Remembering a President Who Ran a Corrupt Operation from the White House

CRIMINAL ENTERPRISES

 

Four years ago, Trump was physically pushed out of the White House despite his desperate attempts to incite violence and remain in power. His tenure left the nation exposed to severe national security weaknesses, contributing to the catastrophic impact of COVID-19, which claimed millions of lives and shuttered countless businesses. Trump dismantled critical protective measures, defunded essential programs, and removed scientists from vulnerable regions, all while running a corrupt operation from within the White House.

President Trump dismantled the pandemic response team in 2018, leaving the nation vulnerable to pandemics. The administration sought to cut funding for the CDC, although Congress restored and increased some of that funding. These actions significantly hampered the nation's preparedness and response to COVID-19, leading to widespread devastation and a death toll surpassing 200,000 by September 2020.

Trump brazenly appointed Supreme Court judges to shield himself from accountability for his numerous transgressions against the nation. He appointed his daughter as a senior advisor and his son-in-law, who essentially acted as the chief of staff, securing a two-billion-dollar deal with the Saudi government, undoubtedly trading something of immense value in return. Despite being impeached twice, political machinations allowed Republicans to prevent his expulsion from office. They profess their patriotism, but their inaction speaks volumes.

Trump purchased a hotel in Washington, D.C., where he could charge exorbitant rates to those seeking to influence the White House, with his son Donny Jr. managing these deals. It is infuriating that the Biden administration did not investigate the transactions conducted within that hotel. Trump is the only president who directly profited from his businesses while in office, yet faced no consequences. Encouraging domestic terrorists to support his cause under the guise of patriotism, he continued to undermine the nation's security.

The Justice Department has repeatedly identified domestic terrorism as the greatest threat to the nation, yet Republicans either collude with these elements or are too cowardly to confront them. On January 6, 2021, these criminal networks rallied behind Trump, attempting to maintain his grip on power. Sadly, our forces did not respond to these terrorists with the same vigor typically employed against foreign threats. Now, Trump’s running mate is openly threatening civil war if they are not elected, a stark reminder of the ongoing peril.

Even the Murdoch family eventually distanced themselves from this corrupt regime, although it might have been a ploy to avoid scrutiny under the Biden administration. Our political system repeatedly elevates individuals with criminal pasts or connections, who then fail to uphold the law against their cronies. Kamala Harris stands as a beacon of integrity, free from such baggage. As the former Attorney General of California, she is poised to lead a justice department unafraid to prosecute wrongdoers.

Harris has no family members embroiled in legal troubles, allowing her to focus entirely on national governance. Her candidacy represents a golden opportunity for progressives yearning for robust fiscal policies to uplift the poor and middle class. The current state of our $30 trillion debt is a testament to the failure of past leadership. Building a strong economy necessitates a vibrant middle class, achievable through the honest implementation of progressive policies. Harris’s leadership promises a future where the nation’s strength is derived from the prosperity of all its people, not just the privileged few.

Trump talks like a reborn slave owner, nostalgic for the days when everyone bowed to the rich. He frames his message as if every white man was wealthy and owned slaves, while in reality, rich individuals exploit everyone, regardless of skin color. The sooner we understand that the wealthy use people to abuse others, the better. Consider the billionaire in India who threw a half-billion-dollar wedding, only to raise data service costs afterward to recoup his expenses. This example shows that wealthy people are all alike, and therefore, the middle class and poor need to unite in this battle. It is a fight for all of us, regardless of our appearance or skin color. Kamala Harris is the candidate we've been waiting for. She may not have won the primaries due to widespread corruption and distractions, but now we have the opportunity to support her. We need to rally behind her candidacy to save this nation from further debt and to build a strong, equitable economy for all. Her candidacy is beneficial for everyone, white and non-white, in the middle and poor classes.
