I discovered, because of a Facebook friend, that there is a word that has existed for centuries called Trumpery that fits Donald Trump in both name and meaning. The key meaning of this word is worthless and nonsense. The corruption of the Trump presidency is widely known by now and the apocalyptic ending on January 6th, 2021, is in the rear-view mirror. Yet his current behavior is astounding and mind-blowing. He continues to catapult his “Big Lie” about the 2020 election being stolen to audiences in Arizona, Wyoming, to name a few, of his gullible hoax driven supporters on a weekly basis. Many Americans know his words are worthless, without credibility or facts, but he remains a sabotaging political figure to our democracy
Trump continues to defy gravity as he continues his poisonous “Big Lie”, without being arrested, for his coup attempt. The insanity on Fox News continues as they still support this disgusting jaw-dropping assault on our democracy by calling the January 6th insurrection a hoax. Meanwhile the January 6th committee continues to uncover the astonishing hidden facts about that day with avid former Trump republican supporters leading the way. The release of information about the 3 hours that Trump, to the horror of the nation, and in incredible dereliction of duty fashion, did nothing to save our capital from a terrorist attack.
So back to Trumpery, it describes to us the entire legacy of the Trump administration, they did very little for the country except to disgrace us. Trump put in his own un experienced people who had no business running a government and recked a lot of great public policies and institutions from the DOJ, Transportation, to Education departments, it was a complete disaster (one of Trump’s favorite sayings). Trump is not only worthless, but he was full of nonsense. Every press conference and podium visit was a pain to watch and provided content only for SNL. He’s a TV actor who did that gig because he failed at his own businesses.
Before, during and after Trump’s presidency, he’s always telegraphed every corrupt secret deed that he and his associates were doing, by blaming it on his opponent (right out of Hitler’s playbook). First thing he did was announced the election was fixed, as if he didn’t win in 2016. That makes me believe he stole the 2016 election and a lot of evidence including his actions after the 2020 election proves that is probably right. Congress had an opportunity to prevent January 6th, 2021, from happening by impeaching Trump the first time, and they completely failed us on political lines and their fear of Trump, leaving their duty to this country and the constitution behind.
I created a graphic timely of the events leading up to and becoming January 6th in my book called, Insurrection Day, available on Amazon. I’m a never Trumpery person and still can’t believe voters let us all down by voting for him. So, it all comes down to Trumpery in the end, and I hope we have all learned that fact. Trump should not and cannot ever get close to the White House again.
