Don’t pervert the presidency

-

“Pervert for President in 2024” is really what over 10 million Americans are advocating. ABC News has reported that at least 18 women have accused Donald Trump of sexual misconduct, assault or rape.

Millions of people ignore one of Trump’s ex-wives accusing him of abuse, the “Hollywood Access” tape on which Trump advocates a despicable form of sexual assault, and him paying $130,000 to a porn star weeks before the 2016 election.

Perverts tend to associate with perverts. For years, Trump has modestly approved of the perverse Qanon group. He didn’t recant his endorsemen­t of Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker after several women and Walker’s son accused him of domestic violence or sexual assault. Trump’s buddy Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in prison shortly after being arrested for many years of child sex traffickin­g. Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Trump has repeatedly called global warming a hoax. During the pandemic, he suggested ingesting disinfecta­nt and other quack ideas. He belittled basic health precaution­s like wearing a mask or getting a vaccine. These are perverted ideas that devalue science.

In 2017, Trump condoned a neo-nazi march in Charlottsv­ille, Va. Last month, he dined with a couple of neo-nazis in his Florida home. Nazism is the supreme example of political perversion.

With his scores of scandals and dozens of demeaning words for his neighbors, over 20 million Americans might proclaim that Trump even perverted the cherished essence of Judeo-christian values.
