Nearing seven months in office, Trump has proven only two things to the American people; he will be remembered as the worst president in history, and he is not the President of the United States of America; he is the president of some states.

When Trump made his pitiful and belated remarks about the tragic events in Charlottesville Virginia yesterday, if was obvious that chief of staff John Kelly insisted that he be more definitive in his comments. Later White House sources revealed that Trump did not want to denounce white supremacy.

Trump believes that he is my president, when in fact he is not. My president would not be an immoral, and ignorant man who supports extremists and places the financial gain of the one-percent ahead of the majority. My president places value on diversity. My president would establish as his or her number one priority the eradication of poverty in America. My president would actually work on legislation which would provide adequate healthcare for all Americans. My president would work with both Republicans and Democrats to pass legislation which would positively affect all 320 million Americans. My president would know that education is the most important investment in the future of our nation.

Trump’s need for adulation forces him to continue holding ‘rallies.’ Not only is this the most ridiculous idea in American history, it is the most divisive. He holds these angry and hate-filled events in the states where he won its electoral votes. He refuses to represent all Americans. He continuously speaks to his supporters which compose only 34 percent of the American people; and that number continues to fall.

A recent poll told the fact that Independents now outnumber those who call themselves Republicans or Democrats. This is good news for our nation; partisan voting damages America’s future. Only 29 percent of Independents are supportive of Donald Trump. The truth is that 60 percent of Americans do not trust Trump. I sincerely believe that number should be much higher. A man who lies constantly, and brags about achievements which were actually the result of another man’s efforts, cannot be trusted about anything.

Trump, his family, and his circle of sinners are an illusion. They are a group of greedy and ambitious men and a few women who have no interest in the future of the majority. Trump refuses to perform the job for which he was elected by millions of ignorant men and women; he is only concerned with advancing his personal fortune.

It is factual that Trump is the president of ‘some of the states of America;’ that does not include my beloved Nevada.

Please re-post; thank you.
