I voted for Trump in 2016. I could give you my reasons. You probably wouldn’t believe me.
But as I watched him through his tenure I saw much that troubled me. A lot of I’m the greatest and little solid to back it.
Let’s get serious. Let’s take the lies the FBI and DOJ told the court to get the FISA warrant. It wasn’t just Trump that was the victim of it. The Inspector General looked into it and every single one of the FISA applications that they reviewed had similar lies and misinformation. Every single one. And it wasn’t just the Washington DC office, it was every single office.
So did Trump do the rational thing? Did he do the reasonable thing? Did he do the smart thing? No. Because anyone with a modicum of intelligence would have used that report to go to Congress and get the FISA system abolished. Anyone with a modicum of integrity would have held a press conference to explain the abuses the American Public was enduring.
Trump wanted that power, and he wanted to use it to get his enemies. He didn’t want to drain the swamp, he wanted to control it. So he didn’t do the rational, intelligent, or even reasonable thing. He didn’t act for us, he acted for himself.
I can give more examples if you like. I can include links. You will denounce the links, you will accuse me of TDS. But question, how can I have TDS responding to a thread about how awesome Trump would be for President because of his demonstrated and historical record? The Author of the article says that because Trump will continue doing what he did before, he’s a great choice.
Instead of highlighting the failures of the FBI, and the Cops across the nation, Trump wanted to encourage it. But for his purposes, not theirs.
So no, Trump is not a good choice for President. I didn’t vote in 2020. I’ve said the same thing constantly, I didn’t want to pretend that one steaming pile of shit was in some way superior to the other steaming pile of shit. I honestly don’t know if I’ll vote this year. But Trump would get me out to vote against him. His bullying bullshit is exactly what we don’t need in the White House, and I’ll take feeble incompetence over fascist fanatical idiocy.
