“I have a running war with the media, they are among the most dishonest human beings on Earth," President Donald Trump said in January, 2017. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/01/21/us/politics/trump-white-house-briefing-inauguration-crowd-size.html
Comedian Bill Maher claims President Trump demonstrates or shows nine out of the 10 traits warranting the behavior of a dictator. Bashing the news media is one of those 10 things.
Last year, 31-year-old Andy Hemming, a former Republican National Committee staffer provided Trump a folder filled with positive news about Trump twice a day. Hemming resigned from this job in August, 2017. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-staffer-positive-news-stories-resigns_us_599fbb58e4b0821444c25fad Being narcissistic is another one of the 10 things in the behavior of a dictator.
Trump rants about his accomplishments as much as he lies and makes false statements. Trump became the 45th president of the U.S. in 2016. He won the electoral vote that same year in Wisconsin. In June while giving a lame speech in cheese nation, he stated he was the last Republican candidate to win that state since former President and Republican Dwight Eisenhower won Wisconsin in 1952, yet another false claim by Trump. Richard Nixon, also a Republican candidate won Wisconsin in 1960, 1968 and 1972. Ronald Reagan, another Republican won Wisconsin in 1980 and 1984. Dwight Eisenhower not only won Wisconsin in 1952, but again in 1956. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/28/us/politics/fast-check-trump-wisconsin-republican-election-.html
President Trump also encourages or tolerates violence, another trait in a dictator.
"If you see somebody getting ready to throw a tomato, knock the crap out of them, would you? Seriously, OK? Just knock the hell ... I promise you I will pay for the legal fees. I promise, I promise," Trump said on Feb., 1, 2016 In Cedar Rapids, Iowa. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/back-trump-comments-perceived-encouraging-violence/story?id=48415766
We all speak sometimes without thinking, just look at my Facebook posts, but Trump is the president of the U.S. He should research and know his facts before tweeting and giving live speeches on national TV. From the time Trump became the president of the U.S., he has averaged six documented lies, false or misleading statements per day up until April, 13. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/real-or-fake-news-either-way-lewd-tape-allegations-pose-a-challenge-for-trump/2018/04/13/098cdedc-3f2b-11e8-8d53-eba0ed2371cc_story.html?utm_term=.776b9e29ac78
President Trump said the African country of Nambia has a great health care program. Trump said this at a United Nations luncheon with African leaders in September, 2017. Nambia does not exist. Trump did not even acknowledged his mistake when he spoke of the nonexistent African country last year. http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/trump-praises-health-care-system-non-existent-african-country
In January, while hosting Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg at the White House, Trump stated the U.S. had exported F-52 war planes to Scandinavia. Indeed the U.S. sent war planes to Scandinavia, but they were not the nonexistent F-52 fighter planes that only exist in a Call Of Duty video game. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-42651544
I'm convinced Trump is a puppet to higher powers and his endless stream of lies and lack of facts is scary as well as an embarrassment to our country.
On a positive note, the vast majority of Americans didn't want Trump as our president in the first place. In 2016, less then 60 percent of all eligible voters in America did not vote in the primary voting process, and less then 47 percent of the people who did vote, chose Trump. Nearly 3 million more Americans voted for Hilliary Clinton, but the electoral balderdash gave victory to Trump. https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/21/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-popular-vote-final-count/index.html
In November, Trump said the new tax reform is going to cost him a fortune and that the new tax bill is not good for him. The new tax reform only benefits the middle-class temporarily and is a permanent break for the wealthy, Bernie Sanders said. An NBC News analysis discovered Trump's new tax bill will save him $20 million based on his last publicly revealed tax return in 2005. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-s-biggest-whoppers-2017-n830746
“You all just got a lot richer,” Trump said to his rich friends last year after he signed the new tax reform bill. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2017/12/trump-celebrates-tax-bill-with-mar-a-lago-friends-you-all-just-got-a-lot-richer.html
Trump's childish mentality toward former President Barack Obama is completely insane. For whatever reasons, Trump wants to undo everything Obama enacted while he was our leader.
While in Moscow in 2013, Trump stayed in the same hotel room Barack and Michelle used while they were in Moscow. Word around the campfire claims Trump hired two prostitutes to urinate on the bed our former president and his wife Michelle had shared. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/putin-does-not-deny-pee-tape_us_5b4cc10ce4b022fdcc5bffb1 Russian President Vladimir Putin and his nation may have video footage of Trump watching the prostitutes pee on the hotel room bed, and perhaps are using it to manipulate and blackmail Trump.
Trump's decision to terminate the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals will uproot the lives of more than 800,000 young people. DACA, conceived in 2012 by former President Obama is another one of Trumps displays of heartlessness and Fascism, another trait in a dictator. KTVU Fox News today stated more than 550 parents are still separated from their children, many of whom are younger than 5-years-old. How is jailing non-white toddlers and kindergarten children not racist?
A June, 25 Huffington Post article by Angelina Chapin stated that children as young as 5-years-old will be be forced to plead their case without a lawyer to an immigration judge and explain why they should not be deported. Last year, only 33 percent of unaccompanied minors had lawyers to help them through the process, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/children-young-as-five-immigration-court-alone_us_5b319471e4b0b745f1772cf7
Repealing DACA will cost the federal government an estimated $60 billion over the next 10 years. Without DACA, many Mexican workers in their peak earning years would take jobs in the underground economy and pay little or not taxes. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/09/05/ending-daca-could-cost-economy-up-to-200-billion-cato-expert-says.html
Too many Americans fail to do the research and may think any immigrant can receive DACA benefits which indeed would be a bad thing. If any individual from outside the U.S. were able to receive DACA aide, far too many criminals would invade the U.S.
DACA has some very sound rules; Individuals are able to request DACA status if they were under the age of 31 on June 15, 2012, came to the U.S. before turning 16-years-old and continuously lived in the country since June 15, 2007. These individuals must also acquire a high school diploma or GED certification and not have a criminal record.
