Everything about Trump’s nearly 72 years on this planet is a farce. He was an unwanted child who was exiled to a military boarding school in the beginning of his teenage years who worshiped his father and continues to seek his approval, long after his death. His gigantic ego, and need for constant attention prove that he is mentally unstable.

Trump never mastered the “Art of the Deal.” He has no diplomatic skills. He is a schoolyard bully, and if that doesn’t result in success, he bribes public officials and finds a way to work around the law to accomplish his goals. Trump’s middle name is corruption. This has been his only ability to succeed in America, and he has no compunction about violating laws to accomplish his goals. He truly believes that he is above the law.

The much touted possibility that Trump would meet with North Korean Supreme Commander Kim Jong-un is facing many doubts. It is highly likely that both leaders were playing a ‘publicity game,’ and the reality of a successful meeting which might achieve multiple goals for the safety of the world is unrealistic. Trump is desperate for some positive publicity. Kim Jong-un is seeking recognition for himself and his nation. They are both fools and share a disregard for the future of their nation’s people.

I have witnessed many political failures and farces in my nearly 72 years, but none is more ridiculous and embarrassing than the nomination by several failed and hypocritical Republican politicians that Trump is in any manner qualified to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. He has done nothing. In direct opposition, he is the reason why dozens Americans are dying each year at the hands of white, domestic terrorists. He is the reason why innocent Palestinians continue to be slaughtered by Israeli soldiers. He is a war monger who has no concern and no ability to work for peace in any area of the world. Trump is the ultimate buffoon; the ultimate con man.

Do you miss ‘normalcy’ in America? Are you as exhausted as I am that Trump and his fascist administration are destroying democracy and the future of the nation of our founding fathers? We cannot accept the destructive policies of our illegitimate president and his circle of sinners for one more day. Trump is a traitor, and is using his illegitimate presidency to increase his personal wealth.

The end must come soon. Trump could be impeached for several legitimate reasons today. Sadly, Republican politicians are hypocrites and refuse to protect the future of our nation’s 320 million people.

Vote; and vote for yourself, not for a party. We need men and women who will serve, not rule over us. Take your country back.
