Trump is a convicted criminal

by Mark Snider, Hamilton

“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.
