Whenever I see a red MAGA hat, I cringe. "Make American Great Again" is really a dog whistle for "Make America White Again." Those red hats are a chilling reminder of Hitler's use of the swastika as a symbol of Nazism. I truly believe that if Donald Trump returns to the White House, American democracy is lost. On November 5th, 2024, the stakes couldn't be higher for America and the world. America's democratic freedoms are in jeopardy if Trump is elected, and if he loses, he won't accept the results. The former president refuses to acknowledge his 2020 defeat because he does not believe in the peaceful handover of power, which is one of the core principles of democracy.
I will be blunt because it is necessary. Donald Trump has never hidden his intentions. He has stated that he would be a dictator on the first day of his presidency. The man is a racist, misogynistic, narcissistic convicted criminal. He is adored by white supremacists and neo-Nazis such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Trump considers them to be great patriots, The ex-president has been twice impeached and criminally indicted four times. In a civil case, he was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming writer E. Jean Carroll.
P.T. Barnum said there was a sucker born every minute. Donald Trump is following in Barnum's footsteps. Trump is behaving like the stereotype of a used car salesman, shamelessly hawking sneakers, perfume, and even the Holy Bible. Trump's conduct is unprecedented and undignified for a former American president and the Republican party's prospective presidential nominee for 2024.

To those who have donated their hard earned money to the Trump campaign, I have one simple question. Do you really think Donald Trump cares about you.? The answer is a resounding NO. Trump said so himself at a recent rally in Las Vegas. He told the crowd, "I don't care about you. I just want your vote. I don't care." I realize Trump's supporters simply ignore the facts, but their false messiah actually said those words. They are on record in any video of Trump's Vegas speech.
Do you really want your money going to pay for Donald Trump's legal fees? Do you really want to fund a Trump private plane, or perhaps former First Lady Melania's hairstylist. According to Federal Election Commission (FEC), Trump's Save America political action committee paid his wife's former personal stylist, Herve Pierre Braillard, $108,000 in the first six months of 2023 for "strategy consulting."
Speaking of Melania, she doesn't seem to care either. Remember when she wore that infamous designer jacket with the words "I Really Don't Care, Do U." At first, Trump officials claimed the words were meaningless. Later, Melania told ABC that the message was aimed at her critics in "the left-wing media." Even if that were the case, it was foolish for her to wear the jacket while en route to visit detained children who were separated from their families at the U.S. Mexican border. What a poor choice! What poor timing! Could you imagine Jill Biden or Michelle Obama wearing such a jacket? By the way, it was Melania's husband who cruelly detained those children and separated them from their families.
Even the most ardent Trumper must be noticing how delusional and incoherent their messiah has become. It's obvious that he is not a well man. He's losing it. He's slurring his speech. In Vegas, he told his audience to "choose suicide over Biden." He's been saying weird things about Hannibal Lector. He actually told his Fox News friend, Sean Hannity, that he would imprison his political opponents without due process.
Donald Trump is now a convicted felon. He was found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in a hush money scandal. The documents were not falsified to spare the feeling of Trump's wife, Melania. They were falsified to protect Trump's 2016 presidential campaign from more scandal after his infamous Access Hollywood interview. That, ladies and gentlemen, is election interference.
Trump constantly whines and complains. He portrays himself as a victim. The truth is that he has always been given special treatment. Until now, he has never had to take responsibility for his actions. The former president was found guilty by a jury of his peers. The trial was not rigged by Joe Biden or Democrats.
It is becoming more and more evident that Trump's behaviour is not normal, and should not be normalized. He leads his MAGA followers in cursing chants. Is that dignified presidential behaviour? Furthermore, Trump is a pathological liar. He said he never participated in the "Lock her up!" Hillary chants, when he is clearing seen in videos encouraging the chants and even revelling in them. During his Vegas speech,, Trump did not talk bout his polices, how or how he intends to improve life in the United States? No, he said he would rather be electrocuted than eaten by a shark.
Do you really think that an unstable man, a man who appears to be slipping into dementia, should have his hand on the nuclear button? Do you want a charlatan, a con man, a snake oil salesman to be America's president? It's sad that so many of his followers have been programmed into a cult-like worship of Donald Trump. He.is not fit to be president. He is a sick man.
Trump supporter will say that Biden is old and senile (He's 81 and Trump is not much younger. He'll be 78 on June 14th). They will shout, "What about Hunter Biden!" Those are all red herrings to take the spotlight away from Donald Trump's scams and his deceit. Joe Biden is not responsible for everything his son has done. Not only that, but Hunter Biden, holds no political office. He has no political power and he is not running for president.
Yes, Joe Biden is an octogenarian. He has shortcomings, like any politician. However, if you take a close look at the economic statistics, the American economy has performed well, and unemployment is low. Biden does not give tax breaks to billionaires and he does not become buddies with dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un. He cares about climate change. He cares about gun deaths. Joe Biden will accept the results of an election. He will not lead a mob in an assault on the Capitol in Washington. Most importantly, Biden believes in democracy and the rule of law. Donald Trump does not.
