"It's

-Cory Booker
Worst President in US History
Donald Trump
isn't just a flawed president. He stands, in this view, as the most damaging
occupant of that office in the modern era, without any real rival for that
distinction.
He has transformed the presidency into a stage for personal drama, made loyalty
to him a political litmus test, and turned the country's divisions into a tool
of governance rather than a problem to solve.
Under him, facts bend to whatever serves his interests. Institutions earn his
respect only when they fall in line. Allies become expendable, critics become
adversaries, and constitutional boundaries become obstacles to route around.

Scott Pelley Responding
to Trump's Criticism
This Is Not Normal
A president's job, in principle, is to bring the nation together, uphold the
Constitution, safeguard the public, and hand off a stronger democracy than the
one he inherited.
By this account, Trump has done the reverse — normalizing corruption, harshness,
disorder, and the belief that holding power outweighs any guiding principle.
History, in this framing, won't measure him by crowd sizes, rally rhetoric, or
the loyalty of his base. It will measure the wreckage he leaves.
And when that reckoning arrives, he may not be remembered as the leader who
restored American greatness, but as the one who put the country's democratic
resilience to its harshest test.

Trump's
Fans
What is most disturbing is not that Donald Trump is so observably diabolical,
it's the fact that his deluded fans do not seem to care. It is profoundly
disappointing to realize that millions of our fellow Americans identify with
this president and regard him as their hero and savior. As such, we are sharing
our nation with citizens who support a fascist dictator, an authoritarian
madman, a lawless leader. They are engaged in the mindless worship of a tyrant
king.
They affirm
and promote his dishonesty, corruption, ignorance, hypocrisy, violence, and
incompetence. They are okay with his greed, narcissism, and reckless abuse of
his political position for personal gain. They applaud his immorality and
depravity and ignore his bigotry, racism, sexism, misogyny, adultery, sexual
misconduct, rape, and pedophilia.
They are well-represented by a hateful, soulless, malicious, vindictive,
warmongering, gaslighting white supremacist moron who disregards the
Constitution and the rule of law and harbors profound contempt and disdain for
the American people.

Trump's pathetic MAGA
followers talk a good game, but they do not walk their
talk. They have no credibility regarding their precious
values. They support a president whose words and actions
are contrary to their beliefs.
They say they believe in fidelity and faithfulness, and
yet they elected a man who is untrustworthy and
dishonest, a man who is disloyal and breaks his
promises. They say they support religious freedom, but
elected a man who seeks to impose religious doctrine
into governmental matters. These devout, pious
religious people embrace a profane, depraved, godless
infidel. They worship a cult leader and are clueless of
their own hypocrisy.
They say they promote
small government, but elected a micro-managing tyrant
who seeks to inflate government's role in people's
personal lives. They rail against cancel culture
only to elect a man who threatens the media, bans books,
and erases history.
They tout
morality while, at the same time, they emulate the
immorality of a despotic madman who takes bribes, abuses
power, obstructs justice, and breaks laws. They
uphold a man who is the opposite of all they proclaim as
sacred.

The
Right Wing is Dishonest and Hateful
Let's
be clear. The right wing (including republicans, conservatives, evangelicals)
can always be expected to be dishonest and hateful.
Any movement in our nation that seeks to grant justice, equality, and inclusion
to those who are different will be renamed and ridiculed as "politically
correct," "bleeding heart," "socialism," or "woke."
It happens all the time. The ring wing factions in our society oppose
open-mindedness, education, science, progress, and diversity. They have, at
every time period in history, sought to oppress, malign, and torture those who
are different, those who threaten their archaic, misogynist, bigoted, racist
mindset.

Trump is a Criminal and a Traitor
Donald Trump is easily the worst president in US history. Clearly, the most incompetent,
ignorant, immoral, and dishonest president.
His stupidity is staggering. His incompetence is devastating. His lying is
insidious. His cruelty is barbaric. His bragging is embarrassing. His ego is
laughable. His crimes against women and children and disgusting.... And your
support of him is pathetic.
He has lied to the American people, violated the rule of law, abused the power
of his position, obstructed justice, trampled citizens' rights, and ignored the
US Constitution. He has, on several occasions, colluded with foreign agents,
committed treason, and incited insurrection within his own country.
He has expressed disdain for the average American, especially the working poor,
middle class, and minority communities and actively sought to further oppress
and disenfranchise them. He has deliberately wrecked our economy, degraded our
government structure, and removed support and protection of the average
American, while heaping rewards, tax breaks, and subsidies on the wealthy.
He has advanced bigotry, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, sexism, and misogyny.
He has defended greed, corruption, immorality, violence, and criminal activity.
He has attacked and dismantled human rights in our country and promoted a
nationalist, authoritarian, fascist agenda.
He is the most
un-American of all US presidents.

