Trump must be removed

The fellow who is called president just publicly called a lady reporter “piggy.”  I’m glad the media had the respect to not show her. 
A few years ago that president publicly ridiculed and mimicked a disabled reporter in a wheelchair. 
I can only try to imagine how much pain the president must live with, that it’s so intense it’s turned into hatred.  When being president of the United States, you are an employee of the people, and you’re expected to answer questions of, by and for the people. It’s just part of the job description.
A leader must be someone we look up to, someone who has good qualities that others wish they had, and strive for.  Instead we have a leader, supported by a third of our people, who is so obviously in a very deep, dark hole, a place with no heart. 
Why would people give up their own hearts to be like him? It’s like seeing someone without an arm or with only one eye, and severing our own arm, or poking out one eye, to be just like them.
Some would like to follow the philosopher Jesus at the same time, yet Jesus is the polar opposite of this fellow.  You can’t follow both at the same time.  Something can’t be black and white simultaneously.
A person can be in a bad place, one with no heart. Most humans like to be equal with others around them. We can rise to their level, or we can pull them down to ours. It takes effort, but some people try to enjoy being broken.

Watch out Venezuela

A “communist,” a “Marxist,” a “socialist” have all been used to try and describe Zohran Mamdani. Yet it wasn’t a communist, Marxist or socialist government that murdered more than a million innocent Muslims in the Middle East the past 25 years in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. It was a capitalist Democratic government led by Christians. “Wars” by the United States upon defenseless Muslims.
Who should the world really fear, Mamdani or the free-market capitalists in Washington who enjoy doing endless “wars” upon defenseless people. It is not the communists or the Marxists or the socialists that are going to start another fake “war” upon defenseless innocents – watch out Venezuela, you’re next. The capitalists have their eye on all your oil wealth.
