When all real Americans woke up on the morning of November 9^th, 2016 and realized the we had not experienced a nightmare, and Donald Trump, the most unqualified candidate for any elected office in the history of the world, had received a win in the unconstitutional Electoral College, we were frightened. But, how bad could be be? The Republicans controlled congress, which is the most powerful branch of our “check and balance” system, and would surely control the man who was confirmed as a racist and a sexual predator long before the election. Sadly, with Moscow Mitch McConnell, and Lyin Paul Ryan in leadership roles of the right-wing, they moved 180 degrees in their opinion of Trump and bowed to the fuhrer’s every demand. Can you say “hypocrites?”

However, could he really cause serious harm to America? He was only one man. How wrong we were.

Today Trump once again failed at an attempt to misdirect the American people. His recent act of treason; attempting to bribe the leader of Ukraine with taxpayer money to gain political advantage; has made it impossible not to impeach the orange man.

In his address to the legitimate press; nearly everyone other than Fox Noise and the Sinclair Group; he tried very hard to blame Joe Biden and all Democrats for his crime, and every failure of his administration. Let’s set the record straight.

The last two right-wing presidents, which were in fact Republicans in name only, proved themselves to be the worst two illegitimate presidents in history. We must never forget that Trump was aided by Russia, the American mainstream media, and James Comey, and “W” was gifted the 2000 election by a biased Supreme Court. Neither won the votes of the people; commonly called the ‘popular vote.’

Trump constantly lies to the American people, and violates the Constitution nearly every day. His attempts to obstruct justice and his many violations of the Emoluments Clause make it mandatory that he is impeached. Economists are warning the American people that Trump’s failed fiscal policies will soon place America in another recession.

Bush lied to the American people about WMDs in Iraq and placed our nation in two unwinnable wars; one of which remains active today after 18 years. His failed economic policies nearly caused a depression in 2008.

The facts prove that all Americans experience a far better quality of life under Democrats.

The answer to my title question is simple. I could list all of Trump’s mistakes, his lack of intelligence, his immoral actions, and his refusal to learn the job for which millions of ignorant Americans elected him, but that would take hours and more pages than you would be willing to read.

So, let’s reduce the truth to basics. Trump’s level of intelligence is far below the average American. A man who has failed to accomplish anything in his life cannot be expected to lead the largest economy in the world. A man who knows nothing about anything could not magically learn what was required of him in a short period of time. Add to this fact Trump’s refusal to take advice from anyone else, and he was doomed to fail.

Let’s help the obese, dirty old man do what he really wants to do; golf, grab women by the crotch, and watch television 100 percent of the time.

“The truth lives here;” please spread the word.
