Politics for Dummies: Bad Men Don't Make Good Presidents [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-10-27 How many Americans really think Trump is a good guy? Maybe twenty percent. That's the same percentage of Americans who believe the government uses Covid-19 vaccines to secretly microchip the public. Most Trump supporters know he's an asshole, but he's their asshole, damn it. Even so, they wouldn't want Trump as their son's soccer coach, and they sure as hell wouldn't want him as their daughter's soccer coach. The man palled around with Jeffry Epstein for years. He boasted to Howard Stern that as the owner of the Miss Teen USA beauty pageant he could ‘get away’ with walking into the dressing room to ‘inspect’ beautiful women. A jury found him liable for sexual abuse, for God's sake. This is not a good guy. Everyone knows Trump lies. He lies about everything. He even cheats at golf. And no, Mexico didn't pay for the wall. Trump isn't the only person who can save America from anything, no matter how big a braggart he may be. Most people who claim to be brilliant business men don't launch their careers with a 400 million dollar inheritance, then go on to declare bankruptcy six times. He's still stiffing cities all across the country for unpaid bills he racks up at his rallies. Trump was found guilty in court of fraud. His charity foundation was legally shut down for failing to be a charity. His university was shuttered for selling a false bill of goods to students and leaving them with nothing more than debt. Trump is, officially, a Bad Man. From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts. How many of us know anyone who's been involved in more than one or two? Trump is lewd. Trump is vulgar. Trump spews hate like an open faucet. He dodged the draft to avoid one war and mocks Americans who fought in others. And for this he thinks he should be Commander in Chief. Trump makes Secret Service agents who protect him stay in properties that he personally owns, and inflates the cost the government pays for their rooms. He hawks crypto currency, and sneakers, and watches, and bibles. Bibles with his own name on them. Trump never loved a pet in his life. He has zero sense of humor. Trump demands absolute loyalty from absolutely everyone, from common citizens who dare not protest his policies less the military be turned against them, to his Vice President who Trump disdainfully offered to a lynch mob when Pence wouldn't disregard the Constitution for him. Trump is only loyal to his ego and his appetites. Trump is a Bad Man. Bad men do bad things, that's what makes them bad. And bad men should never be given power over 350 million Americans.
