The Fake, Pretend President
02/08/25
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing!” (freshman Representative John McCain, in 1984, at a town hall meeting in Arizona)
The very best action all American citizens can now take for the future of democracy in our country is to stand up against and resist anything that the semiliterate, childlike, twittering, misogynistic, dysfunctional, malignant narcissist in the Oval Office has to say. Reduce Trump to what he truly is: a meaningless and unimportant non-entity in America’s history. In short, twice-impeached Trump, the convicted felon, is irrelevant. We don’t need to normalize deviant behavior any longer. Trump’s actions “degrade what it means to be an American.” We believe in tolerance, but we don’t believe in what Trump stands for and teaches, namely mainstreaming hate, bigotry, bullying, outright lying, skewing the facts and casual misogyny. Additionally, Trump’s continuous, incendiary, divisive rhetoric has contributed to a rise in extremism, providing a green light for violence in America. The tone is set by example from the top down — shit flows downhill. It is Trump himself who is “the Enemy of the People,” and not the free press.
Twice-impeached Trump is undeniably an inexcusable embarrassment to all thinking Americans; and every citizen must now become an insurgent, rising up against this unchecked, adolescent and tyrannical megalomaniac who uses Mein Kampf as his playbook, lives in his own twisted reality of alternative facts, exaggerations and falsehoods where he lies pathologically, discards diplomacy, insults world leaders, encourages white supremacy, supports sexual abusers, exploits every situation to aggrandize himself, endlessly brags about his self-professed accomplishments but doesn’t know the Constitution, undermines the rule of law and the established institutions of democracy, facilitates the erosion of American democratic standards, and contributes to the decline of global freedom. His mouth with its combative tone brings great shame to the American people. And even more shamefully, nearing his eighties, he doesn’t even know the words to the national anthem. This isn’t fake news, folks, but rather a “fake president.” You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig. You can’t superficially improve someone who’s deficient.
Speak Out Loudly to Resist Incompetence
So what do we do now until we oust Trump? As Khizr Khan, the Gold Star father who gave the impassioned speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention, said, “All of us patriots need to remain standing in unity, support one another, and continue to speak louder” against Trump; for over 200 years ago Edmund Burke wrote, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Just as there were both “bystanders” and “upstanders” during the Nazi holocaust, there were significant consequences of choosing to act, or not to act, in the face of injustice. Nobel prize winning scientist Albert Einstein declared, “The world is too dangerous to live in — not because of the people who do evil, but because of the people who sit and let it happen.” We all need to continue to resist and speak up loudly against Trump's incompetent leadership, and to work to support and elect candidates who understand and support our values and democracy so that the country doesn’t make an absolutely terrible mistake like Trump ever again. Trump is nothing more than a “has been” reality show host of a show where the ratings kept dropping each year he was the host. The only place Trump’s ratings didn’t drop were inside his own twisted, alternative reality.
Trump = Evil Incarnate = Little Hitler!

Trump’s Pattern
Trump’s consistent and predictable pattern is to DENY, DISMISS, DEFLECT, DENIGRATE, DIVIDE and DESTROY. He BERATES and BELITTLES. He is DIVISIVE, DICTATORIAL, DEMEANING, DYSFUNCTIONAL, a DRAFT DODGER and DISTURBINGLY DISGUSTING. He would rather build walls than bridges between people. He thrives on being contentious and then disallows opposing opinions as being fake news or lies. He’s a malignant narcissist. The country needs to oust this vindictive and incompetent schoolyard bully now and inaugurate an authentic president, this time one who didn’t lose the popular vote, who will focus on the agenda of the American people instead of his own personal gain and that of his fellow billionaires. We’re living under the worst president in all of American history; one who wants to be a tyrannical “king” in a country where there’s no place for a king. In Trump’s own words to our troops on 11/4/17, “History has proven over and over that the road of the tyrant is a steady march towards poverty, suffering and servitude.”
These are real facts about the twice-impeached president and convicted felon (on 34 separate counts). We wish it weren’t so, but it is.

Trump Humiliates and Divides America
08/18/18
Highly respected Navy Admiral William H. McRaven, who oversaw the 2011 mission to kill Osama Bin Laden, said that Trump has “humiliated” and “divided” America. McRaven is a former Navy SEAL and commander of the Joint Special Operations Command. He forgot more about serving and honoring America than Trump ever learned.
