Believe him

Maya Angelou has famously said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”  It is beyond time that we start believing Donald Trump.

When the current front runner of the Republican party says he will be a dictator on the first day he is president, believe him.

When he invites Russia to do what the hell it wants with a NATO ally, believe him.

When he said during the 2020 campaign, “Proud boys, stand back and stand by”, believe him.

When he hawks his $400 golden sneakers without addressing the death of Russian dissident, Alexei Navalny, believe him.

Our founding fathers and Republican presidents like Lincoln, Eisenhower and Reagan must be spinning in their graves because they believe him.  And so should we.

Please as you vote in the upcoming election, do not let this extremist candidate anywhere near the White House.  Believe him.
