It’s too bad that President Donald Trump has no moral spine when it comes to serving the public, but has a will of steel when it comes to serving himself and his family.
Trump’s attacks against alleged drug dealers in Central and South America and especially from Venezuela is driven by hypocrisies, not by principle of protection of our people.
And the President, whose many flaws include misogyny and personally disrespecting women, has no shame in taking actions to strengthen the financial interests of his family.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is accused of ordering the killing of survivors from a Sept. 2, 2025 boat strike in the Caribbean killing two men clinging to attack wreckage.
While Hegseth denied issuing a “kill them all” order, calling news reports “fake news,” the White House confirmed a second strike occurred, blaming it on Commanding Admiral Frank M. Bradley.
Bradley said all on the boat were confirmed criminal drug dealers, though no proof has ever been presented.
That’s something new in America, the need not to prove anything in a court of law, saying it enough apparently makes it true enough for their polarized lemmings. The killings are war crimes.
What Trump is seeking is to start a war, to justify his suspension of elections in 2028 to stay in office.
The hypocrisy was blinding when on Nov. 28, Trump announced he would pardon convicted former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez. He did that Dec. 1.
Hernandez served as president from 2014 until 2022. Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted in March 2024 on three charges: Drug trafficking (conspiracy to import cocaine), conspiracy to use machine guns, and conspiracy to possess machine guns.
He was specifically convicted for conspiring to import cocaine into the United States and using firearms to further that enterprise. Hernandez was tried in New York and found guilty in March 2024. He was sentenced to 45 years in June 2024.
But that wasn’t all. Trump also pardoned on Oct. 23 Cryptocurrency Binance founder Changpeng Zhao. Trump claimed Zhao was the victim of a Biden administration “witch hunt.”
Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) had significant business ties with the Trump family’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial, with Binance supporting their stablecoin and an investment fund using it to invest $2 billion into Binance, leading to potential tens of millions in earnings for the Trump family
Some people might argue that voting for Trump in the first place was the problem. That’s not true. The real problem is we haven’t had any inspirational, visionary or principled choices to attract enough support to win an election. Only the worst have made it to the election lead.
In every election, voters are given a choice to do their best to choose which candidate is the “better,” because in recent years the choices have not been good at all.
In 2016, Trump was always a better choice than Hillary Clinton, an entitled hypocrite. I am personally nauseated by her continued efforts to reframe herself. The best choice was Senator Bernie Sanders, a truly principled public servant who was shoved out of the election, and I voted for Trump.
In 2020, Trump appeared to be worse than Joe Biden, but Biden’s campaign lied to us about his failing cognitive abilities, which seriously weakened his presidency, far worse than the challenges faced by President Ronald Reagan. I voted for Biden.
And in 2024, Trump was clearly better than Biden’s Vice President, Kamala Harris, who just couldn’t commit to anything more concerned about angering political groups than fighting for principle. Dr. Jill Stein was the far better choice, who I voted for.
In other words, you can’t just criticize Trump and Republicans for being selfish, while not criticizing the Democrats equally. We’re in this mess because Trump has turned the GOP into a cult, while Democrats have turned themselves into jellyfish with selective moral spines.
Americans need a new election system that levels the financial playing fields so that principled and moral candidates can compete with the politically corrupt insiders who work for the wealthy and for their own profit and wealth.
We also need to require that every candidate gets the same exposure including participating in all debates.
Limiting spending and ensuring all have the same public exposure are critical to find principled candidates to lead this nation for the people, instead of for themselves.
Finally, Trump’s description of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar as “Garbage” is a disgrace and embarrassment to Americans. If we can prosecute drug dealers, then let’s prosecute immoral presidents like Trump.
