Reporter: President Trump, what do you think of this person in the news lately, Jesus Christ?

Trump: Total loser.

Reporter: But he has a huge following…

Trump: Of socialist who want everything free and want to radicalize this country. He surrounds himself with losers. Look, he started with twelve unemployed losers…

Reporter: Actually they were fishermen…

Trump: Not very good ones. Look, my crowds are much larger than his. . I have the biggest rallies in the history of the world. Bigger than Nuremberg. My crowds don’t come looking for hand-outs. Look, I have the bestest britiest people. Who does he got? Losers, slackers, anarchist, sick people, criminals. What’s he offering? Look, I’m putting people back to work. Work will set you free.
People are going to have great pride in America. I’m making America great. People say there is a problem with greed, but I’m making people rich and they are making more work for everyone. The stock market is doing better than anytime in the history of the world. People who disagree with that are un-American and traitors and will feel the full wrath of my people, our people, well my people. We are going to be the envy of the world.

Reporter: Aren’t those some of the Bible’s seven deadly sins?

Trump: That’s an ugly question. You’re an ugly person, and that’s an ugly question, but I’ll answer it anyway because I’m above that. But you’re an ugly person and that’s an ugly question. But the answer, not in my Bible. I’ve read my Bible and it’s not in there. Total fake news.

This president has lied non-stop, literally every day since his inauguration (remember, biggest crowd in history).He has even lied about lying. America is apparently okay with this. In fact, I’ve learned that pursuing my degree is a waste of my time and money. Either I’m already smarter than at least 49% of this nation, or everything they have taught me in the business college is wrong. Or both.

I devoted twenty-six years of my life, my health, in defense of this nation, only to watch one man’s reality show tear it down in less than four. What the Soviet Union couldn’t do in seventy years of Cold War, Trump has accomplished in less than three. He has achieved almost all the stated goals former Russian KGB officer Anatoliy Golitsyn outlined in his book New Lies For Old. We are now a nation divided against itself. The Trump administration has alienated our NATO allies and fractured the alliance. He openly embraces China, Russia, and North Korea. We’ve surrendered in the Middle East and Afghanistan turning it back over to the Taliban and to Russian back governments like Syria and Iran. We turned our back (again) on Arabs who supported us ensuring that we will never, ever be trusted by anyone in the region again. It would take several centuries of consistent policy in the region to convince any Arab state the US would honor its word.

That is another problem. We can not be trusted to keep our promises. This undermines a central tenet and requirement to forge international treaties, cooperation, and trust. Trust is the foundation for any cooperative effort and US foreign policy is now if it’s not beneficial for Trump then America can’t be counted on.

Never in my life would I have thought that an American president would have called for the use of the US military against its own citizens. Even more implausible to me would have been the lack of outcry against such a statement. Yet here we are. We have a president who has called for the use of military force against the nation’s citizens engaged in a lawful demonstration against a perceived wrong. The very acts which led to the founding of this great nation and Donald Trump wants to take on the role of King George and use the country’s military to stop it.

Where is the public outrage? Have this president’s actions over the past three years become so outrageous that we have become so desensitized to his outlandish behavior? After his impeachment, Mitch McConnel and Lindsey Graham both insisted that the president had learned a lesson. Indeed, the lesson he learned is that no one will challenge his unlawful and unconstitutional actions. Now he is seeking to undermine public confidence in the electoral process and openly stating that he doesn’t believe he should be limited to two-terms. The ridiculous claim that he deserves a “do over” for the first term because Obama spied on his campaign is ludicrous. How old is he, five? Besides the fact that he wasn’t spied on by the “Obama campaign,” namely because there was no Obama campaign since Obama wasn’t running; this also isn’t Chutes and ladders.

Most concerning is the use in Russian state media of the term “asset” to describe president Trump. Whether Trump may actually working for Putin or some other aspect of the Russian Intelligence apparatus, it’s clear that they at least consider him a Russian asset. And so far from his actions and statements (or lack thereof) there does seem to be some credible evidence of that.
