A speech on why you need to vote Trump out · 4:58pm Sep 17th, 2020

Since voting is starting to happen, or at least registering is, I've been meaning to do this for a while and may as well do it now.

I'll tl;dr this for you ahead of time because I'm sure some will not care for this blog - please vote Trump out even if it means Biden, he is horrible and the world cannot take four more years of him. The more eloquent summation is below.

Back in 2016 when Trump won the election, John Oliver told us to give ourselves daily reminders that "this is not normal". I doubt anyone has really done that, but let's take a check on that.

  • It is not normal to have a President who publicly declares the opposition party and mainstream media outlets to be "the enemy of the people".
  • It is not normal to have a President who attacks current and former members of his administration and party for saying and doing things he dislikes.
  • It is not normal to have a President who abruptly ends interviews and press conferences and ignores reporters when he's asked questions he doesn't want to answer.
  • It's not normal to have a President who repeatedly lies, lies more to support his original lies, and expects members of his party and administration to defend him.
  • It is not normal to have a President who cozies up to dictators while breaking long-standing ties with allies, and believes the word of those dictators over his own intelligence officials and advisors.
  • It is not normal to have a President who spreads and endorses conspiracies theories.
  • It is not normal to have a President who constantly vacations at properties and businesses owned by his children.
  • It is not normal to have a President who uses federal troops to enforce martial law on cities, in one circumstance just so he can stage a photo op.
  • It is not normal to have a President who shuts down the government because the Houses refuse to authorize billions in funding for a personal project he wants, and then declares a national emergency to circumvent their authority.
  • It is not normal to have a President who repeatedly touts his accomplishments on social media and at press conferences, even if they are lies or half-truths.

Now, in the interests of fairness, not everything Trump has done is bad, yet even when one discusses the good things he has done, it is difficult to sell them as successes. He has taken on China with regards to their exploitation of cheap labor to control world economies and major corporation who abuse that; yet, his own Trump merchandise is made in China and he began a trade war with China that the US will not win. He has opened negotiations with North Korea, which is fantastic, but he has failed to make any meaningful progress beyond symbolic gestures and negotiations have now fallen apart. He has taken part in negotiations to bring peace to the Middle East in terms of Israel, while antagonizing Iran and Palestine. I sincerely WANT to want Trump to win the Nobel Peace Prize, because it would mean he had made meaningful progress in establishing peaceful relations between foreign nations. But he hasn't.

Yet even these good accomplishments are overshadowed by the damage Trump has done in many other areas. He has demonstrated glaring weaknesses in the systems of checks and balances meant to hold the President back, and shown how meaningless many of those systems are when the President has the protection of a Senate majority who will not act against him. He has undermined public faith in the government and news media, eroded the US's relations with other nations by publicly insulting them and their leaders, refused to take responsibility for errors and mistakes he and his administration has made while blaming the opposition party for things they had little influence over, constantly spouted hateful rhetoric that has bubbled over into violent demonstrations, and demonstrated that he will do what he wants, when he wants, even if it is illegal or outside the bounds of his power, and let the courts sort it out.

These things are not normal because they are not the actions of a President, they are the actions of a dictator. Trump has attempted to position himself as the sole authority to trust for information and leadership. He will attack Fox News when they don't toe the line, and will praise CNN when they run a story favorable to him, same for politicians on either side of the aisle. Anyone who speaks well of Trump will be thanked and spoken highly of, while anyone who speaks ill of Trump will be insulted and marginalized. The only variable that matters to him is him. He is a narcissist of the highest order, a creature whose worldviews revolve on the central concepts "what does this have to do with me" and "do I like this". Facts are meaningless if Trump's personal opinions run contrary to them, he will act based on the former and argue against the latter. Trump does not merely lie, he simply ignores the truth and ignores anyone who tries to explain that truth to him.

Over the past four years we've probably started to get used to Trump's bullshit, but we should remember the time before him, the presidencies of Obama and Bush. Remember the time before Trump? Remember having a President who didn't use Twitter to boast about his accomplishments and attack his enemies? Who didn't constantly attend self-aggrandizing rallies and golf vacations? Who was willing and able to compromise and negotiate with the other party, and with other nations, to achieve mutually beneficial deals? Who expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims of tragedies instead of just shrugging? Who got their information from intelligence officials and advisors and not cable news and internet podcasts? Who didn't lash out at journalists and politicians that spoke against them? Bush had the composure to patiently sit through more than 20 minutes of Stephen Colbert viciously roasting him from six feet away during a WHCD, and Obama invited Key and Peele to do their parody skits of him at the same; Trump shuts down press conferences when reporters press him on a question he doesn't like.

