“Make America Great Again” has been the slogan of the current occupant of the White House since Trump the Dump announced his first run for the presidency in 2016.
It’s been well established and documented that he’s a congenital liar. Pathological liars have 14.2 percent less gray brain matter when compared to the average person. See the Jan. 23, 2025, Washington Post article by Glenn Kessler, “30,573 Lies.”
Combined with Trump’s own “Access Hollywood” interview words, “if you’re a celebrity, women will let you … grab them by the pussy,” there’s also the manner in which he applied suntan lotion to his own daughter’s legs during a poolside interview, suggesting incest.
Then there’s the winning case of E. Jean Carroll, $89 million – I truly respect and admire her for her principles – not to mention the other innumerable allegations of similar machismo conduct. But it’s for these three well-documented perverse activities that I still can’t comprehend or even begin to understand how or why any normal, mature woman could ever vote for a character such as Trump the Dump?
It’s nearly the end of 2025 in the second Trump presidency. While my access to the media is severely limited, I haven’t heard or seen one so-called journalist ask Trump: “Can or will you tell the American people a time frame as to exactly when America was great?”
Nor have I heard or seen any journalist publicly inquire as to how or why Trump was able to obtain six different deferments from military service while average Americans were enlisted and deployed to various parts of the world, thousands never to return alive.
While campaigning for the second term, he actually publicly stated, “If I’m elected, you’ll never have to vote again.” Unfortunately, he’s attempted to keep his word, in the sense that he’s discussed the possibility of a third term presidency. This is a direct violation of the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. According to the local San Luis Obispo NPR radio station, KCBX, there is a scheme to accomplish this objective. Don’t be surprised if or when J.D. Vance becomes Amerikkka’s next president under “convenient” circumstances.
Which brings me to yet another stupid and egotistical statement made by the Dump: “I love the poorly educated!”
This one statement speaks volumes about how he thinks and feels about the masses. This comes from a moron who stands in front of a TV camera in Washington, D.C., holding the Holy Bible with its back to the camera and often recites the First Amendment clause related to the separation between church and state. Then there are the numerous occasions on which he’s stated, “God spoke to me,” which keeps the religious right-wing base intact.
The Jan. 6, 2020, congressional insurrection – unquestionably incited by Trump the Dump – is another matter that America seems to have completely forgotten, in spite of a woman being shot and killed while climbing through a broken window at the White House, the subsequent suicides, PTSD conditions and the infamous “Stand down but stand by” order given to the Proud Boys fanatics.
I’ve also been wondering if there’s any point in reminding the readers that Trump actually suggested those infected with the COVID-19 virus inject themselves with disinfectant during a televised Fox News press conference. See “Trump suggests ‘injection’ of disinfectant to beat coronavirus.” And I’m still wondering if any of his “true believer” flunky-followers actually followed his advice? Jim Jones 2.0.
This brings me to the most important issue of language and its use. So many people hear but don’t listen, like looking but not seeing.
One of the most frequently abused words, especially in political circles, is “intelligence.” It is used in a manner which connotes a manifestation of a high mental capacity and importance and that the information conveyed is the absolute and verified truth. The reality is that intelligence is no more than simple information that the speaker wants and needs the person to believe. It’s one of those selected words that have power all by itself, such as love or hate.
Another that’s being increasingly abused, more than ever, is “obviously.” It is used in a manner which indirectly challenges your common sense in that, if you don’t see or understand whatever’s being said, you’re either blind, deaf, dumb, ignorant, stupid or all of the above.
The “Big Beautiful Bill” is another example of how easily words can be abused, as when anything appears to be “beautiful,” there’s no need to inspect it for any flaws. A timeless adage of wisdom is, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” and beauty really is only skin deep.
Anyone that doesn’t think or believe that the Dump doesn’t have any racist, white supremacist blood flowing through his veins should take the time to read some of the New Yorker magazine articles published about him. Actions have always spoken louder than mere words.
It is for all of the above reasons that I’ll never understand how so many Latinos, who are being racially profiled, actually voted for him?
