The Facebook Thread – Trump Wins
When we can no longer be friends when a difference in the ballot box, then Donald Trump wins. It means he has managed to divide us.
Now to the other side. Understand that is what Donald Trump is. He is a divisive bully who would rather destroy something to build. Yes he made his money as a “builder.” All the while cheating his contractors and co-investors. If Michael Cohen can believe, and Donald Trump just added credibility to his claims, then he has inflated or deflated the values of his properties in order to reduce his tax burden and increase his ability to get loans. I.e. he has as a private citizen committed fraud.
Why would anyone think he would not do so as President is beyond me.
Donald Trump’s so called accomplishments as President
Instead of working with a program which needed improvement he chooses to start over. Why, because it was his predecessors program. He has gutted ObamaCare, since it became obvious that there were provisions which were popular and his own party couldn’t find an improvement while they controlled both houses of Congress.
He has exited the optional Paris Climate Control treaty. Again no replacement, just goodbye.
Iran is again working on a nuclear program, when he unilaterally decided to reimpose sanctions. No proof that Iran was cheating on the program. Just the previous administration entered into the agreement. It must be the worst treaty ever written.
By executive order he is gutting environmental programs created by all his predecessors from both parties.
As far as coronavirus is concerned.
He “closed” our borders with China. But those traveling from China and Europe were never treated as potential carriers. He ignored the science. Of course it was easy, because he closed the National Security Council department created by his predecessor to prepare for just such a disease.
Since then he has blamed Obama for “bare” cupboards, blamed the Chinese for letting it over their border, quote “they could have stopped it so easily.” Well the question I have for Donald Trump is, if the Chinese could have stopped it so easily, why couldn’t you have prevented the United States with all of our best in the world resources from becoming the leader in coronavirus cases and deaths?
I now consider this the Trump Flu. He is president of the United States and the buck stops at his desk. The economy was more important than the health of our citizens, until he could see the writing on wall. Without changing direction, he is not going to get elected.
Racism
I am a racist. I am white, I choose to have mostly white friends. When in an situation with mixed races, if I can find a way to not be followed by a person of color I do. I don’t avoid by I am alert. So yes I’m a racist. I admit it.
So is Donald Trump holed up in the White House behind ever expanding barriers.
But I will not let my racism define who I am. I will not let my leaders create laws which treat those of us who are different unequally. I recognize that there is systemic racism in this country and action is required to change our path.
If changing names of bases, removing statutes erected during times of segregation help with the healing process, then those actions must occur. This action recognizes the wrongs committed by whites against our fellow citizens. It begins the healing process.
Violence Is Not the Answer.
I’d ask those of us who were alive on bloody Sunday their thoughts when the police attacked the marchers in Selma. Compare those thoughts to your thoughts today.
What is happening in Portland, OR is a stain on our country. Donald Trump could not get his military to act so he brought in the border patrol. This is a action worthy of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and many other dictators.
Is this the country we have become? Is this the country we want to be?
My Trump acquaintances, While I will never undertand…
If you will not acknowledge that Trump is a liar and a bully. I’m sorry for you lapse in judgement,
I will not stop playing bridge with and against you. I hope we can still be “friends.” We must agree on common ground as a country. In this instance we must agree to disagree. Strongly disagree. And move forward on matters of importance.
