It disturbs me to no end to see people make a pact with the devil in exchange for a robust 401K that is doing well. To support a man who is a bully, a bigot and a pathological liar.
- A man whose Zero Tolerance Policy separated children from their families and put them in cages. Then deported their parents without due process. A human rights violation never before perpetrated by an American president.
- A man whose Muslim travel ban (Saudi Arabia was not included in the ban) caused unbelievable chaos at airports and resulted in denying people with valid green cards reentry to the U.S.
- A man who wants to do away with birthright citizenship and chain migration. Chain migration is the right of immediate family members to emigrate to the U.S. following an adult child who has been granted permanent residence. FYI, this is how Melania’s parents got into the country.
- A man who rejected the conclusion of every U.S. intelligence agency that Russia meddled in the 2016 election; then, at a meeting with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki, accepted Putin’s denial and said he doesn’t see why it “would be (Russia).” FYI, Putin is old school KGB and is laughing his ass off over Trump’s ignorance.
- A man who asked the newly elected president of The Ukraine to “do us a favor ” to look into a thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that The Ukraine was actually the country that meddled in the 2016 election to get Hilary Clinton elected and that then Vice President Biden did something illegal.
- A man who pulled U.S. troops out of Syria leaving our faithful allies, the Kurds, vulnerable to a murderous attack from the Turks. The blood of the Kurds who died in this needless and unnecessary foreign policy blunder is on the hands of the president.
- A man who is pulling the U.S. out of the JPCOA aka Iran nuke deal against the consensus of the other nation signatories, France, Germany, the U.K. China and Russia. The JPCOA was working despite Trump’s and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s lies saying otherwise. Iran has announced that it will no longer abide by the restrictions of the JPCOA and will resume uranium enrichment above the levels of the deal. Way to go, Donald.
- A man who, ignoring the risk of violent consequences and escalation of hostilities, ordered the assassination of Qassem Soleimani with little to no evidence that he was planning an imminent attack on U.S. assets. Then lying about any evidence of it or that there were NO U.S. casualties from an Iranian missile reprisal attack. Even Bush and Obama declined any opportunity to take him down on the fact that the risk for retaliation was too high. Bush had an excellent opportunity in 2007. While one cannot lay the blame directly on Trump, due to heightened tensions in the region Iran’s military accidentally shot down Ukraine International Airlines flight 762 killing all 176 people on board. This never would have happened if Soleimani was not assassinated.
- A man who kicked the U.S. media out of the Oval Office and then gave away state secrets to two Russian diplomats.
- A man who shut down the government for a record 35 days over funding for a ridiculous border wall that Mexico was going to pay for and is now attempting to “steal” money from the military. Money, some of which was designated to the construction of schools for military dependents.
- A man who gave away classified information to the President of the Philippines in the form of the imminent deployment of two nuclear submarines to the coast of the Korean Peninsula.
- A man who appointed his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a Baltimore slum lord with NO experience in foreign policy whatsoever. to negotiate peace in the Middle East. This is a joke! Kushner’s business interests in Saudi Arabia represents a conflict of interest.
- A man who kicked the Palestinian envoys out of Washington, endorsed Israel’s violation of international law by recognizing Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights as legitimate and moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. The consequence of these blunders is to effectively render any two-state peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians unattainable even for the likes of Jared Kushner. The Palestinians have made it known that they will not sit at any negotiating table with any Americans.
- A man who taunted North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a ruthless dictator who had two of his relatives executed and is subjecting his people to near starvation, to the brink of war. Then holding an historical first-time summit with Un which accomplished practically nothing. Then walked out of a second summit when he realized that Un wasn’t going to kiss his ass. So much for their love affair. FYI, North Korea has resumed testing of medium range missiles.
- A man who claimed climate change is a Chinese hoax and announced the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord thereby abdicating our country’s leadership in developing alternative energy sources (more U.S. jobs).
- A man whose climate change denial is directing the Environmental Protection Agency to gut any clean air and water regulations enacted by the Obama administration. The effect of which will do near irreparable damage to the environment.
- A man who promised to repeal the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare on his first day in office with no plan of any kind to replace it. It never happened. Then continually lies when he says he will protect people with pre-existing conditions. Why is he lying? Because the Federal Government is doing nothing to defend the ACA in Texas v. Azar. A lower circuit court has already ruled the ACA is unconstitutional. If this decision stands, an estimated 20 million people with pre-existing conditions will lose health care.
- A man who pardoned three war criminals and intervened in established military justice.
- A man who said some neo-Nazis and white supremacists are “very fine people.”
- A man who told four U.S. Congresswomen of color to go back to where they came from; three of whom are natural born U.S. citizens.
- A man who mocked a 16 y/o Swedish girl who has the balls to challenge world leaders to get off their asses and do something about global warming.
- A man who mocked a New York Times reporter with a genetic disability.
So, is it worth it?
Or is your 401K worth more than your humanity.
