As President, the problem with Trump has been two-fold.
He didn’t care for, nor did he step into his role.
He lacked integrity as a leader and a person.
As a know-it-all, he was not willing to learn.
Being a narcissist, the spotlight and attention had to be on him.
Forget the needs of the public.
As an authoritarian he did not allow the experts to have a say.
His image and how the economy looked was given more weight.
As a liar, truth could not prevail.
He often denied being a bigot and racist.
But to the actions and behaviors that reflected them,
He’s been complicit and complaisant.
With his egotistical and arrogant ways.
Bullying others has been a Presidential mainstay.
Another gold spoon for Trump’s mouth.
Inheriting an economy on the up and up.
People already forgot that the Obama-Biden Administration
Was met with an economic downturn heading for depression.
Not giving credit where credit is due.
Allowing Trump’s mirages to ring as true.
Eyebrows raised about pay for play.
Dumping or buying stocks for personal gain.
Engaging in insider trading.
While knowing Covid-19 cases would be rising.
Obama meant well and had good intent.
But he was attacked from inside parts of the Government.
He was judged by his skin color and Party affiliation.
His attempts at creation were met with damnation.
As a person and in his role – to discredit and villainize.
His accomplishments delegitimized and minimized.
Yet it’s Trump and Republicans who can shout they are victims.
And Trump claims he’s being attacked by the deep state.
As President,
Trump’s craving for attention and publicity works against him.
So much information in the public about how he thinks.
And what makes him tick.
Psychologically minded ones will find him easy to manipulate.
An easy target to become someone’s puppet.
And even now that he’s leaving office.
There is fear that he could sell America’s secrets.
Eight of Trump’s associates arrested or convicted of crime.
The law and order president pardoning some
So they won’t do time.
Deliberate destruction of documents.
When the law for presidential doings require preservation.
Five meetings with Russian officials.
No evidence regarding the content of the sessions.
Interpreters’ notes confiscated and emails deleted.
Overtime for shredders, not a concern for his believers.
A fitting analogy for what Trump is doing to the Country.
Trump said he was deserving of another presidential run.
This one hasn’t finished, but he has already checked out.
After his election loss, playing golf.
Schedule cleared, not even try to cover the fact that there is no more govern.
Raising money for his after-life
While Mitch McConnell continues to deny a session to pass a care package
To help the millions stripped to bare bones by Covid.
Before Covid-19, four percent of Americans were hungry.
Since then, 12 percent and rising.
Lack of care and concern – Officials not even disguising.
Without aid, 40 percent of restaurants will close.
While Trump portrays life as normal.
And McConnell sends the Senate home.
The list is long.
As they’ve been exempt from wrong.
It’s not just what they feel they can take.
It’s also what they are freely given.
Often reinforced despite how they behave.
So now they are highly driven.
And it’s not just the color or status of the leader.
It’s who the leader and the Party represents
That decides on who is granted that all-out consent.
If Non-Caucasian or of less privileged descent –
You’re more likely a part of the malcontent.
It’s been obvious which side and Party gets what.
Who is at the back of the line and which is at the front.
Trump and Republicans have been given such leeway.
The benefits of White and Privileged on full display.
