#WhyImNotVotingForJoe
I've been watching videos about Bernie versus Biden, and there's no way to sugarcoat this:
You Bernie supporters are being hoodwinked.
You're LETTING YOURSELVES be hoodwinked in one specific way:

You're LETTING YOURSELVES be hoodwinked in one specific way:
You've let people convince you that Bernie is the "anti-establishment" candidate.
People, Bernie has been in Congress for 30 YEARS.
Like Biden, Bernie is the CONSUMMATE political insider.

Full disclosure:
I'm a fanatical supporter of @realDonaldTrump.
But I'm essentially apolitical. I wasn't even going to vote in 2016.
Trump EARNED my support.

Trump EARNED my support.
I didn't know anything about him before he announced his candidacy on June 16, 2015.
Since I didn't know anything about him, I didn't support or oppose him.
He wouldn't mind me saying that I didn't take him seriously.
And then something happened.

And then something happened.
I watched the first GOP debate.
Trump was strangely subdued.
And then in the SECOND debate, he began dismantling his opponents.
So I went back and watched the first debate, and I saw that Trump had used that debate to GAUGE everyone.

THAT made me excited.
So I began researching him, and the more I learned, the more impressed I became.
This profile from 1984 sealed the deal. https://www.nytimes.com/1984/04/08/magazine/the-expanding-empire-of-donald-trump.html

He said his lifestyle was "cute" but meaningless, and if he were allowed to negotiate deals with world leaders, he could bring about world peace.
THEN I started watching Trump's rallies, and I noticed something:
THEN I started watching Trump's rallies, and I noticed something:
He ALWAYS delivered his most important lines in an offhand way, usually shrugging and looking down and to the side.
Trump studies military strategists, and so do I.
EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES ENSURES VICTORY.

And here's most important thing Trump ever said:
"When I get to the White House, I won't be beholden to any special interest. The only people I'm beholden to are the American people. And if I fail, it'll be my fault."
"When I get to the White House, I won't be beholden to any special interest. The only people I'm beholden to are the American people. And if I fail, it'll be my fault."
Why has Trump cultivated his outsize public personality?
Because it HIDES WHAT HE'S DOING.
He tells the press TO ITS FACE what he's doing, and they ignore it.
"The leaks are real. The news is fake."
There's only one way to interpret that.

Trump people are leaking FAKE NEWS to the press.
Why would Trump do this?
Because as the press chases fake rabbits, Trump does things under the radar.
AND THE PRESS NEVER CATCHES ON.

You think Trump "botched" the response to COVID-19.
Nope.
By January 27, we were screening 90 percent of the people coming in from China. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-vice-president-pence-white-house-initiative-asian-americans-pacific-islanders-lunar-new-year-celebration/

Why did Trump tell us that everything was going to be okay?
BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS WRECKED.
We had no tests, not enough personal protection equipment, and not enough ventilators.
Trump prevented catastrophe on multiple fronts.

The press always lies.
"Mass burials in New York City!"
Yeah. Since 1869. As MSNBC reported in 2015.

THE PRESS WANTS YOU TO PANIC AND DIE.
Trump knew immediately that we were up against the worst threat in our history.
So he downplayed it while working feverishly behind the scenes.
AND IT NEVER LEAKED.

The threat WAS NOT the mortality rate.
The threat was the TREATMENT required for the infected.
There are 4 million ICU admissions per year in the US, with average mortality rate ranging from 8 to 19 percent or about 500,000 deaths annually.

Nobody knows how many Americans would've been infected in we hadn't closed businesses and schools and instituted social distancing.
The number of ICU admissions would've skyrocketed, and about of COVID-19 patients in ICUs die.
BUT.

Every single one of those people in the ICUs would've required that paramedics, firefighters, hospital staff, and coroner-department workers burn up all our personal protective gear.
Hospitals would've required the daily cleaning and/or replacement of EVERYTHING.

Our medical system would've collapsed.
And don't tell me about Sweden.
They had an acute shortage of doctors BEFORE COVID-19.

Trump understands that he's always painted as the villain.
THIS HAD FREED HIM TO ACCOMPLISH EVERYTHING.
The criticism is just background noise.
He was impeached, AND IT HAD NO IMPACT.

You want an anti-establishment outsider?
HE'S ALREADY PRESIDENT.
The problem is that ALL the people jabbering to you have no idea how anything works.
Take the recent "corporate bailout."
It wasn't a bailout. It was a loan, AND IT HAD TO BE DONE THIS WAY.

People think the government should've just paid the workers' wages.
The problem is that wages are only PART of a company's operating expenses.
In the service industry, wages can go as high as 80 percent of a company's operating expenses.

In the service industry, wages can go as high as 80 percent of a company's operating expenses.
Guess what?
If the government only pays for the wages, the company still has to come up with 20 percent of its operating expenses.
Since profit margins are so small, that means the company goes out of business.
It simply can't deal with a 20 percent shortfall.

Paying only the workers' wages would GUARANTEE that they lose their jobs.
Here's what I'm betting on:
An unprecedented rebound of the economy. And I put my money where my mouth is.
I'm a professional investor, and I stayed in the market.

I'm a professional investor, and I stayed in the market.
My net worth is down 50 percent.
BUT I'M NOT WORRIED.
I just listened to an investment guru talk about his success in saving his clients' money.
He told them to sell everything in late March.
THAT MEANS THEY LOCKED IN THEIR LOSSES.

And now, he's telling them to wait before getting back in.
He's trying to "time" the market, so that means his clients will MISS all the best days.
The reason I'm not nervous is that I KNOW TRUMP'S ABILITIES.
I researched him.

Trump's bankruptcies came because he's in volatile industries. It's a bloody miracle that he's been 99 percent successful in some of the riskiest industries on earth.
WE HAVE OUR OUTSIDER.
It's not Bernie. He's been part of the establishment for 30 years.

Trump transformed the Republican party to make it more responsive to the people.
THAT'S WHY THE ELITE HATES HIM.
He's abolished slave labor in the US. The Chamber of Commerce still wants a slave class. Trump is OUTRAGED by slavery.

When you sit down and really THINK, you'll see that Trump can't be categorized politically.
And that's why he has my support.
He beholden to nobody except you and me.
