America was faced with a clear choice:&nbsp;&nbsp;endorse Donald Trump, or turn away from his outdated and extreme views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Laissez Faire<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current President\u2019s philosophy is one that has played through our history.&nbsp;&nbsp;From William McKinley to Herbert Hoover, Donald Trump has followed their example of laissez faire capitalism, assured in the faith that what\u2019s \u201cgood for General Motors\u201d is good for the country.&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s also used the blunt instrument of tariffs and trade wars to try to bully other nations into line.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Reagan years it was called \u201ctrickle down\u201d economics.&nbsp;&nbsp;Put the money in at the top, to the wealthiest Americans, and like a \u201cdrip\u201d coffee pot, eventually it would drip down to the poorest.&nbsp;&nbsp;It didn\u2019t work in Reagan\u2019s years; but what it did do was start a trend in \u201cincome inequality\u201d that results in today\u2019s extremes.&nbsp;&nbsp;The top one percent of Americans owns more wealth than the entire middle class (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jackkelly\/2019\/11\/12\/the-1-owns-almost-as-much-wealth-as-the-middle-class-will-the-rich-keep-getting-richer\/#70922ba34323\">Forbes<\/a>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And Mr. Trump has corrupted the Teddy Roosevelt view of \u201cspeak softly, but carry a big stick\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mr. Trump does everything but speak softly, streaming tweets like vomit from a drunk, and while he brags about his \u201cbig stick\u201d (the military), he continually demonstrates his disdain for them, and is unwilling to actually use their power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Racism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the perhaps the most significant trend of the Trump Administration is one towards white extremism.&nbsp;&nbsp;Stephen Miller, a known white supremacist, is a key advisor to the President (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2019\/11\/26\/783047584\/leaked-emails-fuel-calls-for-stephen-miller-to-leave-white-house\">NPR<\/a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;The policies they have shaped in immigration and civil rights are ones that are more familiar to the America of the \u201cKnow Nothings\u201d in the 1850\u2019s, or the Ku Klux Klan era of the 1920\u2019s.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Mr. Trump is not directly to blame for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the subsequent civil unrest, but his statements, often written by Miller, gave license to police brutality.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he now is trying to use the unrest to agitate his supporters, spouting Richard Nixon\u2019s dog whistle line of \u201claw and order\u201d as a way to suppress minority rights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this President has made it clear that there are \u201cno rules\u201d or norms that will restrict his behavior.&nbsp;&nbsp;His campaign sought aid from foreign nations, and he trampled on the independence of his own Justice Department.&nbsp;&nbsp;He had dismantled the internal checks and balances of many executive departments by firing their Inspector Generals, and brought a \u201cRoy Cohn\u201d in as his Attorney General.&nbsp;&nbsp;He is a President of the United States who was impeached on clear evidence of using the finances of the United States to further his own personal political goals.&nbsp;&nbsp;And now, we find he has been silent as the Russian government placed bounties on the heads of American soldiers in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Oath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of these issues and many more (health insurance, for example) would have made for a lively Presidential campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;But now they pale before the President\u2019s response to the COVID-19 crisis, and the ensuing economic collapse.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Presidential oath is sworn in front of the nation at the inauguration, and calls for the President to \u201c\u2026preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;To do that, the President must first protect the nation.&nbsp;&nbsp;Donald Trump, forty-fifth President of the United States, failed in that task like no President has ever done before.&nbsp;&nbsp;He ignored warnings about the COVID-19 virus from his intelligence and scientific advisors at a time when it might have been possible to control the spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And he did it for political reasons.&nbsp;&nbsp;He didn\u2019t have time for a pandemic; he had an impeachment removal to avoid and an election to win.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he didn\u2019t have time for problems with China; he was too busy negotiating his \u201cfantastic deal\u201d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;So by the time there was a federal response to the virus, it was too late, and too embedded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Clear Failure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COVID-19 was not Donald Trump\u2019s fault.&nbsp;&nbsp;But the failure of the United States to react and control the disease is at his doorstep.&nbsp;&nbsp;It only takes looking at other nations in the world to see what might have been. France, Germany, and most of the rest of the European Union have COVID under control.&nbsp;&nbsp;Even the United Kingdom and Italy, who had a difficult time with the disease, now are reopening carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here in the United States, the President applied his \u201claissez faire\u201d philosophy to dealing with disease.&nbsp;&nbsp;He ignored it, and then after it was too late to control it, passed responsibility for action to state governors.&nbsp;&nbsp;He then proceeded to hamstring the governor\u2019s responses, causing the disease to have even more opportunity to spread.&nbsp;&nbsp;His malpractice hasn\u2019t stopped yet:&nbsp;&nbsp;even yesterday he demanded, yes demanded, that&nbsp;&nbsp;public schools open.&nbsp;&nbsp;This even though his own scientists tell him that they could provide a hotbed for COVID transmission in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campaign 2020<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But if schools don\u2019t open, parents can\u2019t go to work.&nbsp;&nbsp;If they aren\u2019t working, the economy cannot begin to recover before November.&nbsp;&nbsp;And if the economy isn\u2019t getting better, then Mr. Trump doesn\u2019t think he can win reelection.&nbsp;&nbsp;So open \u201cthe damn\u201d schools; that\u2019s the only choice the Trump Administration wants to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Joe Biden\u2019s not campaigning from his basement.&nbsp;&nbsp;He\u2019s actually in the \u201cgarden room\u201d in his home in Delaware.&nbsp;&nbsp;And he should stay there.&nbsp;&nbsp;Donald Trump is so busy shooting himself in the foot Biden doesn\u2019t need to do anything.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2020 Presidential election was going to be the most consequential choice Americans would make since the election of 1860, the one that preceded the Civil War.