Legacy of Lies and Corruption
"I would
love my legacy to be that I was a great president."
-Donald Trump
So sorry, Mr. Trump, that's not going to happen. No way in hell.
You were a great liar and a cheat. You were corrupt, dishonest, and
irresponsible. You were ignorant and incompetent. You broke laws, obstructed
justice, trampled rights, and ignored the constitution. You were a bully and
thug. You used your office for personal gain, you rewarded your rich friends,
and you accepted bribes.
You will never be regarded as a great president anywhere but in your head. Your
pitiful narcissism, your constant bragging, and your fragile ego will be long
remembered. You vilified innocent citizens, trashed honorable people, verbally
attacked your critics, and lied about those you were jealous of. Like the cheap
little insecure child you are, you put your name on everything. You cared only
about yourself and displayed vicious disdain and contempt for the American
people.
You will be remembered for your stupidity. As No other president was as
ignorant, misinformed, and illiterate as you. You exaggerated, you fabricated,
you mischaracterized. You ignored truth and facts.
You incited insurrection, you pardoned dangerous criminals, you covered up
crimes, you coveted the property of other countries. You brought back bigotry,
racism, sexism, misogyny, homophobia, and xenophobia. You were a rapist and
pedophile. You made a joke of justice, equality, inclusion, and diversity.
You destroyed the reputation and integrity of our nation abroad. You were an
international laughingstock. A global disgrace. You were an embarrassment to you
and your country.
And you did nothing to improve the lives of the American people.

Trump's Response to Criticism
Whether he is
berating members of the press for reporting the facts or ridiculing a celebrity
for expressing their opinion about the administration's atrocities, it is clear
President Trump is uncomfortable with negative feedback.
His thin skin and fragile
ego can't handle negative press, critical editorials, or even jokes. And
he lashes out in an attempt to restrict free speech.
Trump recently became enraged by
the comments of late night television host Jimmy Kimmel. He responded by
demanding that Kimmel be fired for the jokes he told at Trump's expense. It has
become typical that when he is confronted by remarks that he does not like,
Trump seeks the dismissal, removal, termination, or punishment of the speaker
who dared to exercise their right to free speech.
Anyone who
understands the requirements of leadership know that Trump's demands are
inappropriate, cowardly, infantile, undignified, unprofessional, and
embarrassing. Anyone who understand the Bill of Rights knows that Trump's
demands are also un-democratic and un-Constitutional.
It appears Trump may need to be reminded that he really is not a dictator and we
really do not live in an authoritarian state. and US citizens have the
right to free expression, especially with regard to our government leaders.

Party
of Lies and Corruption
Unfortunately,
our greatest fears about Trump and the republican party are in fact true. And it's very
sad. It's sad for decent, intelligent, patriotic republicans. And it's sad for
all Americans.
It would be nice to have two equally viable political parties in the US. It
would be the best of all possible worlds to have two legitimate parties with
differing, but healthy, points of view. America deserves to have two sides of
every debate, two opposing opinions, two different approaches.
But, alas, that situation no longer exists. The republican party no longer
represents a viable alternate perspective. They are no longer an equally
legitimate option. They have lost their credibility, their integrity, their
honor.
The republican party has no legitimate agenda that is supported by the
Constitution. It is the party of lies and corruption. It supports fascism,
treason, and lawlessness. It promotes inequality, injustice, and bigotry. It
tolerates abuse of power, conflicts of interest, unfair practices, and executive
privilege. It denounces diversity, equity, and inclusion and sides with white
supremacists, foreign dictators, and nazis. It dismisses science and research
and favors disinformation over facts. It worships its despotic leader at the
expense of their own sense of sanity, civility, morality, and rational thinking.
Worst of all, the republican party no longer cares about or even tries to serve
the average American citizen. They no longer support the working class, the
working poor, and the majority of Americans who are not wealthy. They overtly
express disdain, animosity, and contempt for the average citizen. They are not
focused on making Americans' lives better, but instead they are intent on
removing benefits, protections, and rights. They continue to pass laws that
oppress American citizens.
Do you remember the last time the republican party ever did anything to relieve
the struggle of working class Americans? Do you ever remember a time when the
republican party did anything to improve the quality of life of the working
class? Do you recall republicans ever doing anything to benefit anyone other
than the wealthy?
