When Trump sends you running for cover

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.

The American Authoritarian Mindset: Understanding Our Nation’s Path to Oppression

Authoritarianism is a mindset that is characterized by a strong belief in the power of authority and a tendency to support the status quo. This mindset is often seen in the United States, where it is deeply rooted in the nation’s history and culture. It is a mindset that has been used to justify oppressive policies and practices, and it has been linked to a range of social and political issues.

Is Donald Trump a Tyrant?

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.

You think this is a witch hunt, Mr. President? That’s an insult to the women who suffered

You think this is a witch hunt, Mr. President? That’s an insult to the women who suffered

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.
