An Alternative Republican Viewpoint

 

August 26, 2020

I call myself being open minded and made an effort to watch some of the Republican National Convention. I thought, just maybe, the grown-ups in the room would give viewers some cold hard facts as to why Americans should want Donald Trump re-elected as President. With every Republican speaker that came to the podium praising Trump for this or that, I found facts in opposition to their statements. I suppose this convention could and should've been called the Alternative Facts Republican Convention. It was full of shameful Falsehoods!

I was slightly impressed with the empathy shown in First Lady Melania Trump's speech. She performed her duty as First Lady well, standing behind her husband when he needs her most. However, as a wife she has shown about as much love for Trump as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, maybe even less. 

Melania has mostly exhibited a cold and irritable disposition when paired with Trump at public engagements. She's been seen avoiding his kisses, pushing his hand-holding requests aside and choosing to stand or walk away from him if possible. There was even a time when it seemed he asked her to smile and she gave a quick plastic flash of a grin before briskly returning to her frown. 

Actually, the book I'm willing to lay down a few bucks on is the one Melania writes. When she does it's sure to be a best seller. But enough about a marriage that seems anything but loveable. 

When I just couldn't bare to listen to any more Republican Alternative Facts, even though the Alt-F Queen herself (Kellyanne Conway) was to speak tonight, I decided to read what others thought about the convention. One comment I came across displayed a list depicting exactly who Donald Trump has been and continues to be in life. It actually reads like a This is Your Life Donald Trump memorandum.

So without further ado, I give you the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump:

The "son" who conspired to steal his fathers $500 million fortune. The “genius” who hid his college grades. The “patriot” who dodged the draft. And attacks dead Veterans and their widows. The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years. The “playboy” who pays for sex. The "investor" who borrowed $800 million from 70 American banks...and lost it all. The “christian” who doesn’t go to church. The "friend" who was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein for more than 15 years. The "smart man" who declared bankruptcy SIX times and never paid his debts. The "candidate" who ran for president twice (see Reform Party 2000- scandals there too). The "respectful" who is alleged to have assaulted multiple woman over many years. The "gambler" who allowed russian crime bosses to run illegal casinos out of Trump Tower. The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity. The "don" who launders money for russian mobsters.

The "lawful" who likes threatening his opposition with prison. The "bugged" who said repeatedly that he was spied on by the previous President. The "campaigner" who accepts help from foreign powers to win an election. The "taxpayer" who inflates the value of his assets for loans/deflates for taxes. The "best" who claims that he is the best thing to have ever happened to Puerto RIco (Nearly 3,000 people died as a result of the storm and after effects, including widespread water shortages and power outages that lasted months). The "contractor" who awards government contracts/jobs to supporters/donors (see Whitefish Energy/GSK Pharma/Trump Org, among many others). The "parent" who separates children from their families and cages them. The "boss" who hires only the best people then fires them. The “innocent man” who refuses to testify. The "builder" who wants a wall that already exists. The "leader" who said racists, sex offenders and murderers are good people. The "economist" who claims that the US economy is the best it's ever been. The "rigger" who has claimed repeatedly that the election will be rigged (also in 2016). The "compassionate" who deports dreamers and people fleeing persecution. The "honest man" who has told 18000+ LIES since being in office. The "chosen one" who claims god gifted him with a trade war/thousands lost jobs. The "unlimited" who claims article 2 allows him to do anything he wants. The "profiteer" who ignored the emolument clause/family runs the business. The "truthteller" who said that Covid 19 is a democrat HOAX/used word hoax 250 times so far this year (2020). The "faithful" who cheated on each of his three wives multiple times. The "peacemaker" who uses paramilitary against peaceful protesters. The "newsman" who claims that most news services are fake news. The "pious" who stands in front of a church while holding a bible as a prop. The "wise" who praises dictators/killers/gangsters as strong. The "unifier" who promotes fear and division rather than courage and inclusiveness. The "pardoner" who commutes/pardons associates who are convicted felons. The "commander in chief" who committed 10 obstructions of justice * *(see Mueller Report) The "Potus" who was impeached in his first term in office. The "magician" who said that Covid 19 would magically disappear. The "carer" who watched as over 180,000 AMERICANS DIED of Covid 19. The "medical expert" who advises injecting/ingesting/inhaling disinfectant. The "principled" who's own sister Maryanne Trump Barry said he had NONE. The "jobmaker" who watched 20 + MILLION people lose their jobs and did nothing. The "constitutionalist" who wants a third term in office. The "president" who has no plan to defeat Covid 19.
(Direct quotes- "I take no responsibility", "It is what it is.") Don't believe he has no plan? see worldometers.info/coronavirus/ And COMPARE countries. If you're a conservative, you should be ashamed of your president. I wouldn't trust Trump to run a hot dog stand, let alone a country.
