If I had written a screenplay for a movie last year, no one would have bought the rights to my storyline. Today, we are living through the absurdity of our TACO President. Trump can flood the zone with, at best, statements of half-truths. This results in most Americans wondering where to begin their counterpunch.

Trump’s claim that it was a rigged election when Biden won the presidential election in November 2020. All the appeals brought before various courts claiming various election fraud were dismissed or deemed not true. As a consequence, Trump wanted his supporters to march to the Capitol with him to stop the certification of Biden.

Well, he didn’t walk down with them to the Capitol, nor did any court find any election fraud. Additionally, his Vice President confirmed in the Electoral College that Biden won.

Trump also claims that he “ended 8 wars in just 8 months” and is “the president of peace.” The first seven wars consisted of the war between Pakistan and India, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Thailand and Cambodia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, Egypt and Ethiopia, and Serbia and Kosovo.

Trump’s claim that no president has ever solved wars. He factually ignored that two presidents, Teddy Roosevelt and Jimmy Carter, personally negotiated the end of two wars. Interestingly, Roosevelt and Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts. However, he never received the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you looked into each of those 8 wars, the US had little or no involvement in stopping the wars. For example, the war between Pakistan and India was resolved by those two parties. Neither America nor Trump was involved. India’s Defense Minister Singh denied that Trump ended the war. “India halted its operation because all the political and military objectives studied before and during the conflict had been fully achieved...To suggest that the operation was called off under pressure is baseless and entirely incorrect.”

As for the war between Hamas and Israel, Trump wrote a 20-point plan to end the war. Well, the fighting has stopped for now, but Israel has already violated Trump’s plan. Read article 8. Food and medical aid are being limited due to the Israeli crossing points.

Kristen Welker, host of NBC’s Meet the Press, interviewed the head spokesperson of the International Committee of the Red Cross about all the trucks that aren’t getting into Gaza.

The issue of not getting medicine and medical supplies into Gaza parallels the lack of food.

What is Trump doing about both the food and medicine issues?

Another inane mindset of Trump. He trusts Putin not to have meddled in the 2016 election, regardless of the CIA’s claims.

Now, I don’t know what Putin has on Trump, but Trump is scared of him and will kowtow to any of Putin’s orders.

Trump’s mindset on issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), tariffs, and immigration goes on ad nauseam. Trump is in an awkward situation. He would prefer to govern without Congress. The Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, Trump’s talking head, refuses to call the House back from recess. The government has been shut down for three weeks. No one is placing bets on whether or not it will reopen soon.

Nevertheless, Trump doesn’t want to open up the government. When it does, the House will swear in a new Democratic House member. That means the House will have the necessary votes to open the Epstein files. That is Trump’s Achilles heel.

In all the turmoil that America faces, nearly 7 million marchers let their voices be heard with their No Kings rally.

It should be noted that Terry Moran of ABC interviewed Trump. He showed Moran a framed picture on the wall of the Declaration of Independence. When Trump was asked what the Declaration of Independence meant to him, our very stable genius stated, “Well, it means exactly what it says, it's a declaration. A declaration of unity and love and respect, and it means a lot. And it's something very special to our country.”

Well, the Declaration of Independence meant that the thirteen colonies didn’t want to have a king ruling over them. It was the basis for the American Revolutionary War from Merry old England and King George III. Most Americans can recite the Preamble to the Declaration of Independence by heart. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

This video is an excellent recap of the January 6 insurrection.
