“NEW YORK (AP) —Donald Trump became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes Thursday as a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.”
Trump paid for sex with porn actresses while married before the election. Then he paid them thousands of dollars to keep them quiet so he had a better chance to be elected. He then falsely claimed their hush money payments as a business expense to save on taxes.
If he is allowed to be the president we will be living in a kleptocracy controlled by a fascist criminal.
Please tell me how is it even legally possible that a known insurrectionist, a sex offender (per the E. Jean Carroll case) and a convicted criminal can become our president? No real Christian could support Trump. Trump is as much Christian as Hitler was Jewish.
Trump cheats on his wife, his taxes, his business debts, his golf game and everything else he does or thinks. Trump is a clear and present danger to our grandchildren, to our Constitution, the rule of law and the future of this country. Cancel the inauguration and keep him out of office, it would be completely illegitimate, and immoral and will destroy this country. He has even appointed corrupt and incompetent aids to complete America’s destruction.
It is said that the wheels of justice turn slowly in the US. They not only stopped turning in regards to Trump, they are going backwards and allowing theft of secret documents, criminality and lawlessness to control the country. Trump divided this country and it has become unjust and immoral, thus making our oath of office and our pledge of allegiance meaningless.
Trump is not a strong leader as many MAGA and Republicans believe. He is a very weak man who is ashamed of himself for his many flaws. Because of this, he acts like he knows more than others and is better than others and is more deserving than others. He is ashamed of himself because he knows he must lie and bluff his way out of his ignorance.
He knows he is a cheap crook and con man who files bankruptcy every chance he gets and refuses to pay contractors their invoices. He is angry that he defecates in his pants in public and smells awful. He has been caught cheating on his wife, in his businesses, in his golf game, in his governance and in his taxes. He is a simpleton who bullies others to make himself look tough. Unfortunately his personal problems, ignorance and repugnant personality transfers to his presidency and thus the future of the country.
Trump is the epitome of the term “enemy of the State.” Trump is so bad, he makes King George III look like Mr. Rogers. If you added up every misdeed or screw up of every president since the beginning of this country they would not add up to one week of misdeeds Trump has already committed.
In a campaign rally in Las Vegas he told his supporters, “I don’t care about you. I just want your vote. I don’t care.” And during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Trump expressed gratitude for the deadly disease because it meant he didn’t have to shake hands with his supporters because they were “disgusting people.”
Stephanie Grisham, Donald Trump’s former press secretary, excoriated the Republican presidential nominee saying: “He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth.” She said behind closed doors “I saw him when the cameras were off … Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers.”
Conservative commentator Dave Rubin said that Trump views his supporters as “morons” because “they’ll believe whatever he says” even if it contradicts the truth.
Rubin also said, “And no, that’s not me being mean to Trump, that’s Trump telling his supporters he thinks they are a bunch of morons and can feed them anything.”
Trump supporters must hate this country because they vote for and support an insane criminal named Donald Trump who believes his supporters are “morons”, “basement dwellers” and “disgusting people” and who says “I don’t care about you” to them. Howard Stern said Trump supporters are the people Trump “despised most”. Stern told listeners Trump would be “disgusted” by the people who vote for him.
Is Trump right about this issue that his supporters are “disgusting,” “despicable,” “basement dwellers” and “morons.” Perhaps this is true because they cannot tell the truth from lies, right from wrong or how evil and ignorant Trump really is? Trump said it in his own words, if you support him, he thinks you are a moron, disgusting, a basement dweller and he does not care for you.
Barb McNey says
Howard Stern, the person you laud as being a wonderful Trump Hater is no saint himself. “He began his afternoon show at WNBC on August 30, 1982, and was closely monitored, instructed to avoid discussions of a sexual or religious nature. In his first month, he was suspended for “Virgin Mary Kong”, a sketch about a video game where a group of men pursued the Virgin Mary around a singles bar in Jerusalem.” The station then hired an attorney to operate a seven-second delay if Stern said something potentially offensive. WOW WHAT A GUY! So much better than Trump! I would not believe a single word Stern says. Oh and by the way, Hitler may have had Jewish blood. “In 2010, the British paper The Daily Telegraph reported that a study had been conducted in which saliva samples were collected from 39 of Hitler’s known relatives to test their DNA origins and found, though inconclusively, that Hitler may have Jewish origins. The paper reported: A chromosome called Haplogroup E1b1b1 which showed up in [the Hitler] samples is rare in Western Europe and is most commonly found in the Berbers of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, as well as among Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews . E. Jean Carroll? She waits about 30 years, during a political era, to accuse Trump of raping her in a dressing room. No proof it ever happened and why did she go into the dressing room with him in the first place? She also accused a 2nd man of rape. Yes he did declare bankruptcy but so have a whole lot of corporations, airlines etc. It is the way of big business unfortunately and Trump is not the first to have it happen. He cheated on his wife? OMG he must be the first person to ever do that. Oh wait, Clinton did, Kennedy did, Roosevelt did….. but only Trump is hated. He is not the best communicator, nor an Angel, but times were better when he was President before (or have you forgotten that? No Hitler then!). And guess what, the people have spoken and he is our President now. I want America to have lower crime and more common sense again.

Rose Martinez says

Clair B says
Mark, sweetie – He won……get over it!
WMA says
Yes, he won. That just shows that millions of Americans are willing to vote for a shameless liar, serial adulterer and convicted felon.
Gomez says
Yup. They bought it, they own it.
Clair B says
Maybe WMA – but at least he knows what a woman is!
WMA says
That’s true. He sexually assaults enough of them.
Clair B says
Awwww WMA – POW! What a knock out – great come back – well done!
Bill Cavanaugh says
Yup, but not “Willing”…..Happy to do so. Look at the positives! He’s not even taken office and the Rats are scurrying off to hide. Biden Is handing out pardons like Halloween candy to his merry band of Treasonous fools, Pedo Pete up there running Canada just stepped down, and Blowhard Hollywood types are leaving the country. IT’s a beautiful thing.
helen sabin says
And millions like YOU will vote for a senile old corrupt man who is controlled by others? It seems you only listen to liberal news – they newsman and broaden your horizons.
Mark E Snider says
Hi Clair, Yes he won. In other countries like Russia and North Korea, those presidents won also. It does not mean they won fairly. It does not mean the citizens are better off with those dictators. Just because he won does not mean he is an honest or decent person. Would you let your teenage daughter spend the night at Mar A Lago with him? Would you trust doing business with him? You would be a fool to do so.
