Dude has been breaking all sorts of laws his entire life. Including during his first administration. His policies consistently hurt the majority of his constituents for the sole benefit of himself and his cronies. His behavior and rhetoric have made America even more of a laughing stock on the world stage and his campaign promises have near single handedly strengthened America’s “enemies” and pushed away our “friends.”

Trump did 3 good things in 4 years of office:

• Legalized Hemp
• Banned bump stocks (overturned by the judges he appointed)
• Expedited the covid vaccine production (botched everything else about the pandemic response including vaccine distribution)

Trump has flirted with a presidential run in 1988, 2000, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 under the Republican, Reform, and Democratic party tickets. It was only the republican party that he found bolstered enough support for him to win. He left the Reform party for the Democrats after involvement from David Duke. But later refused to disavow a direct endorsement from David Duke.

What does that tell you about Trump?

It tells me that he shops around looking out only for ways to bolster himself, his wealth, and his power. He doesn’t have a consistent moral and he doesn’t stand for America. He stands for Trump. His next administration is the wealthiest in history and his announced policies will siphon more money from the working class to him and his oligarchs.

He’s talked about invading our closest allies which has led directly to an increase in military recruitment not to fight our common enemies but to fight us directly.

He’s talked about blanket tariffs on all foreign goods. These tariffs will be paid by the American public. This will encourage American companies to raise the price of their own goods to: 1) recover the extra cost of imported materials, 2) close the price gap between their own goods and the now more expensive foreign goods. This will also encourage foreign governments to establish retaliatory tariffs on American exports which will also lead to American companies raising prices to make up for lost sales. This won’t just affect things like toys or electronics. American food is imported, lumber for home construction is imported, oil for gasoline is imported, electricity is imported. Literally everything in America will cost more if his tariffs go into effect.

I can afford that–can you?

Trump found a group of people that will blindly follow him and he manipulated and lied to them to convince them to give him power once again–even after getting our spies killed, leaking our nuclear and security secrets to our enemies, attempting a self coup to remain in power, and botching the plan to leave Afghanistan.

Trump supporters are not necessarily stupid people and I don’t think someone is necessarily stupid for supporting him, but they haven’t taken the time to look into and understand the effects of his claims, they were lied to, used, and led astray by a populist strongman who doesn’t care about them and who will actively work to better himself at their expense.
