Trump's Dump on Democracy

Another Trump toxic ego massage given by self.  

Update 6-11-22:  Ex-President Donald Trump dissed daughter Ivanka after she told the January 6th House committee that she accepted Attorney General Bill Barr's conclusion that election fraud was minimal and insufficient to change the outcome of the election.  Trump's twisted ego steamrolls family members telling the truth under oath.  

Trump's social media site is banning posts about Jan. 6th hearings.  Dictator rules.

Update 6-15-22:  A staffer for Vice President Mike Pence said Trump is the bully who inspired rioters to call for her boss to be hanged.  It's interesting to see the number of Red Team members making their way onto Trump's enemy list for speaking the truth (not associated with Donald's social media site).

Update 6-16-22:  Retired conservative Judge Luttig said this of Trump:

“For the past six years, I have watched and listened in disgust that not one single leader of ours with the moral authority, the courage and the will to stand up and say, ‘No, this is not who we are, this is not what America is and it’s not what we want to be,’ has done so.”

That more Republicans aren’t standing up to “this nonsense, this utter madness,” he said, is “the definition of failed leadership.”

Update 6-18-22:  Luttig called MAGA world a "clear and present danger to American democracy. 

Update 6-19-22:   At least two Red Team officials asked Trump for a pardon for their actions around Jan. 6th.  Jared was busy working on pardons as Trump's mob ravaged the Capital.  Did Trump issue secret pardons as he is unconstrained by law or precedence?

Update 7-4-22:  Former President and Mafia Don Trump wants the committee to ignore his attempts to burn down democracy and focus on people "burning down cities."  Huh?  There are people shooting up cities, but widespread arson?  Nope.  So far this year there have been 308 mass shootings.  

Update 7-13-22:  Following election results is so "non-Donald"

Update 8-26-22:  Yahoo News reported:

A reporter asked Barr why more Republicans did not simply come out and say that Trump’s claims that election fraud had prevented him from winning the 2020 election were, to use Barr's previous word, “bullshit.”

“The tactic that Trump is using to exert this control over the Republican Party is extortion,” Barr said of his former boss. “What other great leader has done this? Telling the party, ‘If it’s not me, I’m going to ruin your election chances by telling my base to sit home. And I’ll sabotage whoever you nominate other than me.’ It shows what he’s all about. He’s all about himself.”

Update 9-8-22:  Fifty-eight percent of respondents in the two-day poll - including one in four Republicans - said Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement is threatening America's democratic foundations

Update 9-10-22:   Trump's former White House lawyer Ty Cobb said former President Donald Trump risks not just prosecution, but disqualification from office under the 14th Amendment over the January riots.  

Update 9-15-22:   Trump threatened civil unrest if he is indicted for taking classified information to Mar-a-Lago.

Update 1-2-23:  Senior Trump aide Hope Hicks wrote after Jan. 6th:

"...We all look like domestic terrorists now.”

That they did.  Many still do.

Update 1-16-23:  Trump called the Capital rioters "great patriots" and their deserved prison sentences "a disgrace."  Spoken like a Chief Domestic Terrorist.

Update 2-3-23:   The Red Team went all out for election fraud in 2020:

"Comms is going to continue to fan the flame and get the word out about Democrats trying to steal this election. We’ll do whatever they need (inaudible) help with. Just be on standby in case there’s any stunts we need to pull.."

This Independent voter is not impressed.

Update 3-19-24:  Trump flip flopped on the Jan. 6th rioters.  Strangely, nobody cares that a petty, vengeful, easily distracted, sexual predator has a shot at returning to our country's seat of power.  The list of former Trump aides working against that very notion continues to grow.

Trump's campaign has gone full delusional with its portrayal of Jan. 6th.  The televised horror of that day is seared in my mind.  Trump celebrates his cult of violence and for that America suffers..