The US can have that again, and it should. You deserve a President who will run the country, not run his mouth.

Now, Joe Biden would not be my choice for candidate, and if I'm being perfectly honest, if one gave the challenge "tell me why I should vote for Biden without comparing him to Trump", I admit I don't have much. But the position the US is in is that "he's better than Trump" really is reason enough. It sucks that that is the position you guys are in, I sympathize. If you don't like Joe, I ain't gonna try to convince you to, I don't have much to argue there anyway. But, yes, that Biden would be a better President than Trump is reason enough to vote for him.

There is a simple dichotomy in terms of not voting for Biden - you either intend to vote for Trump, or to not vote at all. If you intend to vote for Trump because you sincerely like him and approve of his behaviors, I have nothing to say to you; Trump is so demonstrably awful that if nothing he has done over the past four years has convinced you not to support him anymore, I know there is nothing I can say that will do it.

If you do not approve of Trump's actions but intend to vote for him anyway for some reason, please re-evaluate that reason. If you want to vote for him because he's the Republican and they're your party, ask yourself if the party deserves such loyalty from you in spite of the fact that not only has Trump been such an awful person, but the Republican-controlled Senate has empowered him to act in such a way, refuted to impeach him, and Republican politicians defend him. If you want to vote for him because whatever decisions he has made have improved your life personally, ask if your own happiness has been worth putting up with Trump for these last four years. If you want to vote for him just to spite the other side, grow up and take this election seriously, this is politics not a schoolyard. And if you don't intend to vote at all because you don't like either candidate - please vote for Biden, because to not vote against Trump is to say "well I don't like him, but I don't feel so strongly about it that I want him gone." Examine all that he has done - if he hasn't done enough the last four years to convince you he should not be President, what more can he do other than declare war on other country? (which for the record I doubt he intends to do but I cannot be certain).

But most of all, Trump needs to be voted out to send a message to him, his followers, and the rest of the world. When you elect a President you are choosing someone to represent your nation on the world stage. And Trump represents the absolute worst stereotypes of America that other nations hold - a loud, arrogant, bigoted, self-absorbed jackass who proudly declares that the only thing that matters is "me, myself, and I" and everything else is a distant 4th. That is how the rest of the world sees Trump, both our own leaders and our citizens. And four years ago, over 60 million American citizens said "yes, that is who we want to represent our country." It doesn't matter if he lost the popular vote or that overall only 20% of the country voted for him out of the entire population. The fact is, Trump won the election and was declared leader of the nation.

This chance to vote Trump out is your one chance to say "No. He does not reflect our country and its citizens. His win was a fluke and we will not let it happen again, we will do better". It sends a message to Trump and those who think like him that their hatred and arrogance have no place in America, that when push comes to shove a majority great enough to vote him out of office will stand up and fight back and do it. It is putting your foot down and saying "enough, no more."

But if Trump wins this election, everything he has done will be vindicated. It sends the message "as awful as Trump has been the last four years, a large enough portion of the people still support him that he can win a second term". Trump will learn that he still has tens of millions of supporters who will continue to give him their loyalty in spite of what he has done, and his behavior will worsen now that he doesn't need to care about re-election and he has seen that his behavior is not only accepted, but approved of. He will go down in history a winner, a two-term President. Those who think like Trump will be emboldened to keep thinking like him and propagate their beliefs, and you just know that one day, probably even in 2024, his kids will run for election and seize on his reputation to the maximum effect.

Please, America, do not subject yourselves or the world to four more years of Trump. Because neither of us can or should have to put up with him anymore. And if he wins, we will be putting up with him, his family, and people like him, for years to come.

well i agree trump should be gone but all the current candidates are even worse than trump currently it is a choice of the lesser of 2 evils also the dems are scum and have completely fallen from being a government body to being a lawbreaking and coun try destroying faction so yes trump needs to be gone but i prefer trump who is open and honest about things versus the other candidates who tell lies and force their thoughts on others

I do wish I could upvote blog posts.

every day Trump is in office is another day of slow death for this country and the democracy we have. Shit is depressing knowing the man who sits in the most powerful office on this planet doesn't give a single shit about anyone but himself and would happily sell us all out to Kim Jong Un and Vladmir Putin given the chance.