But the absolute worst are the boot-licking, ass-kissing, Yes-Sir-Boss, tap-dancing, Driving-Miss-Daisy house negroes that attend his rallies and vote for him, as though he actually cares about the well-being of anyone with melanin in their biology. Not to mention that he recently used a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor and his father as political pawns to convince some Black voters that he isn’t a racist.
And who could forget the $85,000 New York Times advertisement to bring back the death penalty for the Central Park Five in 1989? See “Trump Will Not Apologize for Calling for Death Penalty Over Central Park Five.” If you’re not woke, then you’re sleeping! As in being unconscious!
As recently as June 17, 2025, the OANN (One America News Network) managed to find a low-life boot-licker from Chicago, who actually stated with a smile, “Black Americas are the happiest of all people.” I had to watch and listen to this program a second time, just to be sure that I’d heard it correctly. Fortunately, Chicago’s Mayor Brandon Johnson shared a different reality.
The “supposed” first attempted assassination of the Dump in Butler, Penn., is yet another incident that deserves reflection. Trump’s right-wing media kiss-ass hosts continue to attempt to present him as a hero-savior of the country. Needless to say, there are many Americans who think or believe that the entire incident was staged to ensure and secure votes and to project the “strong leader” image.
The possibility of this farce is increased as with the Dump’s need for attention, the spotlight and being seen as a hero. It is out of character for him not to show the scar from the bullet wound that supposedly grazed his right ear, resulting in light bleeding, after he popped up from behind the podium with fist in air.
Perhaps he should be nominated for an Academy Award, as it was an excellent performance. I’ve watched – inspected with a magnifying glass – several TV close-up photos of the Dump since the “performance” and not seen anything that resembles a scar or even a scratch on his right ear. Look for yourself!
On July 19, 2024, the ACLU published a detailed roadmap reflecting the many threats of a second Trump presidency and his association with Project 2025. See “Project 2025 Promises to Harm Our Communities.” He has denied having any knowledge of it, even though at least three of his former White House staff members are included among its authors.
So it is not surprising that any voices that expose his immoral or illegal activities are being silenced.
These realities are evidenced by the recent complete eliminations of DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) programs, most of which benefited lower income and people of color, as well as the $9.4 billion reduction in funding for PBS, NPR, MSNBC and CNN. Keep in mind Trump’s infamous words, “I love poorly educated people!” So when you kill the messenger, you also kill the message, and America remains ignorant.
Along similar lines, even with the internet, wi-fi and AI, few Americans are aware of the fact that all of the “news” obtained from the various platforms is censored by the government. So, we’re all “allowed” to know what they want us to know. An excellent example of this reality is the Will Smith and Gene Hackman movie, “Enemy of the State,” which is quite revealing.
It should be noted too that the government will tell and show you what it’s doing, but it is often disguised as “entertainment” or “science fiction,” so it is just a matter of paying attention and knowing what to look for.
Another excellent example is the recent “gift” of a $400 million Boeing 747 jetliner from Qatar to Trump. It was only briefly mentioned on the news for two days and hasn’t been mentioned since then. None of the right-wing, useful idiot radio talk show hosts in San Luis Obispo county ever talk about it, nor have I heard any discussions about the $10 million that Trump accepted from Egypt’s president in 2017, or the “Skylink Account.”
There have also been some discussions about the number of other offshore bank accounts that have been established for finances obtained from corporations that have benefited from deregulation on the production of various products. I regretfully admit that the one thing the Dump is very good at doing is distractions. His fumbled speeches, press conferences and rallies keep the public focused on the results of his ego, as opposed to what he’s doing behind the curtain. See the April 17, 2025, Molly White report, “Trump’s Newest Grift: Building a Cryptocurrency Empire while Destroying Its Regulators.”
It wasn’t a coincidence that the Dump allowed for the financing of a poorly attended parade in Washington, D.C., on Flag Day, June 14, 2025, which just happened to be his 79th birthday. History reflects that most dictators hold parades to glorify themselves. This “Dictator’s Parade” cost the American taxpayers $45 million to $75 million, which could’ve been used for any number of social programs that would’ve benefited the public.
