Trump is a psychopathic criminal cult leader in league with foreign powers and money lenders, backed by a corrupt, compromised party and a propaganda media network. If unstopped, he will criminalize dissent and embrace authoritarianism.
Here's a thread laying it all out: (1/9)
To truly understand Trump and the danger he represents, we need to first diagnose his psychiatric condition. He's not just a narcissist. As @DutytoInform explains, he's a psychopath: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/diagnosis-ps… (2/9)
Trump is also, undoubtedly, a criminal. Setting aside Mueller and impeachment, here's a list of 10 known crimes--from sexual assault to racial discrimination to tax fraud to money laundering--that we know he committed even BEFORE he became President: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-crimes-o… (3/9)
Of course he's a cult leader. A new Stanford study links his recent #SuperSpreader rallies to more than 700 Covid deaths. But it's far worse than that. He's known since January the deadly virus was airborne. He's openly committing premeditated murder thedailyedge.substack.com/p/jonestown-ne… (4/9)
It's no hoax Trump is deep in debt to foreign banks. Through his personal lawyer he's working with Russian spies to smear Biden. In June, @gregolear told me: "there is a greater than zero chance that (he) will defect to Russia to avoid prosecution" thedailyedge.substack.com/p/russia-on-my… (5/9)
236,000 Americans are dead because of Trump's recklessness and remorselessness. The fact he may still get 40%+ of the vote on Tues. is thanks in part to the relentless propaganda of Fox News in general & Hannity in particular, as @tonyatais explains: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/fox-news-and… (6/9)
Trump is criminalizing dissent in regard to #BlackLivesMatters protesters while celebrating violent supporters in Texas & even the rubber-bullet shooting of @AliVelshi.
How bad could Trump get if re-elected? How scared should we be about the future of our democracy? In July, I interviewed historian and author of the upcoming #Strongmen@ruthbenghiat about the danger Trump--and his collaborators--now represent: thedailyedge.substack.com/p/is-trump-a-f… (8/9)
On November 3, America will finally render judgment on the morally repugnant pig of a human being now residing in the White House. We will beat him if we #ShowUpAndVote. As Joe Biden says, this is truly "a battle for the soul of the nation." thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-decency-… (9/9) #Vote

The Washington Post is now reporting there have been 7,000 additional nursing home deaths since the end of September. (1/3) #NursingHomeSlaughter#TrumpHatesSeniors
WaPo: Seema Verma, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services head, vowed in late March to “keep what happened in Kirkland from happening again.” Since then, "homes that received a clean bill of health earlier this year had about 290,000 coronavirus cases and 43,000 deaths" (2/3)
Since March, more than 70,000 nursing home residents have died, plus hundreds of staff members, making up about 30% of U.S. coronavirus deaths.
Trump’s complete failure with #COVID19 turned what could have been a mild recession into a full blown economic crash—one that we may not fully recover from for many years.
The economy was weak heading into 2020 because of the failure of the #GOPTaxScam. Trump claimed his tax cuts for corporations and the already-rich would “skyrocket” the economy & deliver 5-6% GDP growth.
Reality: 2020 began with economists predicting growth of just 1.8%. (2/12)
Growing consumer debt was also slowing the economy’s potential heading into 2020. As Wall Street Journal reported: “consumer debt, not counting mortgages, has climbed to $4 trillion—higher than it has ever been even after adjusting for inflation.” (3/12) thedailyedge.substack.com/p/the-economy-…
“Starting in 2017, the Chinese signaled exactly how they planned to approach their trade negotiations with Trump... the very night that Ivanka sat down to dinner with President Xi, the Chinese government approved three trademarks for Ivanka’s businesses.” thedailyedge.substack.com/p/ivanka-trump…
"Despite their best efforts, Senate Republicans could find no evidence that Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company directly affected US policy toward Ukraine."
Here is a Trump scandal so bad, even Fox News is talking about it. How DID @IvankaTrump get so many Chinese trademarks approved in the days after her dad’s first meeting with President Xi? #QuidProQuo#TrumpCrimeFamily
They made Jimmy Carter give up his peanut farm.
Ivanka was awarded trademarks from China in 2017, 2018 and 2019 as her dad negotiated with Xi. Meanwhile US farmers fell into bankruptcy & US manufacturing entered a full year recession in 2019 ahead of the #TrumpCrash of 2020.
Trump himself has received hundreds of millions in loans from foreign powers, millions in direct business, and he and Ivanka have been gifted trademarks from China in the midst of trade discussions. All of this is a flagrant violation of the Constitution.
Trump has withheld aid to "Democratic" cities and "Blue States" with large Black populations even as this #COVID19 negligence has caused untold death and despair in minority communities. washingtonpost.com/local/trumps-h…
