Why are people still so confused about Donald Trump losing? Somebody please explain this...
This is a man who consistently had some of the lowest approval ratings in presidential history and never even cracked 50 percent and tanked at 29 percent between Jan 8th, 2021 - Jan 12th, 2021, as he was leaving office. He bullied, threatened, mocked and demeaned his way across the political landscape. He openly cozied up to despots and thugs and alienated our allies, positioning himself as a laughingstock and buffoon on the world stage. Literally mocked by world leaders abroad, he set us back decades in public civility here at home with hate crimes skyrocketing to a 12-year high while he was in office. Where is the confusion?
He didn’t achieve anything big he said he was going to — infrastructure, a comprehensive medical plan, and even his coveted wall (which was part of his selling point). He broke laws left and right, got caught in countless lies that were easily refuted through video, and tried to turn the justice department into his own personal goon squad. He used the religious community to further his “career” as a huckster even though he’s never been religious a day in his life. His own sister openly laughed at the very thought of it. He denigrated members of the military and their families as saps and losers, telling John McCain he didn’t like POWs, only “winners,” and had no respect for them. He even mocked the disabled. In addition to bragging about moving on women like a bitch in heat, being a known cohort of Jeffery Epstein back in the day, and being accused or rape by more than one woman, he told shock jock Howard Stern he could refer to Ivanka as a piece of ass. Where is the confusion?
At the 11th hour he didn’t even have a plan for the GOP to sign off on in support of his next term — a first in modern history. Ultimately, they blindly fell in line and signed a blank check, giving him carte blanche to create whatever mayhem should the masses drink the Kool-Aid in sufficient quantity (he did, however, discuss his plans for 2021 to cut Social Security Disability Insurance and Supplemental Security Income, two programs that serve millions of Americans). He got into office with a 4.7% unemployment rate and was only able to lower it to 4% two years into his term (it didn’t budge in 2019) while simultaneously giving us one of the largest deficits in U.S. history. This is before admittedly lying to the public about the severity of COVID and allowed tens of thousands to die while downplaying the illness, the means to curb it, and his ineffectiveness in responding to it, which in turn aided in the severity of the ensuing economic tank. He was more concerned with ratings than the pandemic. Where is the confusion?
He alienated millions with his words and manner and lost the confidence of millions more. He robbed national parks of land and undid protections put in place for fragile eco systems. He lobbed paper towels at hurricane survivors and used Sharpies on weather maps just to assuage his own fragile ego. His promise to help industries that were foundering never came to fruition and started a trade war with China that hurt manufacturers and suppliers here. He even spent more time on the golf course than any other president in history and still refuses to let the American people see his tax returns how many years later? He claimed the 2016 elections were rigged until he won and then went mute on the subject. Manafort just admitted to collusion with the Russians. His so-called “landslide” against Clinton was exactly what he lost to Biden, only Hillary actually won the popular vote by millions and he didn’t even do that. Where is the confusion?
And even though nationally more people than not believe the outcome was fair, his die-hard followers want recounts conducted by unknown hacks with little to no oversight having access to voters’ private information. The Arizona GOP should be sued for this. They even suggested contacting voters, whether at home in person or by phone, to quiz them on their choices. Choices that are deeply personal and private. Where is the sanctity of voting now? If the tables were turned and it were democrats or independents suggesting house calls they’d scream at the top of their lungs about their freedoms and personal rights. To make matters worse, the voting machines they’ve corrupted will have to be replaced. Who’s paying for that, his supporters? Not bloody likely.
In essence, it boils down to the fact that more voters were — and still are — sick of him and all of the drama that came with him. Time and time again he put his bloated sense of self and his and his cronies’ best interests first, creating the slimiest of swamps in the process. Which reminds us that when it came to administration blemishes, his won hands down with the most indictments while still in office not to mention since. And these are just the tip of the iceberg. For God’s sake, somebody please tell me where is the confusion?
(Out of his league, he was in over his head, which was constantly demonstrated by his defensive posture.)