And for those who have been paying attention, you’ll remember hearing the term “Manifest Destiny” spoken several times by Trump in 2024. More recently he’s spoken publicly on the subjects of occupying Greenland and Canada, as well as renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.”
If there’s any truth to the old adage “association produces similarity,” it is easy to see why Trump has been kissing the ass of the Russian president for years. But Trump will never be more than Putin’s puppet under any circumstance.
The “No Kings” protest marches in June and again on Oct. 18, 2025, the latter in 2,700 cities across America in all 50 states involving a total of 7 million people – over 2% of the nation’s population – is the absolute proof of this reality and truth.
There’s also the matter of the enormous number of boxes of classified and top secret documents taken from the White House at the end of Trump’s first term to his estate in Florida. No one will ever know how many of those documents may have been copied and shared with potential adversaries. Consider how many former state and federal employees have been fired, fined or imprisoned for simply possessing a few classified documents? Yet, the public is constantly being fed the obvious lie of “no one is above the law.” Perhaps there’s an exception for megalomaniacs?
Speaking of the law, one of the first of the Dump’s many executive orders was for the Department of Justice to rescind the National Law Enforcement Accountability Database established by President Biden in December 2023. As such, there are 150,000 federal officers’ files reflecting abuses of authority and shootings that will never be available for review to the public again.
Additionally, as there will be reductions in the funding for the Veterans Administration, which will affect 72,000 individuals, this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. Trump made a stunning statement several years ago during a public speaking event: “Soldiers are suckers and losers.”
This statement was recently the subject of discussion on a local right-wing radio talk show. Needless to say, the show’s host denied that Trump had ever said it and blamed the lie on the “left-wing radical” media. Anyone or anything that doesn’t agree with or opposes the Trump agenda is labeled “radical,” un-American or communist.
It is also not a coincidence that the Dump schedules his “performances” to coincide with nationally recognized holidays. In the future, whenever anyone uses a search engine such as Google, the holiday, Trump’s name and event will also appear, keeping the Trump name alive and relevant in America’s history.
I’m confident that readers would like to be informed of a NPR article of June 17, 2025: “NAACP Won’t Invite Trump to Its National Conference, Breaking a 116 Year Tradition.“
I’ve been told that the White House posted a response to the NPR article on June 17, 2025, but it doesn’t include any information or a rebuttal to Trump revoking the 501(c)(4) non-profit status of the organization, reported on KNEWS985.COM on June 24, 2025. A childish act of retaliation for not being invited to the annual conference, which again would’ve provided Dump with another opportunity to “appear” that he’s not a racist.
It is also not so surprising to see just how far the extreme right-wing media will go to get its messages to the public. OAN News invited disgraced former Congressman George Santos, a certified pathological liar, as a guest on June 30, 2025, in an attempt to discredit New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s progressive policies. Santos is currently awaiting sentencing for charges of wire fraud, identity theft, money laundering, making false statements to the Federal Elections Commission, false statements to the House of Representatives and theft of public funds.
But as he and Trump the Dump share similar character flaws, there’s a strong possibility that Trump will pardon him and find a place for Santos in his administration. The Dump’s flunky loyalists get passes and pardons.
The similarities between Adolf Hitler and Trump are too numerous to ignore – see a 2020 Rick Steves production, “The Story of Fascism in Europe,” that was rebroadcast on July 2, 2025 – not to mention Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin and other infamous dictators.
And at the risk of appearing to beat a dead horse, it is truly amazing and shocking how most of the extreme right-wing radio talk show hosts never miss an opportunity to “deep throat” Trump. No matter what he says or does, a righteous justification is created for it, which is insulting to elementary common sense!
Then there’s the “convenient coincidence” of Trump publicly stating, “I won’t be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize,” and less than a week later, on July 8, 2025, Benjamin Netanyahu announced that he’d nominated the Dump for the prize. As reported in the Autumn-Winter 2024 Space Alert” newsletter: “He’s like a shark at the bottom of the ocean. He has to keep momentum going with war, as the moment he stops, he sinks to the bottom and perishes.”
If the facts and truth weren’t “right there in your face,” it would be impossible to believe how the right-wing constantly blames everything that isn’t right on former presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden’s administrations.
