Donald Trump is by far, in my life time, the worst president ever. And I think he will end up always in the top three worst presidents of this union---assuming and hoping of course, that we can hold on to our republic.
“The former guy,” seems to be somehow, the way many feel is a way to---I dunno?---maybe not call him a former president?
Well, I never once in his 4 year administration referred to him as “president.” Never once. That was my way, my deal with myself, of fighting the amazing corruptness of his term. So I do understand the need to try to avoid the fact, that yes, this country did elect him as president.
But he was defeated, soundly, in the election of 2020. And as more and more about his term and his involvement in the insurrection of Jan. 6 comes forward, I think really? “Former guy” is the best insult we can throw his way?
Nope. I think we should call him, always, Donald Trump. I think we should never, ever let him off with something as toothless as “former guy.” I think we should always connect him and his name, Donald Trump, with the many disasters he has foist upon us. Donald Trump DID THAT, not some “former guy.”
I do not understand why this has caught on as some kind of ---what? Perhaps some think if they don't mention his name, they are doing good? But to me this is like calling Hitler, had he lived, “former guy.” And yeah, some may think that is hyperbolic, but I don’t. IF Trump had had his way, who knows the depths this country could have sunk into. And who knows where we may be headed as he still leads the GOP. HE IS NO FORMER GUY.
Yes, we’re far from rid of DONALD TRUMP. Which is why the delusion of calling him “former guy” is even more wrong and useless in messaging to me. It is to be frank, IMO, the worst kind of weak tit Democratic Party messaging--- the idea that whoa Nelly, look at us put this guy down! FORMER GUY!!! Yeah, wow, that really sums it up. NOT!!!!!!
He is Donald Trump, who brought out the worst in our country, and still is.
He is Donald Trump whose handling of the Co-vid cost us thousands of lives, and still is.
He is Donald Trump who has made racism safe again.
He is Donald Trump whose idea of infrastructure was a fall down wall at the border.
He is Donald Trump who lied thousands of times to this country, and we kept track!
He is Donald Trump who threw paper towels at victims of a hurricane.
He is Donald Trump who made fun of the disabled.
He is Donald Trump who has sexually harassed/assaulted more women than Cuomo could have dreamed of in his best “old Italian” nights. But unlike Cuomo, he got away WITH IT ALL.
He is Donald Trump who should be in jail right now, probably should have been in jail for what he pulled before he ever became president.
He is Donald Trump who tried to tear down about every rule of law we have.
He is Donald Trump who is is STILL TRYING TO PUT THIS COUNTRY, THIS UNION, THIS DEMOCRACY, DOWN.
He is Donald Trump, who one cannot list all of his sins without spending hours at it.
And we, the Democratic Party, have chosen to call him “Former guy?!?!?!” I imagine the heads of the GOP laughing up their sleeves at our attempt to message him. “Former guy” they must be saying to themselves. with relief---hahahahahahahahaha!
No sir, no ma’am. He is not “former guy.” He is Donald Trump, and his name should be FOREVER attached to his great failure at everything. His name should be FOREVER attached to just how close he brought us to losing our Democracy. And we don’t know yet that he didn’t succeed.
Donald Trump. His name should live in infamy. “Former guy?!?” PFFFFFFFFFFT. You must be kidding me.
I hate to use meme’s like “woke” because I think before we can turn around, they’re being made fun of. But dear Lord, the Democratic Party is downright snoring when they think calling Donald Trump, “former guy” is some kind of good messaging.
