A Rather Long List Of Reasons Not To Vote For Trump

This entry is part 11 of 11 in the series Donald Trump

The following list of reasons to not vote for Trump was pulled out of a single website article, listed next.

The full list of 100 reasons to vote NO on Trump

When I came across this website article, and I reasoned that I could not do any better.  So I picked out only some items that I felt had good reasons, valid and punch.

Please help protect the United States to remain a Democracy!   Vote Democratic.
Following is a long list of alleged reasons why Trump is unfit to be president:

  • “A major league narcissist, probably a sociopath …”
  • Some “seeing him as a megalomaniac.”
  • “Some see him as delusional,…”
  • “ His position on health care reform is so vapid that it amounts to gibberish.”
  • “He is the definition of inconsistency.”
  • “ A loose cannon, who throws out outrageous positions.”
  • “Specializing in personal attacks, he insults and demeans.”
  • Trump “has a language deficit and a limited vocabulary. Some experts put his language at 6th grade level.  He specializes in incomplete sentences.”
  • “His combination of tax cuts and spending proposals would sharply increase the federal debt.”
  • “ His focus is always on doing whatever it takes to win, not on doing the right thing.”
  • “ He has disrespected multiple women in a coarse manner.”
  • “With disapproval ratings of nearly 70% of the overall electorate, he will a hard time being elected president.”
  • “He blurted in a debate that he would condone torture of terrorist suspects and the killing of their family members, both violations of international law.”
  • “Trump has trouble with math.”
  • “Trump called the North Atlanta Treaty Organization (NATO) “obsolete”.
  • “Trump uses mockery as a standard form of insult.”
  • “When he makes a big goof, he doesn’t correct it.”
  • “Some of his statements are so absurd…”
  • “ He wants to be unpredictable…”
  • “He is self-destructive.”
  • “His facts are so off as to be absurd.”
  • “He confuses reality and image…”
  • “Trump cheats at golf, big time.”
  • “His flip-flps on issues keeps growing in number.”
  • “Whether he fully intends it or not, his campaign brings out the dark side of the American electorate,…”
  • “He is sketchy on conservation and the environment.”
  • “He fear mongers on alleged American weaknesses and vulnerabilities and uses McCarthyism tactics to smear his opponents.”
  •  “Trump’s “attention span was so limited that it is impossible to discuss problems with him in any detail.”
  • “Trump is uncoachable.”
  • “Trump’s attention span is so short that it left him with “a stunning level of superficial knowledge and plain ignorance.”
  • ““I genuinely believe that if Trump wins and gets the nuclear codes, there is an excellent possibility that it will lead to the end of civilization.”
  • “None of the 45 economists who have advised the past eight presidents, Republican and Democrat, support Trump.” “… things could be worse. And I fear they would be under Mr. Trump.”
  • “Grossly under-prepared for the critical debate, he broke all the rules, interrupting and overriding his opponent and moderator repeatedly. His disorderly mind caused him to miss the point of questions. In short, he covers up for an undisciplined mind with bluster, repetition and theatrics.”
  • “He is oblivious to the truth”

When I started researching news sources I was surprised to find a number of web sites that presented large page boxes showing where major sources fit within their box according to horizontal and vertical criteria – rather clever!  You can view some different website boxes next.

WEBSITES THAT REVIEW NEWS SOURCES.  THE RESULTS ARE SHOWN IN PART BY SHOWING YOU GRAPHICAL BOXES – CLEVER:

 

SELECTED NEWS SOURCES:

  • MSNBC. “MSNBC is a news and political commentary organization that has been the focus of several controversies. It has been accused by academics, media figures, political figures, and watchdog groups of having various biases in their news coverage as well as more general views of a liberal bias. Most of these controversies took place during the 2008–2015 era.” Wikipedia. MSNBC is Score Card’s favorite evening new show because it is dedicated to protecting Democracy and thus not supporting Donald Trump

 

RECOMMEND PODCASTS:
The following list of podcasts does NOT come from any independent source but from this blogger, Score Card.  There are so many podcasts that it is hard to make recommendations based on independent reviews.

