itself. Where Law Ends portrays a group of talented, dedicated professionals beset with internal divisions and led by a man whose code of integrity allowed their target to defy them and escape accountability."

If it sounds like hate it is hate. Trump's appeal is hate and let's hope religious and other American institutions call him out and vote him out. He is an embarrassment. Insecure men like Trump and the proud boys are threats to decency. Labels come to stand for substance. Weak men cling to symbols not substance.

"The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist male-only organization that promotes and engages in political violence. It is based in the United States and has a presence in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom."

Michael Cohen tells it like it is:

 
Most likely the dumbest and most un-American president in our history tested positive for Covid-19. Did I read that right. Is this some sort of joke or what. Can you imagine Pence as president? Maybe he could have his wife nearby helping him, she may have more sense and humanity than the Trump/Pence spectacle. You think?

This article will be posted in two threads as it demonstrates how our president and his administration have failed Americans. 'Over 200,000 Americans are now confirmed dead from Covid-19'


'Dying in a Leadership Vacuum'

"Covid-19 has created a crisis throughout the world. This crisis has produced a test of leadership. With no good options to combat a novel pathogen, countries were forced to make hard choices about how to respond. Here in the United States, our leaders have failed that test. They have taken a crisis and turned it into a tragedy.

The magnitude of this failure is astonishing. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Systems Science and Engineering,1 the United States leads the world in Covid-19 cases and in deaths due to the disease, far exceeding the numbers in much larger countries, such as China. The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000. Covid-19 is an overwhelming challenge, and many factors contribute to its severity. But the one we can control is how we behave. And in the United States we have consistently behaved poorly."

It is good to see over a thousand views, let's make it two thousand.

"Just in case you were about to feel an unfamiliar spasm of sympathy for Donald Trump following his contraction of coronavirus, this week has provided a helpful reminder not only of his morally repugnant character but also of the danger he poses to the United States and the wider world."

'Covid-19 has unmasked the true nature of Donald Trump and Trumpism'

https://www.theguardian.com/comment...19-unmasked-true-nature-donald-trump-trumpism
 
"Of all the things President Trump has destroyed, the Republican Party is among the most dismaying.

“Destroyed” is perhaps too simplistic, though. It would be more precise to say that Mr. Trump accelerated his party’s demise, exposing the rot that has been eating at its core for decades and leaving it a hollowed-out shell devoid of ideas, values or integrity, committed solely to preserving its own power even at the expense of democratic norms, institutions and ideals.

Tomato, tomahto. However you characterize it, the Republican Party’s dissolution under Mr. Trump is bad for American democracy.

A healthy political system needs robust, competing parties to give citizens a choice of ideological, governing and policy visions. More specifically, center-right parties have long been crucial to the health of modern liberal democracies, according to the Harvard political scientist Daniel Ziblatt’s study of the emergence of democracy in Western Europe. Among other benefits, a strong center right can co-opt more palatable aspects of the far right, isolating and draining energy from the more radical elements that threaten to destabilize the system...."

There is no question, Trump will go down in our history as one of the worst, time to move America forward again. But bravo bravo all those who voted for Biden / Harris.


"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron." Dwight D. Eisenhower
 
This is too funny not to share, Trump and Giuliani must have thought this was the Four Seasons in downtown Philly, a high class restaurant hotel, instead it is a lawn company in remote Philly. Too funny. What a dumb administration this is and they prove it daily.

 
While this is so the people wasting their money are the Trump supporters and cult members. Trump is what we used to call a sponger.

Gotta give Trump credit, he plays his base well. He lies they pay, he golfs they pay, he visits his Florida golf course, we all pay. But now his cult following want to destroy democracy to keep Donnie in power. The so called conservative Trump base belong in a banana republic as they are not democracy loving Americans.

Does anyone know enough history to judge whether Trump is our worst president? He certainly would hands down win the 'Liar in Chief' award. Personally I always though Hoover and Coolidge among the worst and maybe Jackson for his treatment of Indians. But your thoughts.

For those who have read, 'The Making of Donald Trump' nothing should surprise. But this piece in the Guardian confirms other aspects of a man who became president but is still a child. And where to now Mike Pence, did you sell your soul or did you always lack one?

"It was not just May who found Trump unsettling: to European diplomatic observers, he seemed a “strange creature”. And he also triggered alarm among some American officials in the room with him, with one defence official noting that the president’s notoriously short attention span suggested a “squirrel careening through the traffic”."

And what now of Mike Pence, who sold his soul?