Biden is not a good pick either but he's the only shot we have to go back to SOME level of normalcy around this fucking country

It's sad that it's taken a global pandemic to make us realize that we don't have an actual president. We have a man who wants to act like the president but has no interest in the responsibilities that come with it and obviously never bothered to understand what the job actually meant. Even Ronald Reagan, for all his failures, understood the importance of "acting" presidential in a crisis and displaying leadership when the situation called for it.

Don’t worry, I’m voting against the orange gibbon. I’m even voting in Ohio!

While I don't agree with a decent portion of the content of this blog post, and especially not the delivery, I would just like to take this moment to remind everyone that you can vote Independent! You don't have to vote "against the other party" just because you don't like them. Libertarians exist and Jo Jorgensen is actually pretty good.

There is a simple dichotomy in terms of not voting for Biden - you either intend to vote for Trump, or to not vote at all

Welcome to everything wrong with America and our two-party system. This is not how it works, and it's not how it's supposed to work.


I would like to take a moment to say, dude, I applaud your persuasive writing skills. You should totally be a speech writer.

5357190 I have to agree. I still think Biden is naive to think that things will magically go back to where they were before Trump, there's no going back as long as the GOP remain loyal to Trump and willing to court the most radical right-wing extremists among them. But much like in 2016 with Hillary Clinton at least I know there'll be a United States still around to vote Biden out and hold him accountable, and he'll almost certainly be primary challenged from the left in 2024 if he decides to run again.

5357220
Agreed. The US will not magically transform back to how it was in the Obama era, nor should it. I've said before elsewhere, Trump is merely a symptom of much deeper problems ingrained in American society and politics. I have some hope of things changing, with younger, more diverse politicians being voted into positions of power and the old white male club of both parties fading. But it's going to take time, effort, and acknowledgement of the problem, to actually see meaningful change.

I would rather vote for Dick freaking Chaney before I'll ever vote for Trump. That's how awful he is.

If Trump wins, I and a lot of other people who rely on there being a stable central government will die. Simple as that. You have to be awfully selfish -- or Norwegian, I guess? -- to not care about the vast numbers of people who've suffered under Trump's regime for the last four years.

5357203
Trump is literally part of a pedophile ring, but go off, I guess.

5357190
Do not worry, we do not need your country, we are already the biggest and that is enough for us. But It would be good for everyone if the US stops being the superpower and begins to mind its own business in its own borders. We do not like NATO troops near our borders and the US undermining our business project in Europe.

5357209
Ordinarily voting independent is indeed a option. These are, rather self evidently, not ordinary times.

Also, the reason third parties aren’t practical in the US isn’t because people aren’t voting for them. It’s because of structural election issues that need to be resolved.

5357241
If democrats did not try to overthrow Trump all the time from 2016 - everything could be better. But they are power-hungry bat-shit crazy morons, Who really do not like the democracy - ironic - as it is. As the choise of people and the rule of majority.

5357190
Also... I do not think that Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un are really worse than Killary Clinton (she could not keep the dick of her own husband in his trousers - who will give her the country to rule?) or Joe Biden or other old democratic farts of yours.

The problem is that we think in the ‘“lesser of two evils” when looking at Biden over Trump.

No, he’s not better, in fact he has quite a few things in his platform that I have issues with, as does Ms Harris as his pick for VP, especially the stance of trans issues and law enforcement reform.

But the thing is... he’s marginally good. Despite all the memes and jokes and gaffs, Joe Biden might possess a human heart as opposed to this cheese crusted idiot we have now.

Will he be a great president? Probably not, especially if we can’t take the senate. Will he be ground breaking or trailblazer new ideas or reforms? Again, not likely because all the plans he and Harris put forth show ten year timelines.

But I’m still voting for him because my life and safety require Trump gone so that we can possibly have some reconstruction start. Biden may not be as great as some of our past presidents, but he will probably be better than this current shitstorm.


5357209
I have seen some of her ads but sadly because we’re so indoctrinated into the two party system I would be amazed if she grabs enough of the vote to even deadlock the election. I would love to have another choice but the reality night now is that the majority of the voting public only see red and blue. You know me and I’m rarely a political Kitty. I just want my tea and naps in the sun but right now it’s important that we attempt to oust the current lump anyway possible.

