Even if Trump had a good Character He still Would be a Disaster as President of the U.S.

Let's just supposed that Trump was just a good man. Owe nothing to outside bankers and never tells a lie, When he speaks instead of using fouled language against doctors, sicientist, political adversaries and all those people he hired to empty the slums in Washingto DC,

Even if that all was true which does not desribe Trump for a milisecond, he still will be a lousy president. Why? He is not a leader, he is not a man of ideas, he is not smart and when he fucks up he will never back down and say oops I think I missed that one, let me go over this...He is not that. he dosesnt know what he is doing but for Trump this is the biggest thing thst is ever happened to by some mistake of the universe which we all know it fucks up of a kind of a guy. He is a man like he likes to take credit for that he did not built but will blame someone else when it gets deconstructed. But he was a lender of things that did not have instringent value (his name) non stop. The dollar has a better running value than Trump's name. He likes to tear down and filling for bankrupcy was his theme. Let the goveremnt and his creditors pay for it.

I always wondered what ever happened to *Alexander Dept store right next to Macy*s on Herald Square. It just went out! I remember the first decent stereo system I bought

there at Alexander. Great prices. Well Trump bought it and he lost in one of his bankrupcies. I tried to find out what happned to it but no one had information because Trump had declared bankrupcy and the chain of stores particularly the one on Herald store ha gotten Puffed out, Imagine the real estate value of that store. It became part of the eliminaor of business'. 

Today is Election Day — though most of the votes have already been cast — and voters are facing one big question: Has Donald Trump earned re-election?

Much of the commentary and many of the stump speeches focus on Trump personally — his character, his corruption, his lies, his ugly rhetoric. More telling is what Trump has done — or not done — as president.

Here the failures are many, serious and utterly disqualifying. Trump’s campaign poster says, “Keep America Great Again,” as if he had succeeded in his first term to make it great. That assumption is reflected in his promise for his second term: more of the same. 

The Republican Party didn’t even bother to pass a platform at its national convention. When asked his plans, Trump simply says that he’ll keep doing what he’s been doing. He says he wouldn’t change a thing about how he has handled the pandemic. 

The United States has the worst COVID-19 per capita death toll in the world — effects made far worse by the catastrophic failure of leadership or management by the Trump administration. 

Large areas of the country have been savaged by extreme weather caused by the climate change that the president scorns as a hoax. We see record demonstrations across the country for justice and police reform, even as the president fans the flames of hate. This is not a record that deserves another term.  

One of Trump’s campaign slogans is “Promises made, promises kept,” but that too is a lie. He said he would “clean the swamp” in a Washington D.C. infested with private lobbies and special interests. Instead. he’s presided over a predator’s ball, weakening the civil service, and inviting the lobbyists to feast on a pay-to-play administration. 

He promised to end the endless wars — a promise I agreed with — but the wars go on despite his bluster. He promised a manufacturing revival, but America has lost jobs in this sector on his watch. 

He promised his tax cuts would benefit working people. But, in fact, the rich made out like bandits, and inequality — already extreme — has gotten much worse. He promised a long overdue infrastructure program and never produced it. He promised a health care plan that would be cheaper and better than Obamacare and never produced it. 

He inherited a growing economy and has left it in shambles. His mismanagement of the pandemic has been disastrous for working people and the economy. Mocking masks and social distancing, claiming that the virus would “magically” disappear, he not only cost lives, he helped crater the economy when his magical thinking proved wrong. 

Then he failed abjectly to get his fellow Republicans to do what is vital to sustain working families in the pandemic. He joined with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to sabotage the House rescue bill passed months ago that would have sustained unemployment aid to those whose jobs are shut down. 

Trump didn’t provide adequate aid to small businesses and schools to pay for the safety measures required to start up again during the pandemic. His administration never put forth clear rules about health and safety on the job that would protect essential workers.

Even more ominously, Trump is acting in ways that will undermine our future. The failure of common sense about the pandemic will cost thousands more lives and impede any economic recovery. His opposition to support for states and localities that are suffering a collapse in revenue, even as the pandemic causes soaring costs, will force the layoff of workers and cutback in services that will deepen the recession. 

His denial of climate change and systematic rollback of environmental protections condemns the next generation to a hellish struggle against the elements. His relentless efforts to discredit this election, and his party’s commitment to voter suppression, to impede even the counting of the votes, to curtail a complete census count are undermining the faith in our very democracy. 

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King taught that the arc of history is long but it bends toward justice. On the economy, on health, on climate, on race, on democracy, on inequality, Donald Trump is on the wrong side of history and heading backward. Former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris and the majority coalition that they are building are calling America forward. 

Trump says that he “takes no responsibility” and campaigns as if he had not been president over the past four years. On Tuesday, Americans can ensure that he isn’t for the next four years.
