Trump’s former supporters know he is dangerous and unfit to be president

The quote below is from a letter above 100 Prominent Republicans they signed, pledging their vote for Kamila Harris.

“We are former national security and foreign policy officials who served in the administrations of Presidents Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, George W. Bush, and/or Donald Trump, or as Republican members of Congress. I have served in the White House, the Departments of Defense, Treasury, State, Justice, Homeland Security, Commerce and other agencies and in Congress.”

Marine Corps General John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff and Homeland Security secretary is publicly quoted as saying he is a fascist and praised Hitler’s generals for their loyalty and that “Hitler did some good things.”

Trump wants to weaken NATO, paving the way for his idol Putin to become aggressive in Ukraine, with Poland the next stop. He was negotiating to build a Trump Tower in Russia while running for president in 2016.

He has publicly threatened CNBC, 60 Minutes, The New York Times and others saying he will go after them and spread the word when he wins. He calls his opponents the “enemy within,” meaning anyone who does not bow to him.

Democracy is at stake. Change your stripes and vote Harris this time. If there is a better candidate, vote Republican next time. I’m a Democrat, I’ve voted for a Republican president in the past.

If I can change my election stripes, so can you.

The GOP cares about character, but only in politicians other than Trump

“First Democrats called half the country deplorable, now they’re doubling down calling us trash,” US Congressman from Tennessee, John Rose, R-District 6, said in a statement. “Democrats’ disrespect for half the views and opinions of the country is exactly what’s wrong with far-left liberal leadership.”

An Open Letter to My Representative John Rose: Sir, The first letter I wrote to you as my representative a few years ago, I was curious what you thought about Donald Trump being elected president.

In your answer, you stated that ccharacter it was not your concern. I was disturbed by your reply and sent you another letter. Since then, your responses have been standard copy/paste, ignoring my concerns.

Trump’s lack of respect for others, be they women (by defending them (private parts)), veterans (they’re “they’re bastards and losers”), or immigrants (they’re ” boil”), whether they’re disabled (he mocks a reporter), or whoever disagrees with him, I could go on and on about the convicted felon. You understand me THE gifts

So, John Rose, you’re okay with your guy defaming others, but kindly don’t defame your almighty leader. You can’t or don’t want to see that your guy has taken his role “The Apprentice”, and turned it into the biggest mistake on our country.

Let’s hope we have an honest woman as president.

Trump will treat America like he did his bankrupt businesses

How the hell is that possible someone do i support trump? His many transgressions, whether personal or political, are widely known. His record in office is also widely known: For all the wrong reasons.

He is a known narcissist and con artist, has no clear understanding of economics or politics, and any of his public positions is an absolute wreck (that’s the nicest way I know how to put it). Not to mention his open adoration of both living and non-living dictators and their policies/actions.

Do we really want this talking trash fire to run the country – straight into the ground like he has done with all his failed businesses?
