What has been constant all through Donald Trump’s lifetime? Lies, frauds, cons, made-up eventualities, verbal diarrhea, attacking the poor to fill the banks of the wealthy, misogyny? Nah, whereas there have been breaks in these right here and there – his shockingly coherent Joe Biden put up involves thoughts – one factor has been the lifeline of his political regime.
Hatred. Tons of it, and he by no means actually made an effort to cover disdain towards anybody who both didn’t help him, sided together with his opponents, or dared to name him and his lackeys out. In a 2012 episode of The Movie star Apprentice, Trump remarked: “No one takes issues extra personally than me. When anyone says one thing private about me, I hate them for the remainder of my life. It’s in all probability unsuitable, however I hate folks… I by no means get better from it.”
And he hasn’t modified in any respect. If something, changing into president for the second time has solely hastened his ethical degradation.
However clearly, both the White Home Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt – who has been spouting mind-bogging lies for the president – has been residing in an alternate universe all this time, or believes are phrases will probably be sufficient to erase the sinking ditch of hatred Trump’s social media accounts are.
Proper. So, the POTUS proclaiming that he hates Taylor Swift just because she doesn’t like his insurance policies and opinions shouldn’t be a pacesetter of a nation spewing hatred?
And this is only one instance in a swarming nest of imply, degrading feedback he has made.
When he threatened and insulted judges who had been overseeing his felony circumstances, in addition to those who held him answerable for sexual assault. When he brazenly derided CNN Journalist Jim Costa and stated, “I hate your stinking guts, you make me vomit. You’re the scum between my toes.”
Or when he posted a picture of former President Joe Biden hog-tied, mendacity horizontally together with his palms and ft certain. Or his insensitive and disrespectful feedback in regards to the 2022 assault on Nancy Pelosi’s husband that had been extensively condemned? Did Levitt neglect these, or is she hoping that the remainder of America will endure the identical sample of cult-induced amnesia? Marvel how she may say that with a straight face.
And don’t even neglect his MAGA base that thrives on hatred, ecstatic that now they’ll brazenly be racist and be disgusting with no repercussions. Keep in mind Shiloh Hendrix from Minnesota? The girl used a racial slur towards a 5-year-old autistic Black baby in late April 2025 at Troopers Area Memorial Park, the place Hendrix confronted the kid, accused him of taking objects from her son’s diaper bag, and used the N-word within the change. The implications? None.
In actual fact, after the video of the incident went viral, Hendrix launched a fundraiser on the Christian crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo, claiming that her private data had been leaked on-line and that she and her household had been receiving threats. To this point, she has managed to lift $700,000, with a aim of $1 million.
That is the Trump administration and its domino impact on the nation. That is the extent to which he has dragged down America.
