7 Foreign policy reasons to reject Trump in this election.

1. Trump praises dictators like Putin and Erdogan, devaluing and insulting our allies, and undermining NATO.

2. Our Kurdish allies fought ISIS for us in Syria (losing 11,000 men to our 7 men). Then Trump abandoned them to help Russia and Turkey by greenlighting Erdogan’s invasion, which left at least 200 dead and 170,000 displaced from their homes.

3. Trump has held several meetings with Putin (not to mention umpteen phone calls) and gone to great lengths to conceal the details, including confiscating the translator’s notes and providing no read-out to U.S. officials. Isn’t this a violation of the Presidential Records Act?

4. Trump shared highly classified intelligence gathered by a U.S. ally, Israel, with the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov and Sergey I. Kislyak, Moscow’s Ambassador to the United States, during an Oval Office meeting from which U.S. journalists were barred...

... and only a Russian photographer allowed in.

5. Trump jeopardized a U.S. intelligence source in Moscow, who then had to be pulled out because of Trump’s carelessness.

6. Trump is embarrassing this great nation of ours in front of the world with his incoherent rants in front of foreign leaders.

7. Trump is attempting to withdraw troops from Afghanistan without a single concession from the Taliban—just like he gave North Korea's leader equal stature with the U.S. and stopped joint exercises with South Korea without a single concession.

He's caved to Putin, Erdogan, Mohammad Bin Salman, Xi Jinping, and Assad as well. And he's supposed to be a great negotiator?

Six more reasons to vote against Trump

1. Trump hid in his bunker then had peaceful protestors attacked with tear gas outside the White House so he could have a photo op in front of a church.

2. Trump has exacerbated race relations, maligning Black Lives Matter protestors and dismissing calls for justice, while comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln.

3. Trump has continued to promote dangerous conspiracy theories in an effort to delegitimize the U.S. election. As a redux to his racist birther conspiracy against President Obama, he has launched new racist attacks against Democratic Vice Presidential Nominee Kamala Harris.

Why Trump has to go...

1. Trump has called both COVID19 and climate change “a hoax” -- which science has proved it certainly is not!

2. Trump used an unapproved, experimental drug derived from fetal tissue, lifesaving research that might have saved his life. His Administration is against that research and is trying to outlaw it now with the forced confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

3. Trump has a real problem with women and has no respect for them. He shows that time again by calling them names if they don’t agree with him or if they ask a question he does not like. He cannot deal with women who have opinions. Too bad since we are 51% of the electorate!

Trump says we have to vote for him or the economy will suffer. It’s another of his con jobs. Just look at the lies he’s told about the the American economy and middle class opportunity.

1. Trump promised to replace the ACA with something better. He came up with nothing.

2. He promised to never cut social safety nets. But his 2020 budget cuts the social safety net, like Medicare.

3. Trump promised to revive manufacturing. Under his leadership it has slowed and stalled with his trade war.
