Dear Editor,
In front of seats half-filled they instead of touting their accomplishments they pushed fear and the Red Scare calling those who aren’t Trump loyalists “radicals” and “crazies.” And if you chose to watch the NFL playoffs rather than the Trump-A-Palooza good for your Because all I can say is, good grief! Do Trump allies really want to get into a battle over who’s the weirdest and who’s a commie with all of Trump’s crazy unhinged late night tweets and bizarre AI juvenile delinquent slop or saying he’ll be a “dictator on day one,” and “sometimes the people just need a dictator,” and on and on. Attempting to control what we listen and watch the FCC is in bed with Trump threatening and muzzling comedians and commentators (read book “Mad as Hell” how 60 Minutes took on the powerful and now tame their stores in relationship to Trump). To now Trump says he’s “banning the free press”!
But you know what they say, “If you give him an inch he’ll take a mile.” Another blatant attack on the 1st Amendment. Any news outlets that ask tough questions and fact check aren’t allowed in Trump’s and his administration’s presence. Strong arming companies and organizations and private and public institutions into cough-up and shut-up paying millions to Trump while taking away their freedom of speech. Attempting to rewrite our history within one of our beloved American treasures the Smithsonian Institute. Whether it be history or the performing arts at the Kennedy Memorial Center Trump is shuttering doors to what has made our country a shining city on the hill for other countries to emulate.
This is what communism does so who are the real communists here? They suppress the people with false impressions say, “We’re here for the people” while the people get poorer and the well-connected get richer. Look at communist China and Xi Jinping’s family and their insiders, they’re millionaires if not billionaires.
It sounds all too familiar because that’s what’s happening here. And the alarm bells are sounding.
Trump let his Trump-A-Palooza audience in a repeat-after-me, with hands held in ‘allegiance’ to him.
No different than they did to the Germans in the’30s that led to WWII in the 40s. And not for nothing as if Trump had forgotten here in America, we pledge allegiance t our country not a president with a monarchy mentality what our forebears had fought and sacrificed to be rid of. As did Ben Franklin a colonist patriot, not a ‘loyalist/’ The founder of America’s postal service who’s gotta be rolling over in this grave Trump politicizing our U.S. Postal Service is an attempt to stop Americans from voting. Which is way, once again, on Oct. 17 the people gather together across our nation to remind Donald Trump, there are ‘No Kings” in America.
The people who watched saw through the Trump-A-Palooza spin on fantasies and false claims. Trump telling his audience it’s all a hoax, that our economy is doing great and that there’s a mass voting “cheating epidemic” so for them to go out and “cheat like hell!” And they shouted “Kill!”.
Seriously? And who’s the ‘radicals’ and ‘crazies’?
The point is this, Americans just want a fair shake with our economy and stop throwing others under the bus for everything gone wrong under the Trump administration. Trying to pass the buck on Ukraine and God knows the immigrants get blamed for everything! Including who he still called “sleepy Joe” when Trump can’t keep his own eyes open unless he’s doing all the talking about his vanity projects. Polls show over 70 percent of Americans don’t like it.
And are tired of the hate rhetoric and fear mongering and lying and cheating and scapegoating and saying one thing then doing another with one excuse after another and making those who are tired of it all out to being the bad guys.
Saying, “Americans will go to hell” if they don’t vote for Republicans is a bit of a stretch and desperate. Desperate because they have nothing else to run on other than Trump’s weird and crazy a-palooza.
J.M.
