Moldy Garbage!

With Donald Trump it is not garbage in garbage out; it is instead moldy garbage intentionally dug up, pulled out of trash cans, thrown with panache and plopped higher and deeper in mounds of festering deception. Everyone with eyes can see it, everyone with a nose can smell it, everyone with a functional brain can tell you it is garbage or worse; yet there are still millions of people who deny it, try to excuse it, or even embrace it. In this regard the tawdry huckster, Trump, is an uncivil cultural phenomenon in the vein of shock jocks and Howard Stern (who Trump admires). Trump is also a fascist style demagogue who taps into the paranoia and anger of unsettled people for whom the American dream has always been illusory and the American past has always been highly romanticized drivel.

The only people who benefit from what Trump is doing are the drama casters, and even the drama casters are embarrassed by the abundance of Trump's absurdly offensive statements, his incessant use of Trumped up accusations, and the outright lies he so shamelessly spews in volumes that leave no time for analysis or a detailed reporting of them. What Trump is displaying is a shameful disregard for the truth and a disdainful dismissal of the decency and decorum of political discourse. Insulting a grieving, gold star family and mocking a disabled reporter are only two examples of how low Trump is willing to slither.

Trying to teach Trump history is like trying to teach your dog calculus. He Cannot even remember his own history. Donald Trump was for W. Bush's war in Iraq until it became expedient to opposed it. But then this brings up that Bush thing. No Republican wants to bring up George W. Bush. It was Obama and Hillary Clinton who “Founded Isis", don't you know? And you silly asses thought Isis was an offshoot of Al-Qaeda which was not in Iraq until after we invaded that country and Bush replaced its government and military with a weak Shiite government that depended on Shiite militia's. It was also George W. Bush who crashed the economy, and it was a Republican Congress that obstructed the economic recovery.  So a big Bush who to you too!

One of the worst traits any President can have is the lack of an intellectual curiosity, and Trump lacks the curiosity to learn what he needs to know. We see this in the field of economics when he actually advocated making the world write off a large portion of our national debt. He apparently lacked the curiosity to find out what this would do to the currency markets and stock markets around the world. Ah, but do not worry. The other Republicans have him on track now. Like all Republicans he is happily perpetuating the longest running fraud in American history.  Reagan euphemistically called this fraud “supply side economics” but it is the same trickle down theory that enriched the rich at the expense of ninety percent of the people until it failed in 1929 was revived by Ronald Reagan and then failed again in 2008.

Voting for Trump means casting aside all logic and judgment. In Trump world it is fair to accuse Obama of being a Kenyon and Hillary Clinton of corruption. It is up to Obama to prove he is an American, and it is up to Hillary Clinton to prove that her missing emails do not show she is corrupt. I think we should apply that standard to Mr. Trump. Hey, Donald, Leona Helmsley, Trump what are you afraid of? We are not buying the being audited excuse. Richard Nixon produced his tax returns when he was being audited, and Warren Buffet has offered to produce his tax returns while being audited if you will produce yours. So what are you hiding? Will your tax returns reveal that only the little people pay taxes? Will your returns reveal that you cheated on your taxes? Will your returns reveal that your praise of Vladimir Putin is the result of your close and shady economic ties to Russia? I think it is all of those things plus the fact that you are not as wealthy as you claim. So following your own illogic, produce your returns and prove me wrong!
