He is destroying our country [View all]

Last edited Tue Oct 14, 2025, 09:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Why can't he be stopped legally? He went out of his way to ignore rules and laws to get his way. So far, he has succeeded. He just ignore the rules and laws and does whatever he wants. When they say fight fire with fire, perhaps it's time for the citizens of this great country to start ignoring rules and laws too. Someway, somehow, we have to get law and order back from this gross negligence.

Just today, I talked to a few democratic friends of mine. They were actually crying, saying "He's destroying our country". That is a true fact!!! Trump has turned his extreme narcissism and ignorance into a daily habit for him. It makes him happy to destroy others. And he somehow gets by with it. Since when is the office of the president allowed to grift on the American people while in office? Imagine Obama selling fake watches and guitars? NOT!!!! And when is it acceptable to allow a president to be a felon, rapist, con man? The list goes on and on.

Someone in power had better put this shit to an end legally. Yesterday would be fine.

One thing for sure, he has corrupted the DOJ, FBI, Supreme Court, and many others in power. Just look at all the fools that kiss his ring. His minions have more respect for one person(huge mistake), than the entire population and the constitution this country stands for. That in itself, is insane. Yet, we still allow it. Why? What aren't the people in power stopping this corruption?

I'm, not smart enough to figure out a fix for this, but if something isn't done soon, democracy will not come back for decades, if it comes back at all.

I suggest we document all the things Trump has done to create the corruption in our country. When we get in power again, write amendments to make sure this never happens again. A president should never have the power to do what he has done. We can start with no felons and rapists allowed here! You would be immediately disqualified.

I don't know the answer and am looking for some type of resolution to make this all go away.

I want my country back. My 1 vote in a red state is not going to do the trick.
