First Lady Melania Trump delivered a speech supporting her husband’s re-election from the Rose Garden at the White House. It was a very well prepared speech that was non-confrontational. The speech was meant to sooth concerns about her husband and to that extent it was a success.
She offered sympathies for those hit hardest from the COVID-19 pandemic, briefly stressed the need for unity amid racial conflict, the need to remove the stigma around drug addiction.
“…honesty is what we as citizens deserve from our president. Whether you like it or not, you always know what he’s thinking, and that is because he’s an authentic person who loves this country and its people and wants to continue to make it better.”
What? Better for who?
Donald Trump has been a continuous liar.
-
- He has told us that Covid 19 will magically disappear.
-
- He has promoted Hydroxychloroquine as a cure for the virus.
-
- He renegotiated NAFTA with another agreement with a new USMCA that is no more than an update of NAFTA.
-
- He has worked diligently to destroy the Affordable Care Act with a non-existent replacement.
-
- He has made the countries that were are friends into enemies.
-
- He has treated immigrants as unwanted parasites.
-
- He has conducted a war against everyone who is not a WASP.
-
- He has tried to reverse California’s regulations on car emissions.
-
- He has claimed to have absolute power over everything in the government base upon the constitution’s Article 2.
-
- He is now talking about a third and fourth term in office even though the constitution limits him to two terms.
-
- And these actions are just the tip of the iceberg.
Former President Barack Obama was correct when he said at the DNC
“So I am also asking you to believe in your own ability — to embrace your own responsibility as citizens — to make sure that the basic tenets of our democracy endure.
Because that’s what at stake right now. Our democracy.
“This administration has shown it will tear our democracy down if that’s what it takes to win.”
