They said it couldn’t happen; every man eventually grows up. However, approaching the age of 80, Trump remains immature and childish. His demeanor is that of a 13-year-old boy. Without taking responsibility for his own failures and concern for others, he never became a “man.”

Mature men, who are secure with the person they have become, are capable of celebrating their successes and accepting defeat. Therefore, we brush criticism off our shoulders whether it is accurate or inaccurate, knowing that we learn from our own mistakes and the perception of failure by others. None of this describes the orange man-child defiling our White House today.

EVERYONE BUT TRUMP AND HIS PARTY KNEW THAT TARIFFS WERE A BAD IDEA

Two of Trump’s Supreme Court Justices, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, voted in favor of forcing an end to Trump’s policy of bullying other nations into submission by placing outrageous tariffs on imported goods. I knew that he would immediately have another temper tantrum. That’s just what he did. It was another display of a weak mind and a lack of average intelligence.

Everyone in the world who studied history, was aware that tariffs never result in economic growth or even stability.

In 1931, Herbert Hoover placed huge tariffs on all imported goods in a doomed to fail effort to lessen the effects of the Great Depression. It only made the situation much worse.

Trump inherited a growing economy from President Biden. However, in 2026, America is moving towards another recession, and Trump’s failed policies have added four trillion dollars to the national debt in a single year. Another first for the orange buffoon.

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE CANNOT AFFORD THREE MORE YEARS OF THE WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY

Never forget that most of Trump’s destructive and illegal actions are attempts to hide the truth about the Epstein files. Some people have begun to re-label those files, calling them the Trump/Epstein Files. Trump’s name is mentioned more than one million times in the documents released so far. No one can deny that Trump was a participant in Epstein’s underage sex parties. He made at least seven trips to Epstein’s private island.

Every action taken by Trump and his woefully incompetent administration since January 20, 2025 have been destructive and continue to cause harm to the majority of our nation’s 340 million people.

His economic policies are a disaster and will bankrupt our nation before January 20, 2029.

But Trump is not concerned. He has increased his personal wealth by more than four billion dollars during his first year of his second illegitimate presidency.

I REITERATE ONE FACT

It is no secret and is the absolute truth: Trump is the worst thing to happen to the United States of America in its nearly 250 years.

There is another “truth.” Every man and woman in Washington knows that Trump’s presidencies are illegal and he never should have been inaugurated in 2017 or in 2025. Both elections were rigged by Putin. Our nation’s greatest enemy is now in complete control of the lives of 340 million American people.

This is what happens when voters choose ignorance over fact.
