Birds of a feather flock together
The Trump signs, flags, banners and bumper stickers suggest there is some support for Donnie’s person and policies.
As a person, the Donald sired five children from three wives, paid a porn star $130,000 to keep a one-night stand secret, bragged in 2005 on “Access Hollywood” about his groping, “I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. … Grab ’em by the p – – -y.” He was found civilly liable for sexual assault on E. Jean Carroll. He has been accused of attempting non-consensual contact by 28 women. People writer Natasha Stoynoff, who said she fended off Trump’s 2005 attempted assault, said, “He is a predator.”
But if you can hold your nose in spite of Trump’s “family values” and support his policies, then be clear that his policies ballooned the federal deficit by giving permanent massive tax cuts to his billionaire buddies while the measly reduction in taxes for workers expires in 2025. His policies will gut the Affordable Health Care Act, increase costs through 10% tariff on imported goods a 60% tariff on Chinese goods, and imperil national security by weakening our NATO alliance and allow Russia and his pal Putin to prevail in the Ukraine.
Donald’s policy on immigration was displayed on the third night of the Republican Convention with the “Mass Deportation Now” signs. Trump demanded Republicans block the Senate’s bipartisan immigration bill that Republicans helped put together. Trump demonized Springfield, Ohio’s legal Haitian immigrants, many Catholic, falsely accusing them of eating people’s cats and dogs. Now the Ku Klux Klan, who burned a cross in Iron Mountain in 1924, are recruiting in Springfield, calling for mass deportation, the same thing the Trump Republicans demanded.
So, if you support Donald Trump, either as a person or because of his policy, perhaps it’s a good thing you have the red MAGA hats, the banners, the flags and the bumper stickers. It makes it easier to identify the kind of bird you are. Birds of a feather flock together.
