Touting Trump's Lies

PRESIDENT TRUMP, who has been campaigning for reelection since inauguration day, touts a strong economy and a stronger, safer America among his many alleged achievements. None of them are real. nearly everything Trump says is a lie. Trump inherited essentially the same economy we have now, an economy in which the wealthy do quite well and the other ninety nine percent not so good. When nearly a quarter of a country's population languishes in poverty or near poverty, the economy is not good.The American economy has never been good, except for a thirty year period between 1945 and 1975, when the wealthy were taxed and the workers were paid, reasonably. An cursory examination of the facts quickly reveals that for most Americans, the economy is not good. Good on Wall Street, but not on Main Street, as they say. To gain a grasp of Trump's lies, simply type in the term "Trump's lies", and you're off to the races, with several reliable websites listing time, date, and lie, neatly in order, with corrections on teh opposite side of the page. There are now more than sixteen thousand, since inauguration day. About the president's lies, vicious slander of people who oppose him, crassness, and boorishness, you will hear from his supporters not a peep, which only serves to expose their dishonesty, and lack of integrity. Nearly one half of the republican caucus in the United States Senate now grudgingly acknowledges that the Democrats proved their point, and that the president did indeed "do something wrong", "behave inappropriately", as they put it. And yet, they declare him innocent. we are confronted with a new public more' in which it is permissible for a president of the United States to blackmail another country for damaging information on political opponents, because as Trump's defense team explained, when a president believes that his reelection is in the best interests of the country, he is acting in the country's best interests, and is therefor guilty of no wrongdoing. Tragically, this sick and disgusting rationale for criminal activity will mollify Trump's sycophantic cultish supporters, who will in turn use it to attack Trump's opponents for basing their opposition to him on purely political grounds. Each day Trump and his supporters are more remindful of Hitler and his NAZI gangsters, for whom no lie was too ludicrous in the defense and support of their gang leader, and each day, as the Democrats struggle to produce an electable candidate, it becomes more apparent that Trump's chances of reelection are fairly high. lord help us all.