It is also not a coincidence that the right-wing media has failed and neglected intentionally to show the public any photographs of Trump and Jeffrey Epstein in group photos taken on Epstein’s privately owned island during Trump’s first term as president. It has also been officially documented that three full minutes of video surveillance tape are missing from the night that Epstein supposedly committed suicide.
It is now common knowledge that Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Fox News on Feb. 21, 2025, “I have the client/victim list on my desk,” but as of July 6, 2025, the list “mysteriously” disappeared.
It may surprise some readers to learn and know that Jeffrey Epstein was a United States government asset in the 1950s, acting as a “middle man” for arms purchases and exchanges in foreign countries, such as missiles, rocket launchers and land mines. But the corporate media has remained focused on his trafficking of young girls and women for the rich and powerful, as sex always sells and gets the public’s attention.
And yet another member of Trump’s inner circle, Kristi Noem, secretly accepted $80,000 in “political donations” – dark money – for her American Resolve Policy Fund, which she failed to disclose in her financial reports. She did treat herself to a $50,000 Rolex Cosmograph Daytona watch, which she wore in March while posing in front of Venezuelan deportees “caged” at El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center. It is interesting that Kristi Noem’s organization, American Resolve, has no employees, according to her tax filing reported by ProPublica. See “Kristi Noem-Tied Firm Secretly Got Piece of $220 Million DHS Campaign.”
Many will remember Trump publicly stating something to the effect: “If I’m elected president for a second term, you’ll never have to vote again.” He’s already begun to test the boundaries of the U.S. Constitution by suggesting that he’ll run for a third term.
It is been thought of, discussed and often believed by many that if Trump is able to twist or bend the Constitution to stay in office for a third term, he will “Make America Great Again” by eliminating the 13th Amendment of the Constitution and allowing slavery to be legal again. “Make America Great Again” is simply coded language for “Make America White Again” before it implodes.
Another unfortunate reality is that Joe Biden’s “autopen” dilemma has become a serious problem for the Democratic Party, as his executive orders may be deemed null and void in a court of law because Joe Biden didn’t actually sign the orders himself.
It’ll also be quite interesting to see how many journalists make an effort to obtain the flight logs for the trips that Trump or persons in his administration made to Epstein’s property. To date there have been none! See Wired magazine’s Epstein videos: “We Tracked Every Visitor to Epstein Island” and “Wired: Nearly 3 Minutes Were Cut from FBI’s ‘Raw’ Surveillance Video of Epstein’s Cell.”
It doesn’t require a genius, rocket scientist or brain surgeon to understand how or why the Epstein victim-client list is so very important to the Republican Party. Not only is there a strong possibility that Trump’s name is on the list, there’s a strong possibility that it includes the names of many GOP members – senators, congressmen and others in the Trump administration – which would finally and conclusively expose the perverted immorality of the conservative Republican Party.
The Catholic Church and many of its dioceses are perfect examples of “mysteriously disappearing files,” in that DNA tests and priests’ confessions have confirmed the molestation of thousands of innocent children. But most of these known child molesters are simply transferred to a different diocese in a different state or city and are very seldom imprisoned for the lives that they’ve changed forever!
So, make no mistake about it, there’s a reason that the Dump wears the “Make America Great Again” and “Gulf of America” caps often – and never wears a wedding ring.
It is worth mentioning too that Trump is in the process of creating a cell phone company, “Trump One Mobile.” While much of his rhetoric has been “bring manufacturing and jobs back to America,” there’s a recent news segment suggesting that Trump’s mobile phones will be assembled in China, while the parts are made in America? The hypocrisy never ends!
“‘Make America Great A-GAIN’ while I make and break all the rules to make as much money as possible” is apparently Trump’s mantra.
The Epstein files are becoming more and more revealing in several different ways as Trump makes every effort to block their release. In short, the “distraction” of releasing trial transcripts instead of the actual files can only be viewed as a desperate last-ditch effort to keep his secrets.
And as many of the MAGA base supporters are beginning to see the Dump for what and who he really is, “The Great Deceiver,” Trump now refers to them as “stupid and foolish Republicans, whose support I don’t want anymore.” I can only imagine how many Republicans are regretting that they actually voted for him.
