*** “It’s hard to believe anyone would vote for me. People must really be very stupid.” [Donald Trump]
This post will provide just four May, 2026, examples of how INCOMPETENT, how Corrupt, how much contempt Trump has for ordinary Americans – like YOU. We have folders and envelopes FULL of similar stories. It seems EVERY day brings a new example of how Trump has declared war on ordinary Americans, on American democracy, is weakening and disgracing America. Not by me – but by the Preamble’s principles: “We the People”. created a new government to “establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare..” Trump doesn’t care about any of this.
1] “Intel shows Iran’s military stronger than Trump says”. [Adam Entous, Maggie Haberman, Jonathan Swan; New York Times; 5/14/26]: “Most alarming to some senior officials is evidence that Iran has restored operational access to 30 of thre 33 missile sites in maintains along the Strait of Hormuz…Iran has regained access to roughly 90% of its underground missile storage and launch facilities nationwide…Trump and his military advisors overestimated the damage that the U.S. military could inflict..and underestimated Iran’s resilience and ability to bounce back.”

2] “Trump’s IRS suit could be settled”. [Andrew Duhren, Alan Feur; New York Times; 5/14/26]: “..a move that could involve the government directly providing taxpayer funds or another public benefit to the president…the possibility of the IRS dropping any audits of Trump, his family members or businesses..”…Depending on its terms, a settlement with the IRS could be among Trump’s most brazen efforts to bend the government to his personal will – an agenda often carried out through the Justice Department. Trump and his family have repeatedly disregarded Washington ethical guardrails aimed at preventing government officials from profiting from public office.” [NOTE: if memory serves, didn’t Trump says his was going to voluntarily disclose his tax data???]
***. “What do I care about the law? Haint I got the power?” [ Cornelius Vanderbilt ]
3] “Trump: Economic pain not a consideration for Iran War”. [ Erica Green; New York Times; 5/14/26]: “President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he does not think about the economic hardship Americans feel as a result of his war in Iran, and it did not factor into his negotiations to end it…..”I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,’ Trump added. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all”
[NOTE; Trump hopes that YOU will forget the HE canceled a settlement that PROHIBITED Iran from having a nuclear bomb !!!!!!! Perhaps because President Obama negotiated it – can’t have anything Obama did !!!]
***. “The basest and meanest of all human beings are generally the most forward to despise others. – So that the most contemptible are generally the most contemptuous.” [ Henry Fielding ]
4] “Tobacco’s big win, courtesy of Trump”. [ Christina Jewett, Kenneth Vogel; New York Times; 5/14/26]: “The industry has poured millions into his presidency…Donald Trump got an earful from a group of tobacco executives and lobbyists unhappy with the way the Food and Drug Administration was regulating their industry…He complained to [RFK, Jr., Oz]..about the FDA’s regulation of e-cigarettes..”…The message was received. Less than a week later, the executives got what they wanted….The new policy bypassed the FDA’s regular rule-making process.”
*** “People who contribute get the ear of the member and the ear of the staff. they have access and access is it. Access is power. Access is clout. That’s how this thing works.” [ retired U.S. Representative Romano Mazzoli; in “Economic Apartheid in America”; Chuck collins, Felice Yeskel ]
***. Donald John Trump is THE man our Founders feared. He is THE anti-George Washington. He is THE anti-Abraham Lincoln. He is THE man feared in JohnW. Dean’s “Broken Government” ;…”another four years, and heaven forbid not eight years, under the Republicans, and our grandchildren will have to build a new government, because the one we have will be unrecognizable and unworkable.” – This from a “life-long Republican” in the Nixon White House!!!!! YOU have ONE. chance left to prevent the Trump DICTATORSHIP from being even more destructive, more undemocratic. – In November, 2026, VOTE AGAINST EVERY REPUBLICAN. – because they have almost all. “Drunk the Koolaid,” are giving Trump whatever he demands. – like the. KNOWN. corrupt mid-decade. GERRYMANDERING.
***. “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law; invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” [ Justice Louis Brandeis ]
