I received an unexpected communication from a very disturbed person (unsigned) telling me that, “If Donald Trump is ever reelected, all of the blacks in America will be killed and all of the people in our beloved country from Mexico will likewise be killed and our democracy will be gone forever.”
My goodness, I haven’t seen or heard from someone this paranoid since I worked, occasionally, at the New Hampshire Hospital.
I will try to reassure this person that these fears are so unrealistic as to be impossible.
First off, no president has that kind of power. If one tried, both Houses of Congress would impeach and remove him from power. Second, to do this, that president would need the full cooperation of the U.S. military, every branch of federal law enforcement, as well as the vast majority of civilian law enforcement agencies around the country. Not even we “Trumpers” would stand for it.
So I urge you, whoever you are, to calm yourself and possibly seek counseling. The allegation that Trump was the worse thing to ever happen to America is ludicrous.
I would remind readers that candidate Biden called President Trump’s ban on travel back and forth to China racist.
The writer’s belief that if President Trump had “placed the entire country in masks” we would not have had to spend all that we have had to. So again, I remind everyone, masks have not proven to have been any great benefit and most masks can not prevent viruses from passing through. The claim that Trump is a criminal can only be supported if there was evidence of some crime but there is not. After four years and four full criminal investigations trying to find one, and the subsequent impeachment processes, still, none could be found.
On the other hand, Vise President Joe Biden committed a well-documented felony when he threatened to withhold some billions of dollars to Ukraine unless they fired and dropped the investigation into a company his son worked for. That was coercion, a felony which Biden bragged about on tape.
But I do thank that writer for the wonderful glossy picture of the demonstrations on Jan 6th. I’ll put it in an album so my great-grandchildren can admire it someday.