Equally important, as right-wing loyalist radio talk show and TV hosts are constantly justifying Dump’s behavior, lies and executive orders, none have even briefly mentioned a single word about Trump removing the bust of Martin Luther King Jr. from the White House’s Oval Office several days after reversing Congress’ order to rename military bases that honored Confederate military figures (Newsweek, June 17, 2025). See “Trump Quietly Removes MLK Bust from Oval Office.”
Yet, he’ll mention Martin Luther King’s name when it serves the purpose of improving the humanitarian “image” that he attempts to project to the public.
I also doubt that the average citizen has a clue of just how devastating Trump’s elimination of DEI really is, and will be in the future. This has been complicated by Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which defunds additional public service organizations. In short, Americans are set for a very rude awakening in just how unquenchable Trump’s thirst for power really is!
Besides all of the aforementioned matters, there are the tariffs that have been imposed on now-alienated allies of the United States. There are the tens of thousands of immigrants whose constitutional right of birth citizenship has been ignored and violated. Thousands have been deported to various foreign countries and imprisoned without a hearing or trial or any due process – Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Mahmoud Khalil, Audre Hernandez Romero and George Retes, just to name a few – due to the tactics of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).
Incidentally, I’d be interested in knowing who will be held responsible for the 10 deaths of immigrants in ICE’s custody since January 2025? See DemocracyNow.org, June 27, 2025, “Headlines for June 27, 2025.” Additional references are 404 Media.co, July 17, 2025; Rolling Stone magazine, July 12 and 16, 2025; and CovertActionMagazine.com. It is as though Trump, his administration and the right-wingers think or believe that immigrants don’t love their families and friends as deeply as White Americans appear to?
I’ve recently been wondering how many people in America remember the names of Heather Heyer or Corey Comperatore?
Ms. Heyer was the 32-year-old woman killed at a skinhead rally in Charlottesville, Va., by the Trump supporter driving a gray Dodge Charger who drove his car into a crowd of people. Corey Comperatore was shot and killed while attending the July 13, 2024, Butler, Pa., first “supposed” attempted assassination of the Dump. Then there’s the infamous Jan. 6, 2020, insurrection in which at least one woman was shot and killed, as well as innumerable individuals beaten by Capitol Police and jailed.
An internet search of Trump’s bumbling speeches, rallies and events will reflect the catastrophes that resulted from his mere presence!
It may also surprise, amaze and shock readers to know that there’s an AI-created news video showing former President Obama being handcuffed and arrested by FBI agents in the Oval Office! This, in my opinion, is just another example of the desperation of Trump to deflect attention from the Epstein files. See MSNBC, July 24, 2025. See “Obama Responds to Trump’s AI Arrest Video and Treason Claim.”
It should also be noted that the Dump’s disdain for Obama stems from the depth of his envy, resentment and jealousy that Obama possesses everything that Dump is incapable of ever having in his life. As is the same reality with Rev. Dr. Martin L. King Jr. See the June 17, 2025, Atlantic Black Star article by A.L. Lee.
It is also not a coincidence of timing that the Dump administration just released 230,000 pages of FBI surveillance records of MLK, which will distract the public from the contents of the Epstein files. It is also the Dump’s hope that the MLK files will contain information that would lessen the global respect and admiration that MLK will have throughout history!
Another subject of interest is that the Kennedy name in politics has been comparable to queens and kings since John Fitzgerald Kennedy became the president in 1961, as he was one of the very few presidents whose concerns were “for the people” of America.
It is for this reason alone that it is hard to see and believe how Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has allowed Trump to disgrace his family’s name by becoming even less than a flunky, a puppet punk. Even worse, he’s made no objections to Trump’s whims of renaming the Kennedy Center Opera House to the “Trump Center for the Performing Arts” and renaming another arts center with Melania’s name.
Speaking for myself, before I’d allow this to happen, I’d burn it to the ground!
