Seventy-seven million people voted for him in 2024. At least seventy-five million didn’t.
Either he’s good for the country or he isn’t. If it comes down to being truthful, a number of that 77 million are starting to realize he’s monumentally bad for most of us. He’s lazy, angry, calculating, morally bankrupt, transactional, and inept. He is a liar’s liar, and he is broken.
Governance is the last thing on his mind. It’s all about grift, self-preservation, using the power and influence of the office he holds, and monetizing everything. He’s not God’s gift to anyone, including the MAGA faithful and most Republicans in Congress who exist in a bubble with fingers in their ears all day every day.
A pox on anyone who looks for a silver lining with this guy. He deserves no benefit of any doubt. He is distilled indolence, poster child for skin deep, beholden to the deepest pockets, in awe of despots. He is a marionette operated at the whim of people who want to destroy the power in diversity, render America a land full of sheep– nothing more than an oligarchy and a repository of white privilege and a brand of “Christianity” that might have atheists rolling in their graves.
If the tide starts turning in November, Trump won’t be going anywhere– even after he leaves office or decides he can run for another term. As long as he lives, he will need to be consequential. He will need to be seen and heard.
What an asshole.
