The word “ego” was created to describe Donald Trump. He seriously believes that he is the only one who can do anything, and his opinion about everything is infallible. He believes that he will win in November without the assistance of the Republican Party establishment.
Trump denounced Republican leaders for their condemnation of his attacks on the judge who will preside over the lawsuit against Trump University, and his comments after the massacre in Orlando.
“You know the Republicans — honestly folks, our leaders, our leaders have to get tougher,” he said. “This is too tough to do it alone, but you know what I think I’m going to be forced to. I think I’m going to be forced to. Our leaders have to get a lot tougher.”
“Be quiet,” he chided. “Just please be quiet. Don’t talk. Please be quiet. Just be quiet … because they have to get tougher, they have to get sharper, they have to get smarter. We have to have our Republicans either stick together or let me just do it by myself.”
The question which should be asked by the media is ‘who are Donald Trump’s supporters?’ Originally they were obviously displaying their anger at the Republican establishment’s failures. Now that Trump has openly revealed his racist and bigoted attitudes towards millions of Americans, how can they continue to support him. He has not offered a single solution to America’s domestic problems. The only offerings he has made to his supporters are a wall, deportation, and banning one entire religious group from America; none of which would be allowed to accomplish.
My continued complaint is about the majority of Republican leaders who have displayed hypocrisy by supporting the man they formerly opposed with great vigor. Reince Priebus, Mitch McConnell, and Paul Ryan cannot be called ‘leaders’ if they defile the credibility of the GOP brand. Party loyalty cannot take precedence over the future of the nation if you are elected by the American people.
Any Republican politician who originally opposed the failed businessman and flip-flopped to support him must be voted out of office. These men and women have no loyalty to the American people.
The future of our nation will be decided in November. If the worst happens, and Trump is elected, he will destroy the very fabric of our nation and cause a division greater than during the Bush Administration. Nations around the world will laugh at us, and then display a great fear for the safety and future of the world which would be led by a megalomaniac.
We would have a president who favors fascism over democracy. He would not need a cabinet; he knows everything. The opinion of military leaders would not be considered; once again, he knows more than anyone about everything.
Your vote will decide the future of our nation. Use your intellect and deny emotional baggage for your sake, and the welfare of your family and friends.
