I'm tired of repeating what Donald Trump says. It's so pointless. I don't think he believes any of it, it's all for effect, just a re-election campaign ploy and a futile attempt to change how the history books characterize his abysmal reign of terror in the White House. His modus operandi is so transparent by now. Every lie he tells is carefully planned to distract us from the critical issues facing the country, in a desperate attempt to hide his personal failure as a leader and a human being. While he doesn't believe his own lies, he does harbor the futile belief that we won't find out till long after he's gone that he was the most inept person ever to occupy a desk in the oval office.
Latest case in point: His attempt to blame his administration's failures on Barack Obama. Anyone with a television set knows that 80,0000 Americans have now died from Covid-19. Yesterday alone, 985 deaths were recorded. So today Trump pretends the subject of the day is Barack Obama. And the senseless mediaactually reports on this.
One word in the dictionary (and its antonyms) is all you need to tell Donald Trump from Barack Obama and realize there is absolutely no reason to even discuss, let alone debate Trump's claim: Inanity [More...]
Donald Trump is a classic case of inanity (one who is inane.)
Vapid, pointless, shallowness, lack of substance, emptiness
How is this "ObamaGate" drivel even a topic of discussion, let alone trending on social media?
The media needs to stop paying attention to Donald Trump. Today. Every day he becomes more irrelevant.
Our country is burning and needs to turn its attention to survival. Donald Trump can't find his a** from his elbow let alone help America out of this jam. Neither can his equally obtuse son-in-law. The election (if we even have one)is months away. Thousands more Americans will die from this virus, its mutations and its second wave between now and then. You might be one of them. What good will your vote do you then?
Everyone needs to settle down and just ignore Donald Trump. Who cares if he wears a mask? If he gets sick, it's his own damn fault.
Put your efforts to where they can make a difference. Go after the Governors and members of the House and Senate who have let themselves get trounced by hungry corporations, rich investors seeing their portfolios tumble and small business owners who care more about their financial losses than they do our lives (even though they are lining their pockets with trillions in handouts and loans).
We know the buck won't ever stop with Donald Trump because he is devoid of morality and incapable of caring about anyone but himself. So we, meaning Americans with heads on their shoulders who actually pay attention to national and world affairs, need to be the buck-stoppers. An election pales in comparison to staying healthy and alive.
The people to take on are the people lolling around at he beach; the people who are so desperate to fly somewhere they let themselves be packed onto airplanes like sardines; the people who stand shoulder to shoulder without masks as they line up to eat at a greasy spoon (because it's more important to get out of the house on Mother's Day than it is that everyone else's mother in the community doesn't get sick and die from their community spread of the virus).
We all know these people don't care about freedom because the only people they want to be free are themselves. Look at them closely in the protest photos ... these people will never be free. They don't even know what freedom means. For reasons that started long before this virus, they are just marginalized lost souls searching for who knows what and coming up empty. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose... nothing, and that's all that Bobby left me".
The rest of us do have something to lose and it's a commmodity far more precious than money -- it's called life. Our own lives, the lives of our family members and friends, the lives of others in our communities, including those whom we have never met who are languishing on intubators in hospitals and those incarcerated and unprotected in our jails and prisons, and the lives of our fellow citizens of the world.
Feeling empathy and caring about our fellow human beings enough not to endanger their lives is the antithesis of selfishness. It's a quality that Donald Trump and many of his supporters lack. While it's probably too late for them, surely we can stop them from taking it away from the rest of us.
