The truth: Trump is guilty of everything about which he has been accused. He has proven in the last 39 months that he is your ‘criminal-in-chief.’ Another fact is that he could be impeached several more times. His biggest lie was on January 20, 2017 when he promised to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” He has violated the Constitution more frequently than any other politician in history. I am positive that he is tied for the most lies and conspiracy theories with Alex Jones.

Trump’s most recent failure is his most egregious, and one I predicted in 2015. The first time your illegitimate president faced a crisis, he received a grade of “F.” Although he was first informed of the possibility of a worldwide health crisis in November of 2019, he failed to respond to the information in the President’s Daily Brief. He did nothing until mid-March when the pandemic was racing across our nation. The truth is that he remained in denial for more than three months.

Trump is always blaming someone or something else for his many mistakes. When he failed to offer an acceptable healthcare plan for America to replace Obamacare, he desperately sought a scapegoat. He failed because it would have removed healthcare from more than 24 million Americans. He blamed the last true Republican, the late Senator from Arizona, John McCain, for his inability to lead our nation.

The Robert Mueller investigation was a “witch hunt” according to Trump, although every top member of his campaign staff, and at least two members of the Trump Klan had engaged in meetings with top Russian agents during the 2016 campaign. Naturally, he blamed Democrats, claiming that they were angry about losing the election. That is mostly true. The election was illegitimate. The mainstream television media and Vladimir Putin were responsible for a lower than expected voter turnout. This resulted in Trump losing the popular vote and securing the needed Electoral College votes in three states by a total of 77,000 votes.

He also claims that he won the popular vote. Voter fraud is his excuse for failing to be a popular and illegitimate victor in 2016. Voting fraud has been proven to be a blatant lie. The only “fraud” was committed by his handler, Vladimir Putin.

So, what or who is he blaming for his failure to lead in the fight against Covid-19? First, he blamed China. Then he blamed the World Health Organization, and the Center for Disease Control. Now he is making up a conspiracy theory without content, and calls it “Obamagate.”

He cannot find anything because there is nothing. Historians are already remarking that President Obama’s eight-year administration will be remembered as the only presidency without a single scandal in modern history.

On the contrary, Trump has not experienced a single day in office when he was not facing a scandal and an investigation. He is now being investigated for violations of the Emoluments Clause. Trump is only our third president to be impeached, and he could be tried once more before the end of the year.

Trump is many things, and none of them have a positive connotation.

Trump’s latest attack and attempt at misdirection is against blue states. Although California has the fifth largest economy in the world, Trump falsely claims that “red states are in great financial shape and blue states are struggling.” The truth is that red states are the poorest in the nation. Blue state governors and legislators care about the lives of their citizens, leaders of red states do not. Profit before people is the mission statement of all right-wing politicians.
