Trump serves Trump, not the American people. When informed about the Russian efforts to interfere in our election, he failed to condemn Vladimir Putin, and promise the American people that he would lead the fight to prevent a recurrence, and punish Russia for what was tantamount to a declaration of war. Instead he shouted to the cameras “no collusion,” “no collusion.”

Robert Mueller’s indictment of 13 Russians and three Russian companies yesterday confirmed two things; intervention by Russian agents altered the results of our election, and Trump’s campaign was aware of the efforts. Every senior official and family member involved in Trump’s campaign was in contact with Russian agents throughout the 2016 campaign. The only question remaining is ‘how much did Sessions, Kushner, Flynn, and others contribute to Putin’s efforts?’

My prediction is that Trump will not discuss the bombshell announcement on Friday, and he will fail to both condemn and punish Russia for violating the most sacred right of the American people. Trump and Putin began their plans in 2013, and every Republican in Washington is fully aware of that fact. I have never accepted Trump as my president, and I never will. Not only is his presidency illegitimate, his lack of morals, and obvious mental incompetence make him unfit to wear the label of president. His support and leadership of the white supremacy movement denies him the right to call himself an American. Trump is a man who has taken advantage of a capitalistic society for personal gain. He has never taken a single action to serve his country or our nation’s people, and that has not changed with his gift of the presidency from the Electoral College.

Trump is the most hated man in the world, and he has earned that title simply by being himself.
