Uncle Joe Needs Some Help

 I am not speechless like many.  I feel the same way I did after taking the Graduate Record Exams.  If I had studied I would have done well.  Joe wasn't prepared.  Considering the circumstances he weathered the storm.  For him to win the election he needs to do better.  How?  The thing that bothered me the most is he had no offense.  For Donald Trump that offense merely is a statement of relevant fact.  The relevant facts for the American people in the case of an incumbent president are simple.  What has President Trump done in three years and eleven months?  One has to use their memory.  The most important fact is the Republicans passed a new tax package.  I don't know the ins and outs of it like most people.  What you will remember is you paid more in federal income taxes after it was passed.  More.  What you should remember is the Republicans reduced the corporate tax rater from thirty-five percent to twenty-three percent.  Depending on your position, left or right, you will have an opinion about this.  My opinion after contemplating the escalated national debt is that Washington needs as much money as they can get adequately to run the country.  How many government shut downs have we had?  There was or will be one shortly.  America is broke.  We are three trillion dollars in debt.  That is debt that belongs to the American people.  Donald Trump hijacked twelve percent of national income from our tax money and handed it to corporations.  It was a gift.  The country is three trillion dollars in debt, and he handed his friends a sizeable monetary bonus at the expense of the American people.  Immediately this should show you his loyalty.  President Trump knew that the Coronavirus was transmitted through air and that the wearing of an appropriate mask markedly could stop transmission of the virus.  Instead of speaking candidly to the American people and telling us we should do such a thing, like a spoiled Greek god he lied and still is reveling in the murder and chaos he created.  He has proven himself a sadist.  According to the New York Times and their reporting on his newly disclosed tax returns, our president is four hundred million dollars in debt.  To whom he is in debt, our president, we do not know.  It should be clear to the American people where his priorities lie.  Does he administrate the country and the federal government in good faith, or does he spend his time trying to recoup lost revenue using the presidency to his advantage in his private business dealings?  My question is this, and it does not support Mr. Trumps assertion that our election process is flawed.  Is popularity good enough to choose the leader of the free world?  Is money good enough to decide?  Would not it be a better choice to choose a leader by their credentials?  Ask former presidents who their favorites presidents were?  Bill Clinton will tell you, because he was interested in government.  He had knowledge of governance.  While I do not agree with many things he did, in my opinion he was qualified to become the American President.  Barak Obama was qualified to become the American President.  They were familiar with the job and its requirements.  It has become apparent that other than appointing federal judges, watching TV, and playing golf, Donald Trump has no time for the real issues of America.  They are boring.  They are beneath him.  Try to formulate an appropriate Covid 19 response and save millions of lives?  Out president chose not to.  "They knew for what they were signing up."  Joe should have said these things.  He should have come to the corral loaded and ready to fire.  Instead he chose to parry Trump's insults.  It was not an effective formula.  Did Joe point out that many of the officials who have worked in the Trump administration have been convicted of felonies and have gone to prison?  He surrounded himself with dubious, dishonest, but loyal worker bees only to die when they left their queen.  The media has reported that Donald Trump has a portion of the Latino vote in spite of the inhumane separating of children from parents at our southern border.  Illegal immigrants still are being held in cages like animals.  These actions are in violation of the Geneva Convention.  Many things Donald Trump has done are illegal, treasonous, and evil.  This is why his followers like him.
