Donald J. Trump: The Penny For a Penny's Worth Politician

"May I just say that the stupidest, most despicable, most self-defeating political “tactic” in our present hyper-partisan climate is the accusation that victims of today’s horrific wildfires, floods, and such are getting what they deserved because of their political views. 

Start with this month’s catastrophic floods in Appalachia. If you’ve never had a river gushing into your home and town, you can’t imagine the destruction, muck, stench, injuries, death, and despair. Yet, various numbskulls who profess to be progressive have posted taunts online, chortling that these devastated victims are red-state, small-government Trump voters who don’t deserve government’s helping hand in their time of dire need.

Likewise, right-wing MAGA squads, including some GOP congress critters, routinely jeer at wildfire victims in blue states and cities, gloating that hellfire is righteous punishment for “ungodly” people who oppose Trump’s “divine mission.”

Hello—this is not politics, it’s disgraceful inhumanity. And those who engage in it are skuzz, insults to America’s democratic ideals of the Common Good...

Just to push back one something that Kyle Kulinski said here first and then I'll get into my broader point. 

I'm going to be the prick here and lay in to the people who voted for Donald J. Trump for President and are now having to live with that the very consequential decision. And what do I mean by that? I'm the guy who says to other people: 

"We warned you. You voted for Donald Trump anyway. We did our homework about the 2024 presidential election. You obviously didn't... or are on some national or political suicide mission and have some death wish that Donald J. Trump can deliver for you." 

Kyle Kulinski literally said in his video when talking about the 2024 presidential election: "Not trying to be an asshole. But we warned everybody. We warned everybody...

But if you look at the urban dictionary of asshole: "A person who is intentionally cruel, obnoxious and heartless. Assholes are most often male. A female who follows these traits is referred to as a bitch." 

At least with a prick, that person is going to let you know what's wrong with you, what's not working, and that's probably all they'll do for you. So I and the rest of The New Democrat weren't being pricks in 2023-24, when we were putting out all that information about why Donald J. Trump shouldn't even be eligible for a tour of The White House, (even if he paid for it with his own money) let alone ever be anywhere close to winning his party's nomination for President again. We, along with almost the entire Democratic Party, not just the leadership, we're making it very clear why Donald J. Trump has no business ever being President of the United States again. 

But we have a lot of voters who are simply too dumb, too lazy, or simply don't give a damn about their own future's, or the future of the country, or were on a national or political suicide mission, to pay attention to the presidential election and current affairs in this country.

Donald John Trump is the penny for a penny's politician. Whatever you think of this man, you are getting what you voted for. His entire business as well as political careers are now an open book. People just have to open and read the damn thing about him. And with the internet and social media, very easy to find out the necessary information about him. 

Trump runs for office saying he's going to do all these great things and "make America great again', and it not going to cost anybody anything. And he's got 75-80 million voters locked in for him every time he runs for President. That's a lot of political suicide missions being flown. I wonder if those pilots are aware that Trump Administration is gutting the Federal Aviation Administration. Which means there might not be enough air traffic controllers to land their planes. Oh wait, these are political suicide pilots. (Meaning Trump voters) So I guess they don't care. 

And to push back on something that Jim Hightower said: "May I just say that the stupidest, most despicable, most self-defeating political “tactic” in our present hyper-partisan climate is the accusation that victims of today’s horrific wildfires, floods, and such are getting what they deserved because of their political views...

Are these voters (not just rural West Virginia and North Carolina voters) getting what they deserved? The short answer is no. We have a Federal Emergency Administration Agency that's literally in the business to help people when get hit by a major storm or a flood, etc. 

But, if you were to buy a used car that had a 100,000 miles on it and the salesman told you that it was as good as new, even better, which is why he's only going to charge you full price for this used car (by the way) instead of adding an additional 10% to what the car did sell for at full price. So you buy the damn car and it breaks down on you a mile down the road from the used car lot. Wouldn't you at least be partially responsible for that? 

We have a lot of uneducated consumers in America. That's why there's so much spam in our email and why we get spam calls and text's. But we have a lot of uneducated voters as well. And that's the people that the Donald John Trump's of the world rely on, prey on, to keep their careers going and to live the comfortable lifestyle that he expects to live. 

Just go back to September when North Carolina and Georgia was devastated by that hurricane. Instead of going there and accessing the damage of those communities to see how he could help President Biden, Governor Cooper in North Carolina, Governor Kemp in Georgia, deliver the resources that those communities need to try to deal with the hurricane damage there, he lies and claims that the President is ignoring them. Governor Brian Kemp publicly contradicts Mr. Trump's lie within hours and said that he talked the President right away about the situation. Governor Kemp cares about his state. Donald Trump sees Georgia as nothing but a political tool for himself. 

The aftermaths of the hurricanes in the Southeast and Mid Atlantic should've been a damn good clue for anyone who is paying attention, whose currently sober, sane, and who is not a moron (hopefully that's not a limited club) that Donald Trump doesn't actually care about the people in these states. he just wants to use them. But they voted for him anyway. So who's fault is that? I'll give you a clue: not the people who warned them about him.
