Breaking news! A recently convicted felon has just escaped prison! We have reason to believe he has fled to the White House.
Donald J. Trump is unfit to serve another term as president. He’s a criminal and a cheat who does what he pleases without consideration for anyone but himself, let alone the country he is supposed to be representing. He won’t support all American citizens.
Trump is a pathological liar. He was convicted of 34 felonies, most of which were related to hush money cover-ups of other terrible things he did, like fraud and sexual assault. The greatest leaders in our country’s history were honest and trustworthy. Trump is neither. If he has lied so many times, like when he said schools send children for gender-affirming surgeries without guardian consent, which is grossly incorrect. He will do this again and again.
If you don’t fit into a very specific demographic of Americans, you better get ready to kiss your safety goodbye. Trump made many claims saying he supports women during his last campaign, but his past actions prove otherwise. The Week created a list of sickening things he has said about women over the years. This list includes a variety of quotes that range from statements about how Kamala Harris is a monster and an incompetent woman, to comments about his own daughter being “voluptuous” and that “She does have a very nice figure … if [she] weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.” He’s also racked up an impressive list of sexual assault allegations from over 20 women. According to The Guardian, Trump has been on the prowl and has been a sexual predator since the 1980s.
If he really supported women, he wouldn’t have appointed SCOTUS judges who overturned Roe v Wade. He doesn’t care about women having access to safe healthcare in order to protect their bodily autonomy. Also, if he truly cared about the safety of women, He wouldn’t have physically attacked E. Jean Carroll when he, as she put it, “forcibly raped and groped her”.
The queer community is also going to face more challenges under Trump’s upcoming term. Them, an LGBTQ+ website, explained that the queer community faced multiple attacks during Trump’s first term, like when the Department of Health and Human Services wiped out medical protections for queer people and prohibited discrimination of queer people in healthcare settings that was once protected by Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act. Also, a policy was enacted under the Trump administration that kept trans people from serving in the military, even though it was repealed by Biden in 2021. Trump also openly expressed bitterness towards the Equality Act.
Trump plans on continuing this hate trend the second he steps back into office. The ACLU stated that Trump promised to reverse federal policies that banned discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Clearly, Trump doesn’t care about the safety or the rights of the queer community. He says he supports traditional families, which is funny considering he has five children with three different women.
Trump hasn’t even entered office yet and he has already made an impressive number of terrible decisions. His selections for his cabinet are a complete joke. Pete Hegseth is a Fox News host who has sexual assault allegations against him and was nominated for Secretary of Defense. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was accused of groping one of his former nannies and was selected to be Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy Jr. is also an anti-vaxxer, so I don’t anticipate him making smart decisions in regards to the public’s health. These are not the people we want to be in charge of our country. It seems that the only requirement to being selected to join Trump’s cabinet is to kiss the ground that he walks on.
The Republican Party is known for making the economy and inflation a top priority, according to the 2024 Republican Party Platform, but Trump can’t even get that right. While he has been gloating about his new tariff policy, economists have been sounding the alarm. NBC explained that foreign countries won’t be paying for these new tariffs; American consumers will. That doesn’t matter to him though, because no matter how many times he says he does, he has proved time and time again that he doesn’t care about the average American.
His life has always been far from average, considering he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He doesn’t understand average Americans, nor will he make an effort to try to.
In a time like this, it is critical to stay informed. Stand up for yourself, your family, and your friends by being skeptical of policies until you research them, and always take Trump’s word with a grain of salt. And, most importantly, stay guarded.
