Politics is a complex business. You have to pay close attention to each happening so that you can understand what is going on and who is the person to focus on? B

eing former President Donald Trump is in the news each day, not every move he makes is significant. But if you took the time to read his Time magazine interview you will easily understand what a threat he is to every American voter.

Let’s start with abortion. Lately, he openly brags about the fact that his Supreme Court appointees are responsible for the repeal of Roe v. Wade.

He is on record that women should be punished for getting an abortion, even if their life is at stake. He added a new twist to this controversy by suggesting that pregnant women should be followed by law enforcement, to make sure they don’t get an abortion.

On the subject of immigrants, he has a simple solution. He wants to create tent camps for 11 million people and conduct a mass deportation. Included in the 11 million are the “Dreamers” who were born here and are considered citizens under the Constitution.

Doesn’t that remind you a little bit of the guy with the mustache back in the 1930’s?

While Mr. Trump is sitting in a Manhattan courtroom attacking the presiding judge on his Truth Social website, four of his closest friends have been indicted by an Arizona grand jury for attempting to steal votes from President Biden in the 2020 election.

They are charged with creating false slates of electors whose ballots were sent to Congress for vote certification. In addition, there are three other states that have indicted so-called Trump electors.

Let’s switch to what could happen after the 2024 elections.

Trump has made it clear that he will do a takeover of the Justice Department and direct them to go after President Joe Biden and his family.

He wants the “Biden crime family” to be indicted unless the Supreme Court grants him immunity. This is nonsensical, but he means what he says.

To add to his serious pledge, he has promised to do mass firings of all federal employees and install all of his people into those positions.

As an Imperial President, he wants a government that answers to him only, even if that means breaking the law. Hundreds of thousands of those people have civil service protection, but under the Trump plan, they will all be fired.

Do you remember what happened on Jan. 6, 2021? Most people do. It was the day that hundreds of so-called Patriots stormed the Capitol and attacked numerous Capitol police, causing the death of four officers.

Trump has restated his pledge to pardon all of the people who were convicted by juries sworn to follow the law. That includes the Proud Boys and other radical groups, who led the crowds into the angry assaults.

Whether or not he gets to stand trial before the election, there are some other criminal cases pending where he is the defendant. That includes unlawful possession of top secret documents, attempting to steal votes in Georgia, and fomenting the Jan.6 insurrection. To date, Mr. Trump has been very successful in delaying those cases, but think about the fact that this man wants to go back to the White House.

Many people have had a tendency to blow off the current New York trial, but it is worth taking a moment to focus on the charges. A former president, who is running for re-election, is alleged to have paid off a porn star and a Playboy bunny, in order to prevent these details from coming out just before the 2016 election.

Do you consider Mr. Trump as the role model for every young man and woman who aspires to be president?

I could spend hours talking about so many warning signs surrounding the Trump candidacy, but his threat to a democracy is as plain as the nose on your face.
