Donald “the Corrupter” Trump is not America’s president; he belongs solely to this Republican Party in name only and his handler, Vladimir Putin. Moscow Mitch, Jim Jordan, Chuck Grassley, Lindsey Graham, and other old, white men must take responsibility for Trump’s illegitimate presidency.

If the television media had treated Trump in the same manner they treated all other presidential candidates and presidents, his approval rating would be under 10 percent. His illegitimate presidency can only be given a grade of F-, he is without morals or principles, and will be remembered as a career criminal when he is no longer defiling the White House.

Bill Cosby was ostracized by the media after being convicted of sexual assault. Trump committed the same crimes as well as adulterous affairs with women after the birth of his youngest son, and is a self-admitted lifelong sexual predator; the media continues to protect him from the facts. His close association with Jeffrey Epstein has yet to be revealed in its entirety.

If we take an honest look at his failures in the last two years, nine months and 23 days, he is incompetent and unfit to wear the title of President of the United States. His failed fiscal policy of ‘trickle-down economics’ is undoing the recovery begun under President Obama. Trump is attempting to destroy healthcare for millions of Americans. Trump has already added one-trillion dollars to the national debt. His unilateral decision to implement an increase in tariffs is costing American businesses money and jobs, especially farmers, and forcing consumers to pay more at retail outlets. Another recession under the ‘leadership’ of a Republican president is moving closer every day. His support of white supremacy, and bigotry is unforgivable. But his most egregious act occurred in the Middle East.

Trump removed over 90 percent of American troops on the Turkish-Syrian border. These soldiers were fighting alongside the Kurds who had been battling ISIS for over four years. Turkey’s President/Dictator, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, immediately began attacking the Kurdish people. The attacks are not only on the battlefields, he is bombing villages and murdering old men, women, and children. Military experts have labeled Erdogan’s attacks ‘ethnic cleansing.’

In a short time, Trump has proven that he is a worse president than Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, Howard Taft, and George W. Bush. He is in a “class all by himself;” lower class that is.
