I have never liked Trump. I have never trusted the man. He is boorish, boastful, thin skinned, obviously a pathological liar (by that I mean he believes what he says even when he knows it’s a lie.)
There are two aspects of his political leadership that have troubled me immensely.
First is his backward understanding of economic principles. The game he’s playing of “America vs the world” by unilaterally imposing tariffs on friends and enemies alike is very troubling. He is playing with a potential powder keg and doesn’t seem to know it. He is gambling our country’s economic survival in a stupid game of chicken. He could lead this country into a depression like we have never had before. And it is all unnecessary. In my opinion the man is an economic idiot (there, I said it!).
Secondly, and far more important is his burgeoning belligerence on the foreign policy front. He campaigned as the military moderate, but immediately flip-flopped once he assumed office. His record of killing innocent civilians via drone strikes should have him publicly labeled as a mass murderer. The final straw for me was when he assigned John Bolton to be his chief foreign affairs advisor. Bolton can only be described as a homicidal maniac. Trump betrayed our trust in him with that appointment. It has taken my dislike/disgust in him to a level of dispicable. I want him out of office ASAP. Under Bolton’s guidance we may get involved in a nuclear war. At the very least we are certain to see the continuation of our never ending wars across the globe. How many lives and how much treasure will we expend before this tragedy comes to an end?
Now you know why I title my threads about the man the way I do.