Another “interesting coincidence” is the timing of the cancellation of the Stephen Colbert late night show and the threat to terminate the Jimmy Kimmel show. Both, and other late night shows, have comically stated truths about the Dump and his administration’s actions for several years. The excuse for the terminations is that these shows had been losing tens of millions of dollars for up to four years. But if this was the reality, why weren’t they cancelled before now? This is what’s called a corporate assault on dissent!
“Gerrymandering” is the only word needed to describe Trump’s efforts to redistrict the entire state of Texas in an effort to guarantee votes in the 2026 midterm elections. See the July 29, 2025, Amanpour & Co. segment “David Daley: Anti-Democratic.”
While you’re on the Amanpour URL, you’ll be interested in reviewing the short segment reflecting the realities of Israel having killed 18,000 babies and children by bombings and starvation, not to mention tens of millions of Palestinians who will be handicapped for the rest of their lives. See DemocracyNow.org, July 21-31, 2025, “Precisely Designed Mass Starvation.” Ironically, Benjamin Netanyahu publicly stated that “there has been no starvation in Gaza,” as though the entire world should simply ignore, and pretend that it’s never seen, all of the images of the emaciated babies and children with their spines nearly piercing the skin of their backs!
Without congressional approval, Trump alone authorized the bombing of Iran with 12 30,000-pound bunker-buster bombs, supposedly to destroy 900 pounds of enriched uranium. After it was discovered that there was “no uranium” at the bombed location, in an effort to justify the bombing, the cover story was that the uranium had been transported to a different location a few hours before the bombing.
Similarly, there’s Trump’s unsanctioned bombing of Venezuelan boats in international waters that he says without any proof were transporting narcotics to America. As of Nov. 17, 83 people have been killed in 21 strikes, and needless to say, there have been no reports of any packages or bails of drugs being found floating in the water. This leaves one to wonder: Was there an alternative motive for targeting these particular boats?
There’s also the matter of the unwarranted firing of Dr. Ericka McEntarfer, director of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as a result of her publishing the actual employment numbers, which were considerably lower than those projected to the public by Trump himself during various TV and radio news interviews. Ironically, Trump had praised the BLS Reports in the previous months of April, May and June 2025. See the Aug. 1, 2025, NBC.com article by Monica Alba. See “Trump fires Labor Statistics Commissioner hours after weak jobs report.”
Interestingly, on the other end of the kiss-ass spectrum, there’s Trump’s lifetime former attorney, Emil Bove III, who was recently gifted with an appointment to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. This will serve Trump in the future, as at least one of the many lawsuits filed on Trump will eventually be docketed to the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals. As it’s happened in the recent past, the case will be dismissed or postponed to a date at which most Americans will have forgotten it.
All of which is similar to Trump appointing Brendan Carr as the chairman of the FCC, who conveniently suspended Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show as a result of Kimmel exposing truths that Trump would prefer the public not be aware of or reminded of. The retaliatory suspension was so obvious and blatant that it was lifted after only a few days.
Then there’s the subject of Tom Homan, who was caught on video tape accepting a $50,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent for a future favorable construction project. But as Homan was one of Trump’s “good ol’ boys,” Trump ordered the FBI to terminate its investigation of Homan. See DemocracyNow.org, Sept. 23, 2025, “Judiciary Democrats Demand DOJ, FBI Release Recordings of Tom Homan.”
It is good to see that the people of the United Kingdom weren’t distracted by Trump’s recent visit, which was a simple performance to show the world that he hasn’t burnt all of his bridges yet. Fortunately, the people of the UK haven’t forgotten about Trump’s partnership with Epstein, as they projected images of Trump and Epstein on the walls of Windsor Castle during Trump’s visit, as well as displaying a large 50-by-50 photograph of Trump and Epstein taken in 1992. See DemocracyNow.org, Sept. 17, 2025, ”Four People Arrested for Projecting Trump and Epstein Photos on Windsor Castle.” This gives credence to the old adage, “You can fool some of the people some of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.”
And lastly, for those who are really in the know on American global politics, you’ll know that Charlie Kirk is just another pawn in the game. It is a perfect example of how a tragedy can be transformed into a political tool of propaganda. Kirk’s name will be used for this purpose for many years to come, just as “9/11” has been used for almost 25 years at the appropriate moments.
