If you know anything about Trump, you are aware that he has been Putin’s “boy toy” since 1987. What is happening today comes directly from a blueprint Trump received long ago.

When the two fascists first met in 1987, Putin laid the foundation for Trump’s actions and plans for America’s future in 2026.

With this undeniable fact, let’s look at the massive failures of Donald Trump beginning in 2015.

THE LONG AND WINDING ESCALATOR

It was intended to be a show. For me, it was a pitiful effort by an old, obese, white man to make himself appear important, presidential.

Trump and his third trophy wife, Melania, rode escalators from their residence in Trump Tower down to the lobby where the press was waiting. They could have taken the elevator, but this would have been too “commonplace” for the orange buffoon.

As he always does, he made a rambling speech which could have been just a few words. He announced his intention to seek the Republican Party’s nomination for the 2016 election.

OPENLY RACIST HATE RALLIES COMPOSED OF CAMPAIGN PROMISES HE NEVER INTENDED TO KEEP

From his first of many hate rallies, we heard many promises from the pathological liar. Among them were: “I will build a wall between America and Mexico, and Mexico will pay for it.” Another: “You will win so many times, you’ll beg me to stop.”

History proves that not a single promise was kept with the exception of “Making America Great Again,” which in reality was an effort to “make America white again.”

The rest we all know. Trump constantly violated the Constitution while his tax cuts for his oligarchs placed our nation near bankruptcy, adding trillions of dollars to the national debt. His failure to lead the fight against Covid-19, placed our nation in economic disaster, moving towards a second Great Depression. His failure to take action when he first learned about a coming health emergency resulted in the loss of more than one million American lives.

In January of 2021, Trump was evicted from the White House after committing treason on January 6. Trump violated the Espionage Act on the 20^th as he stole numerous boxes of national secrets, placing them on trucks headed for Mar-a-Lago.

THE 2020 ELECTION PROVED THAT ONCE AGAIN TRUMP WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S “BEST CANDIDATE”

Trump’s huge defeat in the 2020 election confirmed two things. First, most Americans hated Trump. Secondly, right-wing extremists were unable to find a single candidate among them which was better than the worst man in the world.

However, this fact was forgotten when the former Republican Party nominated “Trumpenstein” once again in 2024.

A HUGE FAILURE BY A CORRUPT SCOTUS, AND MORE BROKEN CAMPAIGN PROMISES

Although section three of the 14^th Amendment clearly prevented Trump from running for any federal office, six corrupt members of the Supreme Court ignored their single responsibility and allowed Trump’s name to be on the ballots in all 50 states.

Two campaign promises were credited for his “victory” on November 5^th: “I will end inflation on day one,” and, “I will end the war in Ukraine on day one.”

In what is actually “Greedflation,” prices on necessities continue to escalate. When Trump’s ill-advised tariffs are added, the quality of life for most of our nation’s 340 million people is in decline.

The invasion of Ukraine continues and has become more brutal and deadly.

Most of you are probably asking “why” Trump has virtually ignored these serious and very harmful issues.

TRUMP’S PERSONAL AMBITIONS ARE HIS ONLY PRIORITY

Our nation’s greedy billionaires/oligarchs don’t care about the future of working-class Americans. They are making outrageous profits and either purchasing more mansions, and expensive toys, or placing their superfluous profits in offshore accounts. Trump will never refuse to serve his 902 supporters.

Remember, Trump owes Putin everything. Only when and if the leaders of Ukraine agree to Putin’s demands, his reasons for invading a sovereign nation, will the war forced upon the people of Ukraine come to an end. Trump’s own words and actions prove that he will continue to surrender his own principles and values to Putin, that is, if he ever had any in the first place.

Facts prove that his promises were nothing more than more lies from the malignant narcissist.