5357241
Okej dude whatever you say.
Im just saying Trump hasent started any war even tho the Warhawks of the Pentagon want one with Iran just to support Poor Israelis. And he has give you jobbs 1.4 million just in june alon from 10% unemployment to 4% unemployment in August.
But if you want Anal-Biden Go for it.

I am agog over this non-sequitur.

5357301
The truth is hard.

5357302
And you have proven that bullshit is easy.

5357310
Do you lisen to CNN and BBC? Do you beliv there bullshit when they talk to you on live tv saying "ooh he is bad he did a thing 25+ years ago ooh" do you beliv mainstream media? When they are reporting from a BLM riot with burning cars in the backround and they have the nerv to tell everyone "its a peacefull protest" Do you beliv them?

5357314

Do you lisen to CNN and BBC?

No, I don't.

5357321
Good then you are not one of the stupid ones great work.

5357324
That you use "do you watch CNN and BBC" as the sole qualifier for being "a smart one" says a lot about you. You may excuse yourself from further commenting.

I just can't understand how any decent human being can support Trump. He's been the worst modern president in u.s. history. Look, Biden may not be perfect (I would've preferred Elizabeth Warren) but he is a good person who won't repeat all of Trump's monumental fuck-ups and that should be enough.

5357328

I just can't understand how any decent human being can support Trump.

The fervor over Trump makes a lot more sense when you realize that he is not a politician, he is a cult leader. And like they always do, he has convinced many of his followers to trust in him and believe anything he says no matter how contradictory, hypocritical, or demonstrably false it is. From the outside it always seems obvious that the cult leader is a monster and his followers have been brainwashed into unconditional loyalty, but inside the cult the world has been twisted beyond logic and reason.

It is also why I have no interest in arguing with those who are sincerely loyal to Trump - you can't talk a member of a cult into realizing they're in a cult, rational arguments are not how they were indoctrinated and rational arguments will not be how the spell is broken. That's why I say "if nothing Trump has done the last four years has convinced you not to support him, nothing I can say will" - the cultist will only achieve self-realization in a personal manner, when the cult leader does something that destabilizes their belief in him. Until then, the rest of us can just watch and hope they wake up.

Damn. This is a very argumentative post. But eh, I’m still making the cut to register to vote right before so yay for that.

J_Q

5357241
Good point.

Plus that dude’s from Sweden. His opinion is invalid.

I can see more and more crazy stuff happening as we get closer to election day.

5357349
Shall I list them chronologically, or alphabetically?

In no particular order:

I am a woman - see body autonomy and birth control issues.

I am not straight - see equal rights and the rise in anti-gay/lesbian violence.

I trans - see everything related like bathroom rights, health care worth a damn, and our general right not to be shanked for walking around.

I am co-owner of a small business - we’d like to not get crushed by larger corporations.

I am a pacifist and supporter of basic human rights - see M4A, systemic violence in law enforcement, for profit incarceration, the fact that we have a budget of over $700 billion on military expenses, no taxes on the rich, history of minimum wages, and no housing that is worth the cost or implementing Anti-homeless devices instead of providing housing so they have one less issue to focus on while attempting to rebuild their life (Finland did this and they’ve virtually eliminated it). That’s not even touching on basic mental health service accessibility which would cut down on many 911 calls.

Which would you like me to elaborate on privately so I don’t hijack this thread?

5357405 It's already happening, just look at what's going on out west with the wildfires.

To be honest though, I'm more worried about what'll happen after the election. There's already the very real possibility that it'll take a week to know who actually won, and considering that this could be the first presidential election (or the first election period) that some people take part in and the memories of 2000 only faintly recalled by those old enough to remember it, I fear that there may be lasting damage done should either side refuse to accept the results no matter what.

5357409
You are the co-owner of a small business? Then BLM movement are not your friend - they are mobsters, looters and vandals, who already destroyed lots of small businesses. Good luck with insurance agencies, they will fight for not to pay the insurance like war heroes. And who do You think support those rioters? Yes, that are democrats and Trump opponents.

