If there’s one thing most Americans can agree on, it is this: President Donald Trump is a pathological liar. There’s not a day that goes by without Trump uttering multiple lies. MAGA supporters dismiss his lying, saying, “Oh, that’s just Trump being Trump.” Maybe, but his lies can and do cause material harm to the United States and its people. I am at a loss to understand why millions of Americans still support Pinocchio. He’s lied so many times that his nose extends into outer space. Sure, all politicians lie, but Trump is in a class all his own. On this, Donald, you are, indeed, #1.
What, exactly, has Trump done for the working class and poor people? Not much. He has, in every way, made their lives harder. Trump says gas prices are down to $1.99, yet most of us are paying at least $3 a gallon. Supposedly, groceries cost less thanks to Trump, yet most of us are paying substantially more to put food on the table. My partner and I recently ate dinner at a local Mexican restaurant. Entrée prices are up $2 each. Everywhere I look, I see increasing costs. I put the blame for increased prices solely on President Trump and his enablers in Congress.
Worse, Trump is neck deep in the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Trump denies ever being on Epstein’s island. Does anyone believe him? I know I don’t. Trump’s behavior suggests he has a “thing” for young, perhaps underage, women. He and Epstein were best buds at one time. Trump says that he broke with Epstein because he was poaching his employees — mainly young, attractive women. This is Trump’s red line, and not the fact that Epstein was a pedophile, a sexual predator.
Recently, MAGA politicians have suggested that Trump’s visage be carved on Mount Rushmore. He is — just ask the humble man — the best president in the history. This, of course, is another lie. Historians years from now will likely conclude that Trump was a lot more like Herbert Hoover than Abraham Lincoln or George Washington. He is one of the worst presidents to ever sit in the Oval Office. I can’t think of anything Trump has done to merit him being added to Mount Rushmore. The same goes for naming buildings, roads, waterways, and airports after Trump or giving him the Nobel Peace Prize. I thought Trump thinks the United States should be a meritocracy. If so, what has he done to merit having his face forever chiseled into stone on Mount Rushmore?
The only place I want to see Trump’s face is on urinal cakes. Take aim, men, and let’s show Trump what we really think of him.
