“Victim” of the United States of America

Gone are the days of strong and decisive leadership in the President of the United States. These days, we have a president who plays the victim and does nothing but talk about how everyone is out to get him and how they are all after him.

That is not what the American people need. We need a leader, a strong leader who is firm in who he is and acts in a professional manner instead of always playing the victim card and talking about how everyone is unfair to him and how he is “attacked” by everyone. The fact is that Trump has nobody to blame for how he is treated but himself and the reason I say that is because he brings it all on himself.

He does. His words and actions create how he is treated and the criticism that comes his way. If he would be honest and act like a real leader then people would respect him, but he does not act presidential and continues to act like a bully and a victim, which is an extreme oxymoron. He bullies reporters and everyone who asks him simple questions and then goes ahead and pretends that he is the victim — he is not.

Trump claims that the media is “out to get him” and that they lie about him and that Democrats are in this huge conspiracy to get him and how every governor who does not bow down to his every demand is in this national conspiracy to do him in. He always plays the victim and has done that since he was campaigning back in 2016.

Billionaire Shark Tank star and owner of the Dallas Mavs said it best when he was on Sean Hannity last night, “You have to be the best counter-puncher as the most powerful man in the world and he doesn’t, he just plays the victim card constantly.” Mark was spot on here because that is exactly what Trump does, he plays the victim.

He bullies everyone and then plays the victim. He is like a schoolyard bully who picks on every kid around and then when one punches back, then he is crying and running to the teacher to tell. That is exactly what he is and how he acts, he is the one victimizing people and then he goes and pretends that HE is the victim and it is shameful.

As Cuban said, Trump is the most powerful man in the world as President of the United States and is always playing the victim. He is always talking about how everyone is out to get him and how he is so picked on and treated so unfairly and so on. He takes no responsibility for his own actions, he never owns up to his side of things and just constantly whines about who is out to get him.

Another thing Cuban said in that interview is that Trump never knocks anybody out and that is also true. Look at Pelosi, Hillary, Obama, Cuomo, or the countless of others that Trump has beefs with and you will see that he never wins those fights, he says and tweets a bunch of stuff but he never wins the argument and shuts them up. His opponents essentially have the last laugh in these spats and that is because they prove him wrong and debunk his lies.

Trump is the Victim in Chief. He plays that role better than anyone else, he lives that role, it is who he is. He is not a leader and has not led this country for one day, but instead runs around throwing tantrums whether it is in a tweet or in a press conference or on a talk show interview, it is never about the country and how he can make it better but about how everyone is unfair to him.

He is no victim, but he sure likes to act like one.

He cannot win arguments with real leaders like Pelosi, Newsom, Obama, Biden, and more. He instead has to resort to name calling and the art of victimhood, that he does so well. He has others to do his bidding as well like his press secretary, his Vice President, his kids, and of course let us not forget about his supporters.

He gets them all to defend him as the great victim. They go on about how he is the “Most disrespected president in history” and how “No president has been mistreated like he has” and so on. Give. Me. A. Break. I mean, get real people, Obama was the most disrespected president in history with the racism and hate that was thrown his way day after day and how he was threatened with death and the like.

Trump deserves all of the flack that comes his way. His press secretary said on Chris Cuomo that a recent study came out that more than 90% of the press that comes out about Trump is negative and she is right, although not for the reason she said it. The press about him is negative based on facts and how he acts and what he says. All of that negative press is in response to the insane and unpresidential things that he says and does — he owns it, he owns every last bit of it.

Trump is not a victim but he sure likes to act like he is one.

He is a president who victimizes immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims, Democrats, and so many more people by his actions and he is a man who should never claim to be the victim and especially after how he has acted during the COVID-19 crisis that he failed us on. He should never accuse the media of being unfair to him and he should own up to everything he has said and done over these last four years.

You know who are the victims?

Puerto Ricans that he threw paper towels at

Mexicans that he called “rapists and thieves”

Immigrant children that he locked in cages and separated from their parents

Gun violence victims that died as he bowed down to the National Rifle Association

People that he threw off healthcare and food stamps

Women that he degraded

The disabled reporter that he made fun of

The Charities that he stole from

Students at Trump University who he scammed

The Gold Star family that he viciously went after

The 100,000 Americans that died from the Coronavirus from the weak and negligent response to the pandemic.

The list goes on and on. These are the victims, not Donald Trump. The FREE press that we have in this country is there to keep the checks and balances and hold him accountable. They are not spreading “fake news” about him but he sure does tweet out a lot of lies and fake news and has for his entire time in office.

Trump and those who support him may try and play the victim card but he is no victim and he is no leader. He is never accepting responsibility for his own lack of leadership but is quick to attack others for doing the same, he says that CNN has horrible ratings yet is clueless to his own low ratings, he attacks a free press and is harder on them for doing their job than he is on the brutal dictators of the world, and he plays this victim card time and time again.

This is Donald Trump.

Everyday he starts a fight with someone new and the theme for these battles is always the same. He accuses them of lying as he is the one doing the lying and then he goes on to talk about how they are attacking him while he is attacking them and then finally, he makes up some conspiracy theory to deflect it all to Obama or someone.

This is your president folks. This is who he is.

Trump is NOT a victim and Trump is not a leader. What Trump is my friends is a national embarrassment and a complete disgrace and America can never be great again until we get rid of him and the way that we do that is by electing Joe Biden — like him or not, Biden will never play the victim card and will always lead.
