Trump’s circle of sinners has a single mandate; a single goal. If an issue profits their illegitimate president, they support it; if not it must be denounced and dismantled. The truth is that Trump has never cared about anyone else in his entire life. This fact continues as our nation’s illegitimate president increases his wealth every day with foreign investments. He is not interested in the future of our nation’s people, he us using his position to advance his personal wealth. The term is ‘pay for play.’ If someone scratches his back, he will respond favorably. Republicans are inoring the truth and are proving that the term ‘conservative’ cannot be applied to their party in name only.

Trump constantly praises Vladimir Putin, President Xi Jinping of China, Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey, Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines, and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. He has business interests in each of these nations. In contrast to all 44 presidents he rejects the European Union, Canada, and Mexico. Trump’s only god is money. He and his failed administration compose the most corrupt government in the history of the free world.

I have a single question and a fact. The Republican Party supports Trump because they value their party before their fake love of country. I want to know why the television media has supported Trump for the last three years. They have given him a free pass with regularity, and held him to the lowest standard in modern history. Is it because television personalities, who claim to be legitimate journalists, are included in the 10.8 million millionaires who infest our nation?

Trump falsely claimed that Hillary and Bill Clinton were involved in ‘pay for play’ related to their foundation. The television media has refused to report the fact that Trump has stolen every penny from his own foundation for personal use. Why? Trump has frequently claimed that the 2016 election was rigged. There is a preponderance of circumstantial evidence that it was rigged and collusion between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin enabled the orange man to win the Electoral College.

I have no answer for my final question; why have so many Americans been fooled by Trump? The only answer I can believe is that they support his beliefs in white supremacy and fascism, and choose to be ignorant. They are to blame for the demise of freedom and democracy in America.
