What does Trump care about?

GOOD question! I’m glad I asked.
Let’s think about what we know about him.

Let’s first look at what Trump does NOT care about.

- We know that Trump does not care about our military and our veterans. For example: >He disrespects Gold Star families. >He calls the great Americans who died defending our great country “suckers and losers”. >He ignores intelligence reports that Putin is putting bounties on the heads of our troops in Afghanistan.

- We know that Trump does not care about our democracy. For example: >He took steps to rig the 2016 election in his favor. And he threatened to cause major problems for our democracy, if he did not win. >He is now taking steps to rig the 2020 election in his favor. And he is now threatening to cause major problems for our democracy, if he does not win.

- We know that Trump does not care about the people around him. He is now a VERY POSSIBLE Covid superspreader, but he does LITTLE to protect the people around him from his VERY DANGEROUS infection. And now MANY of the people around him have been infected.

When Trump and his minions are asked about virus testing on him, they evade and filibuster that VERY IMPORTANT question. And some of his minions have said that they “don’t want to go backwards”, which as we all know, is a TOTALLY ABSURD statement. As we all know, the ONLY WAY to know who Trump could have infected is “to go backwards”. Their evasion and their nonsense on that question begs the question: What are they hiding?

- We know that Trump does not care about his fans. For example: >According to insiders, he has ridiculed conservative religious leaders. >According to insiders, he has said that the Coronavirus would be a good thing, because he would not have to shake hands with the disgusting people at his pep rallies. >As we have seen at his pep rallies, he puts his fans in danger for the Coronavirus by packing them tightly together, and by encouraging them not to wear masks. And he does that, while he takes precautions to protect himself from the virus ... AND to protect himself from them.

- We know that Trump does not care about the American people. For example: He lied to us and downplayed the danger of the Coronavirus, when he KNEW that it could be a SERIOUS and DEADLY threat to our nation.

And we know WHY he lied. It was NOT to prevent panic for US, as he has claimed. Instead, it was to prevent political damage to HIM. On top of his lies, he has GROSSLY mismanaged the virus problem. That is, he has often CHOSEN to let his LIES influence his decisions, instead of letting truth and science influence them. As a result, his efforts to “combat” the virus have been haphazard, feeble, and lacking. And now, MILLIONS of Americans have gotten sick with the virus, and THOUSANDS have died from it.

Trump’s attitude about our Coronavirus problem: It is what it is.

What he does not acknowledge is this:
It is what it is, but it did NOT have to be that way.
And, it is what it is, because HE made it that way.

- And we know that Trump does not care about women’s rights, civil rights, LGBT rights, voting rights, workers’ rights, consumers’ rights, our public lands, our national parks, the climate, the environment (for example, clean air and clean water), affordable healthcare for millions of Americans, safety nets for the poor and the middle class (for example: Social Security and Medicare for older Americans; Medicaid and food stamps for low income Americans), government workers who want to do the right thing for the American people, institutions that make our democracy a democracy and that make America great (for example, our free press and our free-and-fair election process), institutions that keep America safe (for example, our intelligence agencies and our public health agencies) ... and many other issues that Americans care about.

Now let’s look at what Trump DOES care about.

- We know that Trump cares about gaining MORE MONEY for Trump, and gaining MORE POWER for Trump.

- And we know that, to a LIMITED extent, Trump cares about anyone who he can USE to help Trump gain MORE MONEY, and help Trump gain MORE POWER. For example:
> For his wealthy fans, he shows that he “cares” about them by eliminating lots of federal regulations, and by giving them major tax breaks. In return, they give him MUCHO money for his coffers, and he gains BIGLY.
> For his not-so-wealthy fans, he shows that he “cares” about them by giving them crumbs, while he and his wealthy fans take the loaf. And then he cons them into believing that he was watching-out for them, and that he gave them a better deal than he actually did (see *1). In return, they give him their votes, and he gains BIGLY.

Bottom line: Trump does not care about anyone or anything but himself!

*1: To determine if you are getting a good deal or not, it is NOT enough to just look at your pocketbook. Eliminating certain federal regulations can lead to more pollution, which can lead to more disease, which can NEGATIVELY affect you AND your pocketbook, and that is NOT a good deal for you. And major tax breaks for him and his wealthy fans can lead to a larger national debt, which can NEGATIVELY affect you AND your pocketbook, and that is NOT a good deal for you.

Bottom line: Trump’s approach to improve the economy is analogous to a “rob the bank” approach to get rich quick. You will live it up for a while, but later IT WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU. Likewise, creating more pollution and more debt to improve the economy will be good for our pocketbooks for a while, but the pollution and the debt WILL come back to bite us.

The moral to the story: Don’t let Don-the-Con con you!
