Trump Trash
Trump and his supporters are fond of suggesting that women who dare to oppose him are “whores” that have relied on sexual promiscuity to advance their careers. Predictably, the current target of pro-Trump misogynistic wrath is Kamala Harris. A popular slogan that has appeared on T-shirts and bumper stickers sold at Trump rallies declares that…

He Means What He Says
Many Trump followers claim they trust and admire him because “he means what he says”. His blunt speaking style, however crude and vulgar, is perceived as evidence of honesty.

In a July 2016 interview, George Stephanopoulos asked Donald Trump why he favored the removal of a provision from the Republican Party Platform that called for providing Ukraine with defensive military weapons.

Trump’s Idiotic Covid Remedies
Since Donald Trump is now officially the 2024 Republican nominee for president, it may be useful to remind ourselves of what very likely were the stupidest thoughts ever articulated by a sitting president. Of course, I am referring to Trump’s proposed treatment of Covid by bringing “light inside the body” and “injection” of disinfectants. These…

Trump’s Followers and the Decline of Moral Integrity
What troubles me most about Donald Trump is not the stupidity, the narcissism, the lies, the corruption, or even the threat he represents to American democracy. It is the corrosive effect he has on the decency of the people that support him. To put it simply — he brings out the worst in people. A…

The upper photo is of Kamala Harris at the 2024 Democratic National Convention and the lower photo is of Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention that was held a few weeks earlier.