5357225
oh really like ocasio cortez who tries and fails to ruin the country every chance she gets. while breaking laws and getting away with it cause she is a "minority".

what we need is a government who are good at the job not a government who is simply diverse that is a failure and world ender waiting to happen. look at hollywood and san fransisco which can actually be considered a third world country and not a part of the usa any more due to "ugh" politics.
trump isnt the best but he has been the best president than any of the presidents we've had since the 1990's. and the dems constantly going orange man bad in order to stop all the good that he is trying to do is the same thing that happened with obama obama was shit for president due to not using his power to overrule congress on many things that would have helped the country and let congress railroad him constantly. at least trump does everything in his power to see that the country has the money and economy to be a country. also i would like to point out that putin adn kim jun arent trumps friend he is being a good poilitician and trying to stop conflict between countries hillary on the otherhand was caught red handed selling uranium of the US to russia which is a crime cause the uranium was not hers to sell it belonged to the country. im voting for neither dems or republicans and after doing some research on the independant candidate i would reccommend not voting for him either. but thats just me

5357328

thats where your wrong trump has done more for the country than the last 4 presidents combined. while i dont like the guy and think that a country should not be run like a company the last few election candidates and the crybaby home terorists knnown collectively as sjws need to pull their heads out the a holes and use what little brains are left after snorting fart fumes for the last 4 years.

ps drakey your controlling what can be posted is basically why i would vote trump over hillary or biden only being told i cant express my views to others if you dont like what i say is one of the major problems this country needs to get rid of

5357473
So refusing to take action during a pandemic, causing almost 200,000 thousand Americans (so far) to die is "doing a great job?" How about putting immigrant children in cages and forcefully sterilizing immigrant woman? Or how about trying to bargain with Ukraine to get dirt on his political opponents? How about mocking veterans, mocking disabled people, gassing peaceful protesters, lying about things he's said on tape that can easily be disproved? How about supporting a domestic terrorist who crossed states just to shoot BLM protesters? I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

5357473

ps drakey your controlling what can be posted

I deleted one comment that the commenter agreed to because it was a repost of her earlier comment. Rose Quill is a friend and I simply asked if she meant to do so, and she said it was an accidental doublepost and offered to remove it herself, but I said I'd do it.

Beyond that I have only blocked one person in this debate, the reason being they were spewing barely literate nonsense and conspiracy theories in such a manner that it would be generous to say they were "contributing" to the debate. Other persons who support Trump, disagree with my views, etc., I have neither deleted comments nor blocked them, I have simply chosen to not respond to them for the most part.

So I would kindly suggest you take your own advice and pull your head out of your ass.

5357534 Sadly, yes. Now imagine that, but with an actual playbook for dealing with pandemics that was completely disregarded.

5357481
So refusing to take action during a pandemic, causing almost 200,000 thousand Americans (so far) to die is "doing a great job?" - no country or government did anything until it killed tons of people and spread also trump tried to enforce lockdowns but guess what dems defies and refused him

How about putting immigrant children in cages and forcefully sterilizing immigrant woman?
- you have no proof or evidence that he did anything like that the tents are not cages but they shouldnt have forced themselves across the borders to begin with.

Or how about trying to bargain with Ukraine to get dirt on his political opponents? - mostly falsehoods from dems his lawyer did go over there and went beyond what he was supposed to do but his calls and investigations should have been done by the fbi and homeland security not him but again the dems refused and denied any wrongdoing when evidence said otherwise

How about mocking veterans, mocking disabled people, gassing peaceful protesters, lying about things he's said on tape that can easily be disproved? - mostly taken out of context and cut words spliced together to make him look bad plus the gassing was because the protesters refused the lawful protest procedures and gathered far beyond what is allowed by law plus preventing others from going out in the streets or doing their jobs or even getting to their jobs because they were blocking traffick .please listen to the full dialogue for real context not what the news channels say do you research not listen to news journos who have fallen far from their origin of neutral facts reporting

How about supporting a domestic terrorist who crossed states just to shoot BLM protesters? - all untrue and/or not related to trump himself also have you been watching the news and videos of these so called peacefull blm protests i think you should get your eyes examined otherwise

I could go on, but I think you get the idea.- so can i cause guess what i read and investigate facts not rumors thank you and good night

5357624
Dude, there is a transcript of his call with the Ukranian president where he blatantly asks for dirt on Biden. That's cheating. You have offered no evidence support any of your claims, and I can easily refute them with a couple of Google searches. Oh, wait, you won't believe those, because people like you believe the media is purposefully conspiring against him instead of simply reporting exactly what he says. How does it feel, knowing you're in a cult?

