Trump Timeline ... Trumpocalypse

The first rule of hole digging is when you find yourself in one, stop digging. The country is in a much deeper hole then it would have been because of Trumps galactic ineptitude. He lacks the competence, judgement, intelligence, decisiveness and empathy to lead America’s recovery

The 2020 election is the most important Presidential election since 1864 which decided whether we would remain a Union. The United States has paid dearly for Trumps spectacular incompetence, delusion and dishonesty during these early months of the new decade. After 3 years (2)

The crisis came and Trump failed his duties. His incompetence and indecision have created one of the great disasters in American history. There will be more death, more suffering and more economic ruination because Trump is the President. He lacks the qualities necessary (3)

To lead a season of American renewal and recovery. There has never been a more important time for people to think deeply about our politics and the direction of this nation. Trump has visited humiliation on the country as the world watches the absurdity of his dishonest (4)

Blathering for hours at a time about his grievances and victimization. His ineptitude makes America look weak and incompetent. For three years Trump has disgraced his office and divided the nation. He is an unfit President. He is unworthy of the Presidency of the United States (5

And this should be the judgement of a great people who must rise from a long complacency and engage in the practice of citizenship. The choice between Trump and Biden could not be more clear. A bad man vs a good man. An incompetent bully vs a unifying leader .

When Donald Trump was sworn in as President three years ago, he pledged to give the nation pride and strength. "We will bring back our jobs,” Trump said in his inaugural address on Jan. 20, 2017. "We will bring back our wealth.” He even spoke of freeing the Earth from the "miseries of disease.” He said, "A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.”

Now the coronavirus has plunged the country into the greatest crisis since the Great Depression. That period began with the crash of the New York Stock Exchange in the fall of 1929 and is still etched into the collective consciousness. The pandemic is affecting every nation on the planet, but nowhere in the Western world has it brought to light shortcomings as relentlessly as it has in the United States. At the end of February, the American president claimed that his government was in complete control of the situation. But now the number of infected is approaching the 500,000-mark. Hospitals in New York, Detroit and New Orleans are barely able to cope with the onslaught of sick people.

And unlike in previous global crises, the U.S. is failing as a global leader. The country is currently too concerned with itself. Trump, as is so often the case, is trying to save himself by attacking the international organization that is supposed to coordinate the global fight against the crisis: the World Health Organization (WHO). He has threatened to defund the WHO because, he claims, it "blew it.”

During his inaugural speech in January 2017, Trump also said: "America will start winning again, winning like never before.” Now the U.S. has become the problem child in the global battle against the virus. While China and South Korea have stopped the spread of the contagion for the time being and parts of Europe are trying to slowly return to normality, the U.S. is setting one negative record after the other. No other country has as many infections, and the White House itself is predicting up to 240,000 deaths by fall. A study by the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis estimates that 47 million Americans will have lost their jobs by June.
