Admittedly, I am an independent opposed to your presidency for a very simple reason-you lack character, integrity, empathy, compassion and knowledge to be president of this already great nation.
My own background emanates from an Iowa farm which taught me responsibility at an early age. Our lives were dependent on the soil, cream from milk our cows produced and forage to feed them. I, along with others, was instilled with community spirit, respect for elders and others, truthfulness, a hard work ethic and enduring farm life hardships.
You, on the other hand, were a Fortunate Son given much of what money could buy except a basic connection to humanity, socialization, and knowledge. Predator capitalism lessons forged by your father were learned at an early age and you rebelled to the point of being cast way to a military academy for being incorrigible by your parents. It's not too difficult to assume the absence of family and love during those years coupled with hostility fomented a desire to deter military tenets of honor, duty, accountability and dedication to nation. Your brashness, self-centeredness, fear of germs, malignant narcissism, pathological equivocation and overall spite towards the poor, people of color, business partners, Veterans, women and many others are easily understood. After all, it is always someone else's fault and not yours.
You had no desire to be subjected to the Selective Service military draft receiving five exemptions with the last medically disqualifying you for heel bone spurs. Ironically, you participated in athletics at the military academy for many years and successfully passed your Selective Service physical on December 15, 1966. Four 2-S school deferments, 2 1-A meaning eligibility for induction and finally 1-Y, not eligible for service unless a state of emergency or war is declared. Looking this over brings a simple question of why you weren't drafted after receiving a 1-A ruling on July 7, 1968 and holding it for three months. 1968 was the height of the Vietnam War and draftees and enlistees were being accepted regardless except for the most afflicted. Of course, you immediately showed up for another physical on September 9, 1968, with a paid M.D. letter attesting to your heel bone spurs with a bit of affluenza thrown in undoubtedly. Now the truth came out of a deal your father made with a podiatrist, whom happened to rent from him, for a bone spur letter. If your name had been Smith, Washington or Gonzales, you would been on a flight to basic training, but not Trump. Still, it doesn't answer the question of why you weren't inducted during the three months of 1-A eligibility. You had already decided the military was not for you probably due to your castaway military academy days, absent parents, a lot of cowardice due to Vietnam fear, being a germaphobe, no desire to be around minorities and perhaps a little of Leona Helmsley attitude whereas laws are meant for the little people.
The Donald stated repeatedly in interviews in the past these bone spurs were TEMPORARY and NOT PAINFUL. You cloud the issue with misstatements and historical ignorance of your own draft history. You resort to the old "look up my records" reply to any draft queries or ignore altogether. The real reasons, in my opinion, were twofold. First, you were afraid of the real military, being treated like everyone else and possible Vietnam service. This type of fear carries to the present day indicative by your anger over criticisms, immediate shoot from the hip caustic responses, bullying, and proclivity towards tough-guy statements exhorting others to attack those who protest against you or are the wrong ethnicity or religion. All of this while you are safely protected by security while never admitting the exclusion of minorities or violence was wrong.
Secondly, Donald, you are simply not a team player. Fortunate Son upbringing and being rejected by your parents in favor of a military academy transformed you into a loner needing constant reinforcement of status, admiration, and self-worth. You never developed adequate social skills relying instead on names on glimmering towers, manufactured adoring fans, accouterments of wealth, constant media appearances, etc., which attest to your singular narcissistic status. This malignant narcissism precludes any team concept and subsequently being deemed a leader. Your inner fear culminates in disparaging the handicapped, denying health insurance to your own niece, abject coldness, lack of empathy and much more. The campaign trail has shown you to utter caustic speech, insecurity, self-absorption, bullying, racism, misogyny, sexism, etc., which are not signs of a leader, but a plea for help.
Your incessant desire to be deemed a "tough guy" is not accorded a great deal of credibility since you're not. Donnie, you surround yourself with convicted felons, extremists and other miscreants which denies rather than create a tough aura. Rather, it gives an image of someone who doesn't respect authority or the laws behind it-perhaps another adolescent creation. Your childlike protest of "I didn't know" or the "evil media" after staff or delegate less than saintly status is revealed only heightens this disregard and contradicts your self-proclaimed "smart guy" declaration. Here are a few just to remind you:
a. Joseph Weichselbaum, personal helicopter pilot. Twice convicted felon for drug distribution, tax evasion, grand theft auto and embezzlement.You wrote a letter to the court in November, 1987, prior to drug trafficking and tax evasion sentencing vouching for him being "conscientious, forthright and diligent...a credit to the community."
