More on Mr. Trump

A few months ago I wrote a blog about Mr. Trump and compared his rise in popularity to that of Hitler after lWW I.  This week one of the members of our Sacramento bike club, David Kirk, wrote a long treatise on the dangers posed by Mr. Trump comparing his rise to power as similar to that of Hitler and Mussolini.  He very eloquently details the issues here and how the german and italian people were taken in by his message of power to correct all ills and make “Germany Great Again.”

I am greatly alarmed by Mr. Trump and believe his message represents a real and ever present danger to our country and our cherished freedoms and institutions.  He must not be elected to the presidency.   Mr. McConnell, Republican leader of the senate, stated this week that he supports Mr. Trump and thinks there are enough checks and balances to prevent him from doing too much harm.  I disagree with that assessment.  The executive branch has almost unlimited power to do what they want to do.  Look at all the upstanding citizens he has threatened this week.  I do not visualize his approach or attitude will change if he becomes president.

I want to call everyone to think seriously about the threats posed by Mr. Trump and to do whatever you can to prevent him from being elected to the presidency.  The Sacramento Bee published an article today by Adam Liptak of the New York Times “Scholars  say Trump threatens the rule of law” and he suggests the checks and balances will not be enough to stop Mr. Trump.  Mr. Trump is not a good man and he threatens everything we stand for as Americans.  Lets make great use of the social media to prevent him from becoming president.

  1. From Berlin- though not a U.S. citizen I have to say that one man who can incite hatred against others is a dangerous thing and has no place in a democratic society. Stood in a square today where 70,000 people burned books in 1933. I would have said that was impossible but it did happen. Reagan said in 1987 "tear down this wall" & Trump wants to build one! Strange times we live in!

  2. Trump is the symptom, not the disease. He's just the one who best figured out how to capitalize on the fear, resentment, and hatred that's been stoked for years now.

  3. Yes Doug, Trump has completely capitalized on Republican primary voters fear and hate and I want to add IGNORANCE of what matters to this country.
