President Elect Biden: 81,283,094 / President Trump: 74,222,017
Joe Biden won a landslide election in both the popular vote and in the idiotic Electoral College. Biden had over 81 million votes while Trump had slightly more than 74 million votes. In the Electoral College, Biden has 306, while Trump has 232. Let’s temporarily ignore the KKK, Nazis, and White Nationalists who love Trump. When some moderate Trump supporters are asked why they voted for such a despicable human being, they go into super rationalization mode. He isn’t a very nice man, but …….. Hello! There is no but. If you don’t like the Dems, then don’t vote. But how can you vote for a man who is human trash and should have never been president of the United States? First, we’ll examine what kind of man Trump is and then we’ll look at his failed policies. Obviously one cannot completely separate these two, but we’ll make a mild effort at doing such.
- Trump is the head of an ALL WHITE REPUBLICAN PARTY which thrives on bigotry, hate, fear, dividing America, and falling for every right wing conspiracy theory known to man.
- Trump is a PATHOLOGICAL LIAR. This attribute by itself should disqualify him from the Presidency.
- He’s been accused of SEXAUAL ASSAULT by 24 different women.
- Trump surrounded himself with an array of CONVICTED FELONS whom he subsequently pardoned.
- He repeatedly called the FREE PRESS “An Enemy of the People“
- He makes cabinet members swear loyalty to him instead of the Constitution.
- Trump never makes America First, it’s always Trump First
- He spent 4 years repeatedly attacking our elite law enforcement agency, the FBI
- He turned the Justice Department into his political law firm
- Trump was impeached for breaking the law. He had a Senate Trial where the prosecution (The Democrats) was not allowed to introduce evidence or call witnesses
- Nobody in the Republican Party is allowed to disagree with him or criticize him
- Trump has been Vladimir’s Puppet for the past 4 years
- Trump admires dictators. He sent LOVE LETTERS to brutal North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un
- Incredibly, Trump somehow convinced more than 74million Americans that he cares about them. Trump doesn’t care about anyone except himself.
Now let’s examine his polices. I’m always bewildered when Trump supporters talk about what he’s done for our country when he’s been a horrible President.
- Despite numerous promises, there was NO HEALTH CARE PLAN. That is the most important issue for many Americans.
- Trump did nothing about Covid-19. While over 350,000 Americans died, he turned it into a political issue. Trump made the most important preventive measure, wearing masks, into a phony constitutional issue. Unfortunately, that resonated big time in Trump World.
- Despite numerous promises, there was no INFRASTRUCTRUE UPGRADE
- Trump signed the 3 largest budgets in U.S. History. What happened to smaller government?
- Under Trump, our Budget Deficit set a record
- Under Trump, our Trade Deficit set a record
- Trump thoroughly alienated our NATO allies
- Trump dropped out of the all important TPP, which was an economic powerhouse set up to counter the economic power of China
- He started a trade war with China, which did serious damage to many of our farmers and all consumers. He implemented TARIFFS, which always fail. What happened to Free Trade and No Tariffs, which were basic core tenets of the Republican Party for decades?
- Trump fanned the flames of racial injustice in America
- As for Covid-19, Trump was a national disgrace. So far, over 350,000 Americans died and there are over 20 million Covid-19 cases. Here’s what Trump did for this national pandemic, while totally ignoring science.
- The virus is a Democratic hoax
- The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
- Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
- Inject BLEACH as a prevention measure for Covid-19
- If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine
- Instead of being a common sense, health & safety logical approach to the pandemic, Trump turned wearing a mask into a constitutional personal freedom issue
- COVID-19 will disappear the day after the election

2020 Presidential Election Analysis
As I’m writing this article on Sunday November 22nd, Joe Biden has almost 80 Million Votes while Trump has almost 74 Million. That’s a 6 million vote advantage, which is more than twice as much as Hillary beat Trump in 2016. In the electoral college, it’s a landslide victory as Joe Bide has 306 Electoral College votes to Trump’s 232. That is a significant 74 vote margin in favor of Biden. However, in the alternate reality of Trump World, they are describing this as a close election. Unbelievable!
The most terrifying aspect of this election is not Trump’s refusal to acknowledge his loss, it’s fact that Republicans support Trump 100% with his baseless allegations of fraud and abuse. In Michigan, Republicans refused to validate the votes from Wayne County, which includes Detroit and is predominantly black. They are acting as if this is 1960 and we are in the deep south states of Mississippi and Alabama where blacks routinely lost their right to vote. This is disgusting, and except for Mitt Romney, nobody in the Republican party is standing up to this horrific attack on our democracy.
Trump lost the key battleground states Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia because of the black vote. Arizona was close, and in my opinion, Trump lost that red state because of his repeated brutal attacks on war hero John McCain. Once again, nobody in the Republican Party stood up to Trump for his disgusting comments about the man.
Another big factor was the number of longtime Republican moderates who voted for Biden. They are people who put country before party [Lincoln Project] and I have tremendous respect for them. I saw a preliminary number, but I have no confidence in the accuracy. The article said 4% of Republicans voted for Hillary in 2016, but that number rose to 11% this year who voted for Biden. That may not sound like a huge shift, but it is, especially in the suburbs of large cities. On the downside, almost 74 million people voted for a man who is:
- A pathological liar
- Someone who insults everyone who disagrees with him or criticizes him seven days a week
- A man who surrounded himself with Convicted Felons
- No Healthcare plan, which is the number one priority for many voters
- A man who broke his promise for a major infrastructure upgrade
- Record Budget and Trade Deficits
- He became Vladimir’s puppet, fulfilling the role of a “Useful Idiot” for the Russians
- His trade war severely damaged many American farmers
- His non-stop attacks on the FBI and his takeover of the Justice Department were a blow to democracy
- A man who never came close to fulfilling his promise of a great health insurance plan. There was no plan and he tried to destroy Obamacare.