 

NOT RECOMMEND AND ALLEGEDLY FLAWED NEWS SOURCES:

  • FOX NEWS.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News
    “Fox News has been characterized as a propaganda outlet. Its coverage has included biased reporting in favor of the Republican Party, its politicians, and conservative causes, while portraying the Democratic Party in a negative light.  Critics have argued that the channel is damaging to the integrity of news overall.[“. Wikipedia
  • SINCLAIR BROADCASTING GROUP
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinclair_Broadcast_Group
    “The company is the second-largest television station operator in the United States by number of stations.”
    “The company has been criticized by journalists and media analysts for requiring its stations to broadcast packaged video segments and its news anchors to read prepared scripts that contain pro-Trump editorial content, including warnings about purported “fake news” in mainstream media, while Trump has tweeted support for watching Sinclair over CNN and NBC.”

Truth Social has been described as an alt-tech[4][5][6] social media platform. Such platforms are popular among the alt-right, far-right, and others who espouse extremism or fringe theories, often because they employ less stringent content moderation than mainstream platforms.”

Review by FORBES John Brandon, Senior Contributor. “I Finally Tested Donald Trump’s ‘Truth Social’ App And Here’s What I Discovered:  it’s essentially Twitter for conservatives, my one big surprise is that it appears to be an app designed to promote a future Trump campaign.”

 

NEWS BIAS STUDIES:

Knight Foundation study

“PERCEIVED ACCURACY AND BIAS IN THE NEWS MEDIA”

Are news organizations biased such that they promote an outcome that their customers should buy into?  This study definitely proves that this IS the case!  This study seems to say that each individual who has a political bias then views each news sources as biased to follow their political group.

https://knightfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/KnightFoundation_AccuracyandBias_Report_FINAL.pdf (38 pages)

This study really covers how different groups of individuals who fall within a group of right vs left viewpoints believe each news organization is biased in a direction that their group believes..  And, gosh the differences are revealing!  Below is only one example of the study’s presentation.

EXAMPLE:

    • DEMOCRATS RATED MOST OF THE MAJOR NEWS ORGANIZATIONS AS BEING ACCURATE, EXCEPT FOR FOX NEWS AND BREITBART NEWS.
    • REPUBLICANS RATED MOST OF THE MAJOR NEWS ORGANIZATIONS AS INACCURATE, EXCEPT FOR FOX NEWS, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL AND BREITBART NEWS

This might help explain why the support for President Biden and Donald Trump is so close to being equal.  Truth fails to prevail because too many Americas fail to understand what the truth is and maybe fail to value truth.

Trump Is Not Qualified

Trump Is Not Qualified

Comments 0 Comment

I researched why Donald Trump might not be qualified to be the next president of the United States.  This blog article offers the reader some solid proof that Trump is not qualified.  There is quite a long list of web sites covering this issue.  I was first impressed with a USNEWS article, which I believe changed their original article.

Not Qualified to Be President

Donald Trump is the presumptive GOP nominee but is not presidential material.

For some reason, the article may have changed from just being a list that I copied and used to a more politically safe article.  I then used the Bulwork article shown below to provide you, the reader, a list view.

100 Reasons Trump Is Unfit to Be President  A timeline of Trump outrages. 

Bias Rating: RIGHT-CENTER
Factual Reporting: HIGH
Country: USA
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: Medium Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: HIGH CREDIBILITY

 

I decided to pick only items that I wished to include in this blog piece that I got from the USNEWS article.  They are shown/listed below.  I then added web site pages under each claim made against Trump that attempted to prove each claim.  And, let me tell you, for each listed item you can find a LOT of support for that viewpoint!

 

 

Our President Has Always Degraded Women — And We’ve Always Let Him

  • “Trump does not care how outrageous his statements or policy suggestions are because he is channeling the country’s anger, not their common sense.”

‘No Blame?’ ABC News finds 54 cases invoking ‘Trump’ in connection with violence, threats, alleged assaults.

  • “insults he has thrown at his opponents and their families like a school yard bully. If you did this in the workplace you would be fired.”

