It is Tuesday evening and America is being smothered under a toxic fog of lies, conspiracy theories, false accusations, demagoguery and crackpottery. These things are true. USA is the epicenter of Covid 19 and has the most deaths and among the worst per capita testing rates.
Trump repeatedly praised the Chinese and their response to Covid-19. He did it over and over again. He told the American people this was all a Democratic hoax. He said it would disappear. He has mishandled this crisis at an epic level. His incompetence is supernatural. (2)
He advised people to inject Lysol which prompted advisements from the company not to do it. There is no such thing as Obamagate. It is an absurdity. It is a lie. The despicable man who rose on the racist birther conspiracy is the most corrupt President in American history (3)
Ethics, honor, decency, goodness and selflessness are alien concepts to Trump. He brims with the worst human qualities. He is everything a parent hopes their child will never be. Barack Obama’s Presidency did not result in a single criminal indictment over eight years. (4)
He served with honor, decency integrity and competence. He left his successor with a pandemic plan. He made America stronger over his tenure. Trump’s numbers are tanking. Here comes the Lugenkrieg ( lying war) Trump will wage an all out war on reality and truth in the (5)
Months ahead. He will attack the press in fits of distemper and illiberalism. He will make up smears against Joe Biden and his family. He will enlist the aid of hostile foreign powers and echo their propaganda and disinformation campaigns which are designed to divide (6)
The American people, weaken our standing in the world and erode faith in democracy because he thinks it will benefit him. He will attack Secretary Clinton and President Obama with lies, slander and smears. He will be supported in all of this by an echo chamber of dishonest (7)
Propagandists who have become a network of Baghdad Bob’s for whom no lie, no absurdity no anything is too much in service of their leader. Trump will do these things because he knows the walls are closing in. He is beginning to panic. He is America’s greatest failure.
