Dying brain cells, and physical signs of an escalating disease, add to the many reasons Trump must be removed from our White House.

One of the qualities needed to be an American president is the ability to accept criticism, and simply ignore any personal attacks. Unfortunately, Trump has a very small brain and is incapable of realizing that all presidents receive constant criticism and become objects for comedian’s jokes in multiple venues.

CRITICISMS LEVIED AT TRUMP ARE VALID BECAUSE HE EARNED THEM

The only reason Trump cannot accept and ignore attacks on his fascist policies and his total incompetence, is simple: it’s all true.

I was and remain a critic of George W. Bush. He was a complete failure domestically, and with foreign relations, while his economic policies placed America in the Great Recession. I do not need to discuss two costly, illegal, and unwinnable wars.

BT, before Trump, I believed that “W” was the dumbest president in history. He was illiterate and inexperienced. Over eight, long years, the situation failed to improve. In 2009 an intelligent Black man saved our nation from entering a second Great Depression. I will always consider Bush 43 our nation’s second worst president.

I UNDERESTIMATED HOW BAD A TRUMP PRESIDENCY WOULD BE

Thanks to a rigged election, Trump became your illegitimate president on January 20, 2017. During his first three days he was in office, he revealed himself as a racist, bigot, misogynist, homophobe, Islamophope, and a xenophobe who had no respect for the rule of law. Whenever he opened his mouth, we learned two things about the orange buffoon: Trump is totally illiterate, and everything, and I do mean everything, he says is a blatant lie.

When he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, he left President Biden with the nation nearing a depression, more than one million Americans had lost their lives, many of which could have been saved if Trump had led the fight against Covid-19 when he learned about the threat in December of 2019. Instead, he told us that “it will just go away” until March, 2020, when Americans began to lose their fight for life.

He was also the first president who committed treason in front of the television cameras, and committed a crime punishable by death when he stole more than a dozen boxes of national secrets from the White House.

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED BY A SECOND ILLEGITIMATE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

On day one, January 21, 2025, Trump did not end Greedflation, nor did he end the invasion of Ukraine as he promised during the 2024 campaign. Both situations have become worse. However, he did begin following his own fascist manifesto. Project 2025 was compiled from his many hate rallies and placed into a 922-page document. Thanks to six corrupt members of the Supreme Court, the madman ruling over us has become a dictator who violates the Constitution every moment he takes a breath.

AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT NEEDS JUST AVERAGE PHYSICAL STRENGTH, BUT EXTRAORDINARY MENTAL ABILITY IS A MUST

Time and time again Trump has proven that he possesses less than average intelligence. The primary reason for these facts are founded in his failure to take his opportunity for an exceptional education seriously, and his lack of interest in anyone other than himself.

In 2017, more than two dozen mental healthcare experts signed a letter stating their joint opinion that Trump is afflicted with malignant narcissism. I leave you with a repeat of the definition for this debilitating mental affliction.

[In the popular conception, malignant narcissism is a form of narcissistic personality disorder that is highly abusive. People with this personality supposedly get a sense of satisfaction from hurting others and may manipulate people or lie to gain money, acclaim, and other things they desire.

[Campbell’s Psychiatric Dictionary suggests that malignant narcissism includes traits of narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder. Narcissistic personality disorderTrusted Source causes a person to seek constant acclaim and admiration, often by whatever means necessary. It also includes elements of antisocial personality disorder, which causes a person to engage in harmful, and sometimes criminal, behavior.]

This is the “real Donald Trump.”
