Trump, The Chump, who should be dumped.

By Effey

Trump, The Chump, who should be dumped, shows absolutely no sign of understanding foreign policy.  For example: when he talks about Iraq he keeps saying we should have taken the oil, before we left Iraq.  He does not seem to either remember how many American lives we lost in Iraq or how many more American lives it would have cost the United States to take the oil.  Is he completely off his rocker?!
He may be 70 years old, but he talks like a 3 year old.
As Tim Kaine, the democratic candidate for Vice-President has recently said, "Donald Trump is a one man wrecking crew."  And that is not a compliment!!!
Trump's attitude to women is that of a 7 year old.  No sign of sensitivity when it comes to others except when somebody says something derogatory about him.  Then he cries like a baby that those people weren't "nice" to him.
Some time ago, I wrote a blog, entitled "People who live in glass houses…"  This phrase did not originate with me.  It was written by Geoffrey Chaucer for his play "Troilus and Criseyde" in 1385,  In other words "don't be a hypocrite, you will pay dearly for such an act of violent behavior.  Now the stones are being hurled back at him and the barrage of stones are hurting him. 
I recently saw our current President Barack Obama having a town hall meeting with veterans.  I simply love hearing this man speak because he thinks about what he will say before he blurts out his thoughts.  And when he speaks he is sensitive to the issue being discussed.
Donald Trump constantly reminds me of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler.  He says things which the people want to hear and he is constantly willing to abrogate agreements others made because he thinks he knows better.  Guess what!  Both of them, both Mussolini and Hitler, kept their promises.  They did what they had promised their masses they would do.  And the masses loved what they did, but then the masses had to pay the price for their adulation of these two leaders.  Millions of soldiers died in battle, and their countries were decimated by their enemies.  Mussolini realized what damage he had caused to his country and his fellow Italians.  So, he tried to escape to Switzerland but on the way he got caught by Italian partisans and was hung upside down from the roof of a gas station. 
Hitler also refused to listen to the advice of his generals and he wound up committing suicide in the Humboldt Bunker in Berlin.  When the Russians entered Berlin and found his dead body they immolated it with fire so there would be no trace left of him.
And look what happened to Muamar Gjaddafi of Libya not so long ago!  When his time of reckoning came the mobs beat him to death, even though he cried like a baby pleading for mercy. It was a horror show to watch.  When he was finally dead they buried him in an unknown place so nobody would be able to find his grave.
I am not claiming that the same fate will happen to Trump should he become our president (which I seriously doubt will ever happen).  But we, the people, will pay a high price for his actions.  It took America almost close to 400 years to recognize that African Americans are human beings, not chattel.  It took us a century to legislate that the African Americans have the same God give unalienable rights that Whites have.  When they bleed they hurt the same as others do. 
It took women almost a century to be given the same rights which men are given by the Constitution.  But no!  Donald Trump wants to go back in time and erase decades of progress.
Wake up America!  We need to move forward not backward.  The problems we have in America are in large part due to the Republicans who want time to stand still and care more about the very rich than the middle class.  Time doesn't stand still, it moves on.  If you stand still, you will be behind.  And we have lost in the last two decades largely, but not only, because of the Republican Party and their refusal to work with President Obama.  Instead they undermined all his attempts to make changes and policies to help the middle class and to make America better.  But instead they stifled him.  (As an example, just recently Congress overrode the President's veto for American citizens to sue Saudi Arabia).  So now the people who elected the Republicans are paying the price for their choices.  To elect Donald Trump will only add fuel to the fire which is already raging!

Stay tuned.

Red Beans and ricely yours,

P.S.  Pass this blog on to a friend.  This election will decide the future of this country for decades to come.  We need an experienced friend of the people in the White House, not Donald Trump who has stiffed hundreds, if not thousands of people and who will in the end hurt us more than he will help.