The 598 People, Places and Things Donald Trump Has Insulted on Twitter: A Complete List

  • “He would be clueless when entering the Oval Office, who has spent zero time thinking about the substance of governing, who knows nothing about what he would confront his first day in office.”

Trump’s Clueless Abdication of Presidential Responsibility

  • “At the end of the day, this is the dumbing down of American politics.”

Donald Trump and the dumbing of America

  • “the debasement of our democracy”

Donald Trump’s Debasement of American Democracy

  • “the unraveling of not only the Republican Party but what we have, for over two centuries, called leadership.”

The Fall of Trump: Unraveling the Fabric of the Republican Party

 

  • Donald Trump is not qualified to be president

Donald Trump Should be Disqualified

 

  • “he has neither the knowledge nor the temperament to fill that office.”

Donald Trump has no grasp of what it means to be president

  • “His views are dangerous, destructive and demeaning.”

Trump’s racist policies have been even worse than we feared

  • “There is no other way to put it: Donald Trump would be a disaster as president. There would be absolutely nothing “great” about his presidency.”

A 2nd Trump presidency would be a disaster for America. And it might not end there.

 

SUMMARY: “Donald Trump is not qualified to be president, he has neither the knowledge nor the temperament to fill that office. His views are dangerous, destructive and demeaning. There is no other way to put it: Donald Trump would be a disaster as president. There would be absolutely nothing “great” about his presidency.”

SCORE CARD’S RESPONSE, May 30, 2024, FROM HEARING THE TRUMP TRIAL VERDICT.

Comments 0 Comment
This entry is part 10 of 11 in the series Donald Trump

Following is a list of how I felt hearing Thursday May 30, 2024 that Donald trump was convicted on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the New York hush money trial:

  • I totally did not expect the outcome!  I was incredibly surprised!
  • I was really surprised that all 34 counts were voted against Trump.
  • I expected at least one juror to find him not guilty.  I was truly respectful for each juror for coming up with this terrific surprise outcome!
  • I had expected Trump to win acquittal, in total.
  • I was really impressed with the New York trial process.  It is really comforting to see a legal system someplace working in the United States!  In contrast, in my mind, the  U.S. “Supreme” Court is a disaster and it’s participants should be removed!
  • After viewing news reports of his many goose stepping followers using Trump techniques such as listed below that the United States just might be on the road of becoming a diminished Democracy.  Here is my list of scenes that Trump uses to gain some support for himself and also used by his followers, that now proved to not work (thank God):
    • Lies.
    • Fabrications.
    • Embellishments of his accomplishments.
    • Attacking opponents to build a wall to protect himself.
    • Blame others to deflect self incrimination.
    • Promoting fear against minorities which is a typically used tool by terrible politicians to split society apart.
    • Using black or white outcomes (lies) to describe current social situations (some times works in favor of the dictator).  A lot of our life situations lie in the gray area or the in-between.  It is up to each of us to discern the importance of where the truth and facts reside.
    • Trump tried to build a cult like following and to some degree it worked with the stupid.
    • Trump is a real life entertainer who writes his own scripts to enhance himself.

Right after I wrote and posted Donald Trump Score Card I wanted to post a score card for President Biden.  My immediate research was a bit shocking because the web sites that I visited seemed to diminish the importance of Biden.  How could this be?   I got to think that because Biden was president for a longer time than Trump and done way more than Trump that there might be more instances of failed effort.  I had no solution until I went to my local Barnes & Noble Book Store and just by luck spotted a magazine that I had never seen before, Washington Monthly (Special Spring Books Issue) April/May 2024.  This magazine title showed “Who Got More Done? The Monthly’s presidential accomplishment index”.   That title sold me instantly!  I purchased the magazine without opening it up and when I got home I immediately used my computer to look up the reputation of Washington Monthly.  I was impressed.

I then open the magazine and turn to the page “Introduction:  Who Got The More Done?,  page 8.  and was immediately pleased to see a graphic showing how Biden ranked against Trump.

TRUMP +3

BIDEN. +14

 

I am really impressed with this magazine publication.