- As for Covid-19, Trump was a national disgrace. So far, over a quarter of a million Americans died and there are over 11 million Covid-19 cases. Here’s what Trump did for this national pandemic
- The virus is a Democratic hoax
- The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
- Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
- Inject BLEACH as a prevention measure for Covid-19
- If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine
- Instead of being a common sense, health & safety logical approach to the pandemic, Trump turned wearing a mask into a constitutional personal freedom issue
- COVID-19 will disappear the day after the election
Trump obviously ignored the science, turned the pandemic into a political issue, and instead of uniting Americans, he divided them by pitting his base against the rest of the country. Even worse, he cares far more about the stock market than so many people getting sick and/or dying.
I’m sure nobody outside of Trump World is surprised by his refusal to acknowledge the loss and his attempt to totally undermine our democracy. Watch carefully to see if any Republicans stand up and put the country and our democracy ahead of their blind loyalty to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump had an opportunity to do what normal American presidents do in a national crisis, and that is, bring the country together. The President is in a unique position where he/she can rally our people, get us unified so we can fight a battle against our enemy as one nation. That’s exactly what happened against the Nazis and Japanese in WW II. But true to form, Trump made the Corona Virus a political issue with him at the center. Are you surprised? In his small mind, Trump thought he could handle the crisis by making a series of unsubstantiated claims. In other words, ignore science in an attempt to make himself look good and pretend he had everything under control. But there was just one big problem, the virus wasn’t listening to him.
Remember when Trump made the following brilliant comment?
- The virus is a Democratic Hoax
- The virus is under “Tremendous Control”
- Everything will return to normal by Easter Sunday
- Drink bleach as a preventive measure for Covid-19
- If you get the virus, take hydroxychloroquine.
If the above wasn’t bad enough, Trump compounded the problem by turning Covid-19 into a political issue, as opposed to a national health crisis. Trump, and then his political ally, Fox, manipulated the issue of social distancing and wearing masks. Instead of perceiving them as common-sense techniques to slow down the spread of the deadly virus, Trump and his allies turned them into phony constitutional issues. That’s right, the government has no right to make you wear a mask during pandemic or to prevent large groups of people from getting together. As a result, millions of Americans who reside in the alternate reality of Trump World, defied the advice of scientists and doctors, making the crisis far worse than it needed to be.Trump didn’t stop there.
He sees his number one hope for re-election in the state of our economy. Therefore, instead of closing down major components of the economy as recommended by our health experts from the CDC, Trump encouraged governors to open up their states for normal business. We saw what happened. Instead of the spread of the virus slowing down, it intensified and set records in many states during early July.
Trump’s approval ratings for Covid-19 are horrendous, will Americans remember when election day arrives in November?

60 Minutes went beyond their normal standards of excellence on June 28, 2020. Their report covered two related areas, the role played by trillions of bacteria in our gut and the process of adding probiotics to our food.
First, they talked about the bacteria in your gut and what it does. Most people, including me, thought it merely helps digest food. That’s true, but it does a lot more than merely aiding digestion, including the creation of vitamins, amino acids, and interaction with your immune system. We learned there is no common gut bacteria, that every individual has their own complex set of trillions of bacteria in their guts. I think you should research this fascinating subject because it has immense potential for treating serous health issues in the future. For example, scientists are looking at the possibilities of:
- Transferring bacteria from a thin person to an obese individual
- Transferring bacteria from a healthy person to a sick individual
After establishing the above, they analyzed adding probiotics to a variety of foods, which is very common today. What impact does it have or doesn’t have on your health? Probiotics are a hot commodity, as they are added to a variety of foods, including baby food. 60 Minutes spoke with the leading experts in the field and a research team from Israel. They learned that probiotics are a fascinating area of research, but at this point in time, very little is known about them and/or how they work. They concluded that adding probiotics to food has no known advantages, and it’s possible, it could be somewhat harmful. But nobody has any proof that it helps or hurts in any way because so much about probiotics is still an unknown. More long-term studies are needed. But they do know that any health benefit statements you read on a package are not true. This includes adding probiotics to baby food.
The Israeli study was fascinating because they were trying to ascertain exactly what probiotics, added to food, does when they make it to your gut. Guess what they learned? They couldn’t answer the question one way or the other because they learned that probiotics added to food never makes it to its intended destination in your gut. They thought adding probiotics to your body would have some kind of impact, but they learned it just passes through your system. In sum, it doesn’t have a positive or negative impact, it has no impact. That was fascinating because very often scientists with a pre-conceived outcome miraculously prove what they believed all along. In this case, the results contradicted what they expected to find. However, the scientists still believe there’s tremendous potential in studying the complex world of probiotics and gut bacteria.
There was one other area they briefly talked about and that were the many claims of individuals who believed adding probiotics to their food proved to be beneficial. The scientists attributed that belief to the infamous “Placebo Effect”.
