Just a few divisive actions by Trump

2 min read

I recently read a social media post by a Trump supporter bemoaning the fact that liberals characterized him as "divisive" while having no substantial information about anything to support their claim.

There is not enough time and space to detail all of the obvious things the (Trump) has done that are divisive, starting with his first campaign in which he bragged about sexual exploitation antics like a junior high miscreant. A conviction in this area has had little or no impact on this man's treatment of women. He continues to exhibit all the qualities of a woman hater in his daily dealings with the public and the press.

(Trump) has continued to be a leader in the movement to dismantle public education as we know it. As a youngster, my father served on the school board. If someone wanted to have some say in local public schools, this was the way to do it. I could never imagine that the entire republican party nationally could become an enemy to something so valuable and cohesive as public schools, especially in small communities. (Trump) seems dead-set on doing away with the department of education.

Add to this his continual lying about anything that makes him look weak or bad; he is a true sociopath in every sense of the word. The fact that he and his followers don't admit this is what makes it all the more sad. Crowd sizes, the insurrection, parades, wars, celebrations, etc. These have all become set in his mind in some alternative universe to the extent that he no longer can perceive reality.

Finally comes (Trump)'s achilles' heel, the Epstein files. His own justice department has been ordered to have these disclosed, unredacted in their entirety. So......it remains to be seen if this administration is really honest, but then we all know the answer to that already.
