Donald J. Trump has a single enemy; that enemy is powerful, and cannot be defeated. Lying constantly is the same as “bringing a knife to a gun fight.” Every despot in history has challenged the same foe, and they have all been defeated. The truth will always rise above efforts to confuse and misdirect the people.

Donald Trump is the enemy of the American people, but he is powerless against us when the truth is exposed. We are 320 million strong, and even those who choose to initially believe his lies will eventually join the revolution.

Trump refuses to accept the proven fact that his close friend, Vladimir Putin, interfered in our election. His thinly disguised effort to cover-up joint efforts between himself and Putin to win the 2016 election have been proven to be factual, although Republicans continue their attempts to protect their fascist leader.

Thirteen months after the Electoral College gifted him the presidency, Trump continues his obsession with Hillary Clinton. This mentally deficient man refuses to accept the fact that a woman crushed him in the popular vote. Trump continues to attack his conqueror in hope of changing history; of changing the facts.

How much longer will the television media and their partners in the Republican Party allow a traitor to sit behind the desk in the Oval Office? He is the enemy of the working class, minorities, and women. In a single year Trump has renewed the discussion of growing racism in America. In just 12 months Trump has led the rise of white nationalism. Nearing one year since his inauguration, Trump has divided our nation to a degree not experienced since the Civil War. Our Constitution has not been under such a vicious attack since the Joseph McCarthy hearings in the 1950’s.

Truth is the enemy of a fascist state. Trump has attempted to alter the role of a president and introduce autocratic rule. He is unable to exist in a world of fact. Trump has one goal for his presidency; to increase his personal wealth, and the wealth of other white men in America. For Trump the working class does not exist. He has ignored the growing number of families whose income has decreased. For Trump the 49+ million Americans who struggle to survive below the poverty line are a fable; he denies their existence.

Millions of Americans accepted ‘Hitler-style’ rhetoric and elected a buffoon; the ultimate con man. Their ignorance has allowed the enemy of the American people to defile the White House.

Time for real change. Please spread the truth. Send Republicans home in November.
