🇺🇸The media has become numb and impotent in handling the worst candidate in the history of US elections.
It’s time for the media to step up and do their job.
🧵that question why the media isn’t demanding Donald Trump to drop out!?
1/25

Trump's character is marred by a history of narcissism, deceit, and disrespect. His derogatory comments about women, minorities, and even his opponents reflect a personality unfit for leadership.
Why is not any major news outlets or pundits asking him to drop out? 🤔
2/25

Character: The infamous Access Hollywood tape revealed Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women, saying he can "grab them by the pussy." Such statements are beyond reprehensible. This should still be a reason for the media to be calling for his withdrawal. 🚫
3/25

Character: Trump called fallen soldiers in Normandy "suckers & losers." This profound disrespect for those who gave their lives for the country is appalling. Veterans deserve better; Trump should step aside. 🇺🇸
4/25

Character: Trump called John McCain "not a war hero" because he was captured. This blatant disrespect for a POW who served his country is disgraceful. He is not worthy of being in the race. 😡
5/25

Character: Trump mocked disabled reporter Serge Kovaleski during a rally, showing a shocking lack of empathy and respect for people with disabilities. Such behavior is unbecoming of any leader.
Time to step down. 😠
6/25

Character: How Trump shoved away Montenegro Prime Minister Dusko Markovic at a NATO summit serves as an example of what an arsehole he is and the disrespect he has for other people.
He is an embarrassment for the US internationally. 🌍
7/25

Competence & Stupidity: Trump’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic was disastrous. His downplaying of the virus and promotion of unproven treatments, including suggesting the use of bleach as a cure, led to preventable deaths.
Why is he still in the race? 🦠
8/25

Recently, Trump gave a bizarre speech, discussing battery-powered boats and sharks. He imagined a scenario where passengers chose between electrocution and shark attack, showcasing a lack of coherence and relevance.
Such incoherence is a red flag. 🚩

Competence & Stupidity: Trump proposed raking forests to prevent wildfires, an idea widely mocked by experts for its lack of understanding of forest management.
His lack of knowledge on many subjects is alarming.
He should withdraw his candidacy. 🌲
10/25

Competence & Stupidity: Trump claimed that windmills cause cancer, a baseless and ridiculous assertion that was widely debunked. His spreading of misinformation undermines trust in scientific facts.
He should bow out gracefully. 💨
11/25

Trump's presidency lacked significant achievements in key areas such as jobs, infrastructure, manufacturing, and foreign policy. He left a nation with little progress.
Trump needs to be confronted as the worst President in the history of the US. 🔧
12/25

Policies: Trump's immigration policies, notably the family separation policy, were condemned globally for their cruelty and inhumanity. This is not who we are.
He will do it again. He should step down from the race. 🏠
13/25

Policies: His attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act would have stripped millions of Americans of their healthcare. Such disregard for public welfare is unacceptable.
He has no new plan and It's time for him to step aside. 🏥
14/25

Policies: Trump’s environmental policies, including rolling back regulations and withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, have set back efforts to combat climate change and protect our planet.
For a sustainable future, the media should as him not to run. 🌎
15/25

Policies: His trade wars, particularly with China, harmed American farmers and businesses, leading to economic instability.
These actions should prompt calls for his withdrawal from the race. 🌾
16/25

Policies: Trump is bragging about being responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade and attacking reproductive rights, voting laws, and more.
If someone’s not asking him to drop out, this alone should be a reason to vote blue down ballot. 🔵
17/25

Trump faces multiple criminal indictments, including charges related to election interference and the Espionage Act.
He is also found guilty in the hush money trial.
Such legal issues should automatically disqualify him.
It's time for the media to ask him to leave the race. ⚖️

Crimes: A jury found him guilty of sexual assault in the E. Jean Carroll case, raising serious ethical and moral concerns. There are also claims from other women and serious allegations regarding the Epstein case. Someone with such a record should not run for office. 🚨
19/25

Crimes: Trump faces numerous legal challenges, including the Trump Organization's conviction for tax fraud, a $25 million settlement in the Trump University civil lawsuit, and the dissolution of the Trump Foundation.
For the sake of integrity, he should step aside. 💼
20/25

Crimes: Trump’s financial scandals, including profiting from his presidency, highlight a blatant disregard for ethical standards.
Why isn’t he confronted with this when he talk to the media or in debates?💰
21/25

Crimes: His abuse of power when he attempted to coerce Ukraine into investigating a political rival showcased his willingness to undermine democracy for personal gain. He should not be running for office again. 🇺🇦
22/25

Crimes: Trump's handling of sensitive national security documents and his willingness to show them to unauthorized individuals pose a grave threat to national security.
For the safety of the US and the world, he should not be allowed to be a candidate. 🔒
23/25

The accumulation of character flaws, incompetence, harmful policies, and criminal allegations paints a clear picture.
For the sake us all, the media must relentlessly question and follow up during debates and interviews.
The convicted felon Trump needs to drop out.
