Let\u2019s wrap our heads around this: Trump says he supports the military, uses the military to show he is \u201cstrong,\u201d yet privately calls veterens who died in war \u201closers\u201d and \u201cchumps,\u201d confirmed by a Fox reporter that Trump is now trying to \u201ccancel.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump knew last January, certainly by February 7, that COVID-19 was a particularly serious disease, far worse than the flu. But over the last six months, Trump lied to the country that the coronavirus wasn\u2019t serious. At first he said it was \u201cone person, from China.\u201d As it got worse, he blamed others: \u201cIt\u2019s Obama\u2019s fault, it\u2019s China\u2019s fault, it\u2019s WHO\u2019s fault, it\u2019s New York\u2019s fault\u2026 \u201c<\/p>\n

We still don\u2019t have enough masks. Whose fault is that?<\/p>\n

For the last six months, Trump encouraged behavior by his supporters<\/i> that made our country one of the sickest in the world: Don\u2019t wear masks. Protest governors trying to contain the virus. Hurry and open bars and schools, the virus is no big deal, it will magically disappear.<\/p>\n

As a result, tens of thousands of Americans died needlessly from the disease.<\/p>\n

My Trump-loving neighbors, Trump has said that he does not respect you. It\u2019s your loyalty he craves, your vote, that\u2019s all, and he said as much even before he was elected:<\/p>\n

“You know what else they say about my people? The polls, they say I have the most loyal people. Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn\u2019t lose any voters, okay? It\u2019s like incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n

Translation: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter! I could be a murderer and those chumps would vote for me! It\u2019s like incredible!\u201d This is a man whose moral compass points only at himself.<\/p>\n

Evangelicals? Here\u2019s what Trump thinks of your Christian faith: \u201cCan you believe that bullshit? Can you believe people believe that bullshit?\u201d How can Christians support a man whose entire life is a repudiation of Christ, who mocks your Bible when not holding it up pretending he’s a Believer?<\/p>\n

Please, Trumpers, see this awful man for who he is. He sits in palaces lying to you while at the same time laughing at you. See the contempt so obvious in his words and his belief that you will accept anything he says, everything he does. Understand that he has killed tens of thousands of us with his lies, and could not care less about that.<\/p>\n

Turn your back, finally, on this fake president.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
