When Trump sends you running for cover

Written by Jack Hassard

On May 7, 2020

It seems like everyday is a day when Trump sends you running for cover. It’s an affirmation of the danger that this man has brought to everyone. He hasn’t made America great again. He and his sycophants have marched to a drummer (Live and Let Die) eroding the principles of the American democracy. And in the age of COVID-19, his inactions have led to more people dying in the United States than any other country on earth. This is one example when Trump sends you running for cover.

One of the books published about the President was The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, by Bandy Lee, M.D. Lee’s book is a collaboration with 35 psychiatrists and mental health experts.

Dr. Lee and her colleagues have been in the forefront of warning society of the profound dangers of such an impaired individual in power. They have warned of the inevitable rise of violence, fear, and suffering that would follow. And Trump has proved them right. Trump has blood on his hands, and the threats continue to mount.

Lee, Bandy X.. The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump . St. Martin’s Press. Kindle Edition.

If you read this book, you will not only run for cover, you will be determined to make sure that the man is not re-elected in November.

Trump and his administration are a clear and present danger to all of us. Although there are only 258 days left in his administration, he continues to endanger us now by his lack of leadership and knowledge about the pandemic. He has totally been inept in leading the U.S. during this pandemic. He was late recognizing the pandemic, using this time to spread lies about the virus. Now, he wants to forget that the virus exists, and sacrifice American lives. He is only interested in himself and getting re-elected.

Here are some examples of actions, speeches, or lies when Trump makes you run for cover. These are only 12 examples of what makes Trump so dangerous to our society. Just a couple of days ago, Professor David Markowitz had an article published in Forbes, Trump Is Lying More Than Ever: Just Look At The Data. This year, he averaged 23.3 lies per day, slightly more than he lied in 2019. The links will take you to articles I have found on the Web that I think will provide you with further insights about Trump.

Summary

I haven’t run for cover. Instead I’ve been active writing about the Trump administration, and how it has endangered all of us. Trump will launch a nasty re-election campaign that will be full of lies and exaggerations. We need to fight back, and make sure we don’t re-elect him.

Examining Trump’s Authoritarian Strategies in 2020: His Attempted Coup

I wrote this post in on December 10, 2020 from my home office. From here, I can see wetlands formed from Mud Creek. Mud Creek is a small stream about 100 meters from my backyard. It runs for a few miles until it merges with Noses Creek. Eventually, it meets with Sweetwater Creek, a tributary of the Chattahoochee River, Georgia’s largest river.

I have been writing from this office since 1993. I will share more in the future as The Mud Creek Chronicles.

Visiting the past can help us navigate the future. This is especially true now. We have a wannabe dictator and a known authoritarian. They prefer meeting with leaders of authoritarian nations rather than democratic leaders.

Donald Trump and his sycophants were trying to steal the 2020 election. I wrote this nearly a month before he incited thousands to attack the United States Capitol Building. It was obvious. Or it should have been obvious. Autocrat Trump was showing the world that he was determined to stay in office, no matter what.
What did we learn from this attempted coup?

Another Existential Threat: Donald J. Trump

Another Existential Threat: Donald J. Trump

Donald Trump is now the president-elect and brings upon us another existential threat. In my book, The Trump Files, I concluded that Trump poses a significant risk. This is a conclusion I made if he were ever elected again as President. His election created an existential threat.

101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We are Not.

101 Years Ago, Germany Sought A Dictator: I Hope We Are Not. Germany had suffered the trauma of defeat in World War I. Significantly, there were plots to bring down German democracy. Donald Trump thinks he’s a “strongman.” He certainly utters some of the words used by dictators and strongmen. But Trump is not A strongman. He desperately wants to be. He is weak and old. Trump may be a weak strongman, but he is a dangerous wanna-be dictator. If he were elected, he would surely undermine and attempt to dismantle democratic guard rails. He’s a convicted felon and shouldn’t be president
