Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms President Trump

I’m a moderate thinking independent with democratic leanings and will vote for a moderate democrat this next election. I would vote for a moderate republican I respect. I respected John McCain. I think Governor Kasich is a respectable person as well.

Trump is a disaster and total embarrassment to the office of the President of the United States. I will not call him president because I think his presidency is illegitimate. I do believe Russian influence in the election was enough to throw the election towards Trump in very close swing states like the one I live in.

I believe him to be dishonest, unethical, and lacks the integrity to hold such an office.

He has placed this country and the world at great risk. His relationship to Putin is concerning and wonder whose playbook he is guided by. He has weakened our relationship with our allies and weakened NATO. He has severely divided an already divided country with rascist and nationalistic views weakening us even more. Hmmm? Who do you think benefits from that?

In the name of promoting business pursuits he has deregulated safety measures designed to protect the public that have been in place for many years allowing more pollution of our water and air. He has allowed dangerous chemicals to be released and deregulated food inspection, ie pork and we all know he doesn’t care about climate change.

He doesn’t believe in the concept of equal branches of government so eloquently defined in our constitution as evidenced by his total disregard for requests of information by the House of Representatives. He doesn’t listen to advisors but only to himself. Not one of his advisors recommended he pull out of the Iran Nuclear Treaty. He didn’t listen. I’m sure he would be very happy as dictator Trump. He is a danger to democracy and should be removed from office but I know that isn’t going to happen.

One comment about our politics. Our country is extremely polarized for many reasons. A two party system of government doesn’t work unless there are many moderate thinkers who can compromise. Without that our Congress will continue to be dysfunctional.

Solution: Elect moderate thinking Democrats and Republicans and eliminate the influence of big money on our politicians.

I feel better.

The best to everybody.
