The truth is that Trump is treating the presidency as he lived his public life; he believes that he is a monarch; above the law; and is not a servant of the American people. His choices of admiration for other world leaders and to offer allegiance to them, range from Adolf Hitler, to Rodrigo Duterte, Recep Tayipp Erdogan, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Kim Jong-un, and Vladimir Putin. Trump rejects the leaders of the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, Mexico, and any other nation which once pledged loyalty to the American people.
Why has this happened? The truth is that Trump has rejected our allies and has forced America to stand alone under instruction for Putin. His latest effort; to place tariffs on imports from China, the nations of the European Union, Canada, and Mexico have alienated our nation’s closest allies and offers support to our enemies.
Trump’s ignorance and lack of knowledge about the government established by our nation’s founders forces him to believe that he is a king and not a legally elected caretaker of our nation. His goals have become the future of a nation which will suffer for generations because of his vile decisions. We must add to this fact the cowardice and hypocrisy of the Republican party which has supported his every fascist effort. McConnell and Ryan have proven themselves to be traitors to our nation.
We can alter the direction in which the Trump administration has led his uninformed and anti-American followers. We can take out nation back and save America for our children and grandchildren. Vote on November 6th and remove all ‘Republicans in name only’ from Washington. We have the power, but we must use it wisely and with resolve. We can protect the nation we love and remove all power from a maniacal man who seeks to become our nation’s fuhrer.
