Because that's how you operate ...


Broad brush strokes and no specifics...


Truth is...their pretty much all accurate...you are just too fearful to acknoledge that because your entire world will come crashing down ... 


That's a pretty hard fall ... To realize the person whom you called the best president ever actually is a Mob-boss fraudster?


I'll help you out - Let's look at the first three ...


This fake?


1. Instead of draining the swamp, he’s made it much dirtier. Candidate Trump famously promised to drain the DC swamp. But President Trump has given top administration jobs to people — including Scott PruittRyan ZinkeTom PriceDiane Auer JonesMike Pompeo, and many others — who have engineered the administration’s wholesale steering of policy and regulations to help big bad-behaving corporations, from polluting, climate change-denying oil companies to predatory for-profit colleges. These individuals, before or after working for Trump, often took big paying jobs in those same industries, and some, while in government, have grabbed a wide range of personal perqs to enrich themselves and advance their political interests.


Big donors to Trump’s campaigns have repeatedly sought and received government jobs and government favors from Trump and his underlings. Trump has mingled with some of Washington’s worst corporate lobbyist swamp creatures, like Bush crony C. Boyden Gray, who have bankrolled Trump’a efforts. Under Trump, government and the policies that affect our daily lives are for sale to the highest bidder. 


Meanwhile, six former Trump campaign and White House aides — Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, and others — have been criminally convicted by federal prosecutors on charges arising out of the Russia investigation, ranging from lobbying abuses to obstruction of justice; a seventh, Steve Bannon, was recently charged in a scheme to defraud Trump supporters; and another Trump crony and Republican National Committee official pled guilty this month on foreign influence-peddling charges.


This fake?


2.  He’s personally pocketed millions in taxpayer, lobbyist, donor, and foreign dollars. Trump has caused federal agencies to spend at least $2.5 million to rent high-priced rooms at his company’s hotels, improperly profiting off his presidency. Corporations, political committees, lobby groups, and foreign governments seeking to curry favor with Trump, plus his own presidential campaign, have spent much more — well above $12 million — at his properties. 


This fake?


3. He’s corrupted the tax system and fudged his own taxes. Trump steered most of his tax cut to the wealthiest people and corporations and then bragged to rich friends at his country club, “You all just got a lot richer.” Meanwhile, he has concealed his own tax returns, which, when leaked, revealed that he paid almost no taxes, claiming huge losses to the IRS, while at the same time, to get new loans, telling banks that he was making big money. 


 


This Fake?


Also, in 2019, Trump agreed to pay $2 million to charity as part of a settlement with law enforcement in which he admitted he misused funds raised by the non-profit, tax-exempt Donald J. Trump Foundation to support his presidential campaign and pay business and personal expenses.


4. He’s gutted health care. Out of hatred for President Obama, and to appease corporate interests, Trump has sought, even as the COVID-19 pandemic has raged, to eviscerate the Affordable Care Act, with its protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions, and then repeatedly has told Americans the lie that he has a new, better health plan ready to go, when he’s never had any plan at all.


This Fake?



5. In the pandemic, he’s sacrificed American lives to a failed re-election strategy. Trump has made COVID-19 — 225,000 Americans dead and counting — much worse, covering up and lying about the disease’s contagiousness and thus allowing the spread to intensify, in hopes of not tanking the stock market and his re-election momentum, and then continuing to downplay the dangers, hold super spreader events, and undermine mask-wearing and other measures that could save U.S. lives. 


This fake?


6. He has sought to undermine the integrity of our elections, with the aim of improving his chances to win. Trump has falsely claimed widespread voting fraud by Democrats. He has publicly declared that the only way he can lose the election is if the Democrats cheat, refused to say he will peacefully transfer power, and told his supporters he should get “twelve more years,” instead of four. He’s also urged and endorsed efforts by his underlings and supporters to act in intimidatingthreatening, and illegal ways toward Democratic voters. 


This Fake?


Also: In 2018, a federal court in New York accepted a guilty plea from Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen based on evidence that he acted on orders from Trump to pay hush money to a porn star, and conceal the payment in violation of federal election laws. 


7. He has shown devotion to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, repeatedly praising him, publicly endorsing his denials of election interference, aggressively hiding the contents of their conversations, and failing to ask him about reports from U.S. intelligence that Russia has offered bounties to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan or about the poisonings, beatings, and killings of Putin critics. Also, in 2017, Trump delayed for months, beyond the legal deadline, implementing a bipartisan bill, passed by overwhelming, veto-proof margins in both houses of Congress, that imposed new sanctions on Russia in the wake of its tampering with the 2016 election. What is the hold that Putin has on Trump?