I'll be brief. I voted against Hillary four years ago, because she's about as bad a candidate as could be. The Clintons are corrupt money-grubbing power-hungry narcissists, and those are their good points.
I didn't expect much from Trump. Most Republicans didn't. Every two years, we vote for candidates who promise conservative actions, and promptly after the election, the Republicans can't really be told apart from the Democrats. Trump was a former Democrat from New York. We expected him to promptly turn into a New York Dem. Instead, we got somebody who was actually serious about cutting taxes, wrestling with the budget, restricting illegal immigration, reducing overregulation, building the military back up, and not diving into new wars. Most of us were shocked, Hillary most of all.
- A quick sidebar: The Swamp is real. Legislators vote for spending bills that put billions of dollars of taxpayer money into the hands of businesses who then channel millions of dollars back to the legislators who use it to get re-elected and vote for spending bills that put billions of dollars... etc... Trump threatened the swamp. For the last four years, he has been ruthlessly attacked by the press, by Democrats, by 'moderate' Republicans, and by businesses who profit by swamp-money. That's not even counting the *entire* top floor of the FBI, who organized an assault on his campaign and later his presidency, something that has never been done before and God willing will never be done again. He's been accused of being a Russian agent, a spy, in the pay of Putin, and all sorts of activity so secret that even a full investigation by Muller and all of his anti-Trump Special Counsel taking three years and spending 30 million dollars could not find one credible crime out of the campaign. He's been impeached for a *phone call* where no violation of US Criminal Code was ever even theorized, and even after all that, he's willing to run again for another four years of this abuse. That orange color in his hair isn't dye, it's rust.

-Anyway, this year the Dems managed to nominate a man who has stellar honesty issues, who *admits* to the crime that Trump got impeached for, a man who nobody expects to serve four years because of his health, and who quite possibly can't even debate. Oh, and picked for a running mate somebody so unappealing that she dropped out of the primary race before the first state. Out of a nation of 320 million people, the Dems have picked the worst person to run against Trump twice in a row now. Yeah, I'm voting Trump again. I expect him to sweep 300 electoral college votes at least.

5357666

The Clintons are corrupt money-grubbing power-hungry narcissists

Yeah, I'm voting Trump again.

5357550
We knew how to deal with epi- and pandemics in the '80s. We just didn't want to.

I roughly agree with everything you have to say. When it comes down between the two, Biden is the 'better' choice. Though...

• It is not normal to have a President who publicly declares the opposition party and mainstream media outlets to be "the enemy of the people".

I don't really see a problem with this one (besides focusing on just one of the parties)? The Democrats, the Republicans, and the media are the enemy of the people. At the end of the day, all three are controlled by the rich, who don't have our best interests at heart.

Over the past four years we've probably started to get used to Trump's bullshit, but we should remember the time before him, the presidencies of Obama and Bush. Remember the time before Trump?

Sure do, and it wasn't good back than either. Every president we've had post-ww2 have been war criminals, especially Obama and Bush. We really shouldn't be looking back at any of them fondly just because they acted a bit more 'civil' as they committed atrocities.

Either way, whoever gets picked, America is in decline. All empires fall eventually.

well the media is a cult of fanatics called anti trumpers they hate trump so bad that they will report any rumor as true .

the transcripts said he asked about the suspiscious dealings of bidens son and biden in ukraine which technically the fbi should have been looking into not trump but people like you are so against trump that you dont see anything but your own blurred reality. the timing of the call was bad timing he should have started the investigations well before the elections but when those who are responsible for those investigations are being distracted with lies and false accusations in order to impeach trump then i can understand he wanted to find the truth.

look i dont like trump but he has done more for this country than the last 4 presidents economy was picking up for the first time in years when china decided to be idiots and withhold information about the virus

You must do a shitload of mental gymnastics to believe half of of what the orange fart says (in British slang "Trump" means passing gas.)

Donald Trump is the furthest thing from a good president, let alone a politician: He's a jackass with a whole family history of swindling, racism, extortion and other clandestine dealings, like his father having connections to the KKK, and his grandfather having fled from Germany and made money off acts like extorting women into prostitution.

no country or government did anything until it killed tons of people and spread also trump tried to enforce lockdowns but guess what dems defies and refused him

Really? So how come Anguilla only has three confirmed cases of COVID-19 and all three recovered? Or how about that the United States of America; the country that prides itself as the best country in the world at everything has more fatalities from COVID-19 than every African country combined, which are some of the most impoverished and lacking in health care? Even Mexico, the country Trump likes to use as a scapegoat for everything, has 684 thousand cases compared to America's whopping near 7 million cases.
