Every four years the American people elect a president; more accurately we select members of the Electoral College who elect the president. Regardless, he or she is called the “President of the United States.” We don’t have that situation today. Trump refuses to represent the people of any state who voted for Hillary Clinton or anyone who opposes his failed ideas and demands. Trump is the “president of the right-wing,” and only the right-wing.

When California was devastated by its worst wildfires in history, Trump blamed California. When Alabama was heavily damaged by tornadoes, he promised to rush aid to one of the reddest states in the union. Puerto Rico remains in disrepair years after Hurricane Maria devasted the island of 3.4 million Americans. He is not interested; they cannot vote in our elections, and they are Hispanic.

Trump has ignored the issues which faced our nation on election day, November 8, 2016. His only focus has been on immigration, and he’s not serious about that problem. His lack of intelligence has forced him to claim a single solution; a wall. Walls continue to be breached daily in several ways, including tunnels under them which allow hundreds of immigrants to cross our borders in minutes. But this ignorant failure demands a wall which will cost billions of dollars and is guaranteed to fail.

Here’s the latest effort by Trump to harm those who oppose his fascist platform.

Before Kirstjen Nielsen was forced to resign, Trump demanded that she release immigrants being held on our southern border to be released in so called “sanctuary cities” for the sole purpose of punishing liberals who care about others than white, Christian Americans. For white supremacist, Donald Trump, this is unacceptable.

If he were a normal man Trump would be pitied. His ego is fragile, and his need to be loved and admired is huge. It all began when he was 13 and his parents sent him away to military boarding school. This continues today; Trump has no friends, and never has. There’s nothing about this failed man which would attract other human beings. His life has been all about him. He lacks compassion and understanding for others and his only god is money. No one has ever seen him hug his own children; even his handshakes are perfunctory.

Trump is not a man; he is a shell. He is not an American president and must be removed by any means from the White House and exiled to his millionaires only club, Mar-a-Lago.
