Here is a screen shot of a reply I gave to a cartoon on a “conservative” Facebook site ridiculing paying off student college debt:<\/p>\n

Of course several people rushed to defend Trump calling into question the serious news sources that would harp on Trump’s paltry income taxes. I think my more important reply is the one at the bottom of the screen shot. I think even the most ardent Trumpers have a hard time denying its truth. I think everyone wanting to avoid a civil war but impelled to bad mouth Trump would be well advised to use that as a riposte whenever arguing with a Trumper. <\/p>\n

When I my comment to my better half she told me about a NY Times story I missed today. It was about Trump’s Truth Social and how Trump stiffed it to the tune of a million dollars. Because Trump supporters would consider NY Times news to be tainted I found the story from two days ago on Fox News. https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/features\/trump-social-media-app-facing-financial-fallout<\/a><\/p>\n

I can be sharp with Trump supporters online but the facts are more useful than sarcasm. Trump’s betrayal of the January 6th crowd is hard to deny. Compared to the Trump truths that really unnerve me its small potatoes. But its a truth that I think will unravel the Trump cult far more surely than whether Donald was exposing America’s secret agents to Putin’s assassins which is today’s news speculation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
