President Trump’s firing of incompetent Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is welcome news. But unless he changes his harmful polices on immigration and other areas the Department of Homeland Security oversees, the department will continue to be plagued by problems and Americans will suffer.
President Trump’s State of the Union address was a long temper tantrum filled with lies, insults and projection, attributing his own failings to others.
Trump falsely accused those he considers his enemies of mistakes, misconduct and malignant behavior. He complained incessantly about former President Joe Biden, congressional Democrats, unauthorized immigrants, the media and others, in the longest State of the Union on record, at one hour and 47 minutes. He showed once again that he is in love with the sound of his own voice and would rather attack Democrats than work with them to benefit the American people.
President Trump, who frequently denounces accurate journalism he dislikes as “fake news,” is demanding that national parks, monuments, museums and other federal sites replace facts about our past and our environment with fiction — fake history and fake science.
As America marks Black History Month, President Trump has again revealed himself to be a racist unfit to lead our multiracial nation. Trump’s recent social media post of an AI-generated video portraying former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle as apes is something we might expect from a leader of the Ku Klux Klan or a Nazi group.
President Trump is the most serious threat to America’s national security. No U.S. president or foreign adversary has done so much to weaken our ability to anticipate, prevent and respond to attacks by hostile nations and terrorists.
