Donald Trump, Lesser Evil

Admire Trump?!

I tell my children that Trump is a thorough rasha, guilty of violating most of the sheva mitzvot, and possessed of terrible middos. But that is easy to discern. What makes Trump different is that even though all of the other politicians/celebrities are just as guilty, they are able to somehow not broadcast everything that crosses their minds, and are therefore able to fool us, and most importantly, when he had power, he did much less than everyone else in a similar position to harm ordinary citizens. I can not fathom why I had friends who celebrated Biden’s election. Was Trump worse than any of these cretins? Is Biden any better? I have never celebrated anyone’s election, and anyone who does shows that he is too biased to, for example, give a decent halachic opinion that touches on current issues.

ANN COULTER On 2000 Mules: Dinesh D’Souza’s Stupid Movie

As much as I’m enjoying the January 6th committee’s careful assembly of evidence proving former President Trump is a douchebag, I wasn’t seeing much in the way of a criminal offense until this week’s underreported story about how Trump used his “STOP THE STEAL” fundraising appeals to grift his supporters out of $250 million, none of which was, in fact, used to fight election fraud.

It didn’t even go to the poor saps who got themselves arrested at the Capitol on Jan. 6. Instead, the $250 million seems to have been funneled exclusively to Trump businesses, family and friends.

And let’s not forget Steve Bannon’s “We Build the Wall” swindle; Trump sending out a fundraising appeal to raise funds for his new private plane; and a Trump-affiliated organization paying Kimberly Guilfoyle $60,000 to give a two-minute speech on Jan. 6 (introducing her fiancé, Don Jr.). Every time you think you have your arms fully around Trump’s con, you realize it’s unfathomably more cynical and far-reaching than you could have imagined.

Is there anyone in Trump World who isn’t trying to fleece the Deplorables? Haven’t they suffered enough?

Which brings me to Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2,000 Mules. The movie tells Trump diehards (a dwindling crowd) that their man probably DID win the 2020 election!
