Matt Ferrara's Blog: Automated Dissolve

An estimated 100,000 and 240,000 Americans will lose their lives to COVID-19, and the majority of those deaths are the direct result of the negligent leadership of our classist, self-serving, science-denying narcissist game show president. Dont believe me? Lets rewind and review:

2017
Trumps first budget proposal includes cuts the CDC and NIH that former director Tom Frieden warns are unsafe at any level of enactment. Congress, thankfully, does not agree to these cuts. However

THERE’S SO MUCH MORE

[image error]I haven’t even touched on other aspects of his presidency that are alarming, embarrassing, shameful, or that are clear evidence of his inept and criminal leadership. I didn’t touch much on Healthcare. Despite promising to “repeal and replace Obamacare” with “something better” on “day one,” after seven months of meetings and announced intentions and an abandoned vote, a vote was finally taken in the Republican-controlled senate in July 2017, and the repeal of the Affordable C...

PREJUDICE

[image error]Trump, on election night, said it was time to heal divides, but has worsened divisions and stoked racial tensions in unimaginable ways. His racism is both implied and overt. In June of 2017, Trump cut $400,000 in funding for Life After Hate, an organization that helps people leave the KKK and other hate groups. On August 12, 2017, Trump condemned violence “on all sides” at a far-right rally in Charlottesville,...His

AMERICA FIRST

[image error]Trump promised to put America, and Americans, first. He has not. Ask Michael McFaul. On July 18, 2018, Russian prosecutors requested permission to interrogate eleven American citizens, including former Ambassador Michael McFaul, as part of their investigation into the alleged (read: bogus) financial crimes of Bill Browder, an American hedge fund manager who’d been critical of Putin. Trump did not immediately deny the request, and Sarah Sanders reported that Trump would “meet with his team”...class="s2">

CLIMATE CHANGE: A CHINESE HOAX?

[image error]As president, Trump has presided over unimaginable environmental destruction. The extent to which the administration has damaged the air, soil and water and undermined the efforts of scientists to inform the public about the existential dangers of climate change cannot be understated. However, a full accounting of the myriad ways they’ve done so would require an entire book. As a small sampling: Trump signed an executive order speeding up environmental reviews and approvals, a...

YOUR LAW AND ORDER PRESIDENT

[image error]Let’s talk about that impeachment, because it is the latest in a long series of alleged lawlessness and corruption that, frankly, defies human ability to absorb and retain. When he ran for president, he promised to be a champion of law and order, and contrasted himself with “Crooked Hillary,” whom he accused of corruption and criminality. But in addition to the many crimes already mentioned in this review, Trump has consistently violated laws and norms, undermined the just...

NO ONE RESPECTS WOMEN MORE THAN ME

[image error]When Trump was running for President, he frequently attacked Clinton in ways many believed were misogynistic, including claiming that she didn’t have “the look” or “the stamina” to be president, calling her “nasty woman,” and asking “If Hillary Clinton can’t satisfy her husband, what makes her think she can satisfy the country?” He also attacked Carly Fiorina (“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?”) and tweeted out a side-by-side comparison of an unf...

END ENDLESS WARS?
Another of candidate Trump’s selling points was that he would get America out of the endless cycle of wars that we’d been embroiled in for too long. Trump portrayed himself as anti-war, claiming he’d been against the invasion of Iraq (despite audio recordings from the Howard Stern show that show he’d supported it) and Libya (despite a video he released calling for military action there) and contrasted this false characterization of himself to Clinton, who was depicted as hawki...

RUN AMERICA LIKE A BUSINESS
[image error]
Trump campaigned on a frequent promise to run America like a business. His self-claims of business acumen were held up as qualification for the highest office in the country despite the fact that he’d never held any public office before. His true success as a businessman is disputed. He claims to have gotten a modest start and became a self-made billionaire. It was comical when he earnestly stated, “It wasn’t easy for me. My father gave me a small loan of a million dollars…” bu...
