I thought I would revisit a blog post I wrote in August 2019 when Donald Trump was in the White House. The post was rewritten for my book, The Trump Files. Donald Trump is one of a host of strongmen identified in Ruth Ben-Ghiat’s book. Trump is a dangerous authoritarian who feeds his cult and their narcissism.
It borders on the ludicrous to hear the US President, touted as the most powerful man in the world, complain of being persecuted like a witch. The deaths of those convicted of witchcraft should not be demeaned and belittled.
The media in the United States has had a long, malignant affair with Donald Trump. CNN televised all of his rallies during the 2016 presidential campaign. It’s time for the media to wake up and realize that reporting about the next election should focus on real stories that inform the truth, not entertain us.
Donald Trump claims he is the target of a federal investigation of the January 6th insurrection. In this post, I speculate on one of the charges, and how, if he’s found guilty, he won’t be able to hold elected office in the U.S.
On December 19, the January 6th (J6) House Select Committee outlined Trump’s infamies. Using video and information from the Committee’s executive summary, a full account is reported here.
Will Trump be indicted after the midterms? That is a question raised by Chris Walker in a Truthout article. Walker is a news writer at Truthout. He focuses on local (Madison, WI) and national issues and has written thousands of articles. His article caught my eye.