b. John Staluppi-friend and Colombo crime family member. You worked closely with him to create the Donald Trump Signature Series Cadillac debuted in 1988.
c. Katrina Pierson, national spokesperson-convicted of shoplifting in 1997 and accepted state unemployment insurance benefits, $11,000 (11 months worth) in 2012 while working on the Ted Cruz campaign. Texas law requires a recipient to be looking for full time paid employment, but Pierson apparently discarded that. She was working for Cruz, traveling the nation shilling the "evil" UN Agenda 21 theory and simultaneously planning a political career running against Rep. Pete Sessions. Obvious questions are was she paid by the Cruz campaign for this and where did the traveling money come from? Oh, she lost the election by 70%. She is notorious for time traveling, that is, blaming Obama for the 2004 death of Capt. Khan, son of a Gold Star Family who you, Donnie, disparaged for being Muslim. You didn't rebuke her for making this statement, Katrina is still employed somewhat and you are being blamed.
d. Mike and Irene Millin, joined with Trump for the Trump Institute which Trump University was umbrella organization and other "educational oferings." Milins had a troubled past with their National Grants Conference which was investigated by thirty-two state attorney-general for fraud, scamming and deceptive business practices. The television program Life Styles of the Rich and Famous sued both for failure to fulfill contractual requirements. Their National Grants Conference finally went bankrupt in 2006 owing $2.1 million to creditors following intense attorney-generals' pressure. This didn't bother Trump vetting as he deemed them an asset to his Institute and according to a 2006 report, the National Grants Conference and Trump Institute shared at least three of the same owners and a joint Boca Raton, Florida, address.
e. Trump and the Millins together focused on Trump University, but the endeavor was receiving criticism for not being an accredited university or college. Trump directed a name change to Trump Entrepreneur Initiative following these claims, but actions were too little, too late. The Initiative closed down in 2006, but faced continuing legal scrutiny by the New York Attorney General who began an intensive investigation in 2011 for false claims and illegal business practices. This eventually led into a major 2013 class action lawsuit settled later for $25 million. However, a small group of litigants didn't accept the meager settlement and are pursuing further court action.
f. Felix Sater-convicted felon with alleged organized crime connection worked closely with Trump on several deals. He had been convicted of money laundering in 1990s; later went to prison for plunging wine glass stem into a commodity broker's face; and avoided prison a second time for massive $40 million stock fraud and swindle, but was charged as an unindicted co-conspirator in 2000. and later found guilty of stock fraud in 2009. Trump partnered with the Sater Bayrock Group, a small development firm, with headquarters in Trump Tower in 2005. He worked with Donald/Ivanka on the legally troubled Soho project; Trump International Hotel and Tower, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, which failed with $100,000 in customer deposits lost; the canceled Trump Las Olas, Florida, project; and unsuccessful ventures in Colorado and Arizona. Sater now is a person of considerable interest to the Mueller investigation.
g. Your Cabinet-new scandals seem to pop up daily. Misuse of government funds, travel, policy revisions detrimental to the public, etc., all seem to indicate your lack of concern, inability to supervise or a reflection of yourself.
There are many more examples one could cite, but the most tragic is your inhumane action towards Puerto Rico and separating children from families along the border. You refused to renew the Jones Act waiver to allow all ships to offload needed supplies to the island. The Jones Act prohibits foreign ships from docking unless waived and you simply created a more disastrous situation sing to renew the waiver. Your excuse of aid damaging your budget was abominable and indicative of a challenged mind. Again, you lack human compassion, empathy and heartlessness only exacerbated an already tragic situation resulting in 4666 deaths to date. Obviously, there is a racist tint here exhibited in your campaign and presidency, but now even against US citizens in Puerto Rico.
I won't dwell on the child separation issue except to mention your own failure as a parent is at center-your children and son-in-law under criminal investigation. All reflecting your belief to be above the law and skirt, if not break, when necessary. The outrage wave must have stunned you and condemnations for seeking funds for your border wall to free children was sickening. It was Trump policy created months ago, not law, though you attempted to blame Democrats for the action. Again, vacating any notion of taking responsibility for your actions. Painting children as MS-13 members was reminiscent of earlier racist comments made during the campaign.
Well, Donnie, you are in a fix!! My recommendation is to resign and take Pence with you since he is religiously obsessed. Both of you need psychiatric treatment and a long trip to Moscow for future residence!
