MAGA CULT OF PERSONALITY |
Donald Trump’s legacy is steeped in deceit, corruption, and an almost pathological disregard for ethics and decency. His business empire, far from being a beacon of success, is littered with failed ventures and bankruptcies that reveal a chronic inability to sustain anything of lasting value. The fraudulent nature of Trump University stands as a monument to his willingness to exploit the vulnerable for personal gain, resulting in a $25 million settlement for defrauding students who trusted his empty promises. His record as a businessman is not one of triumph, but of financial irresponsibility, deceit, and a cavalier attitude toward the consequences of his actions on others.
In the realm of politics and personal conduct, Trump’s behavior is equally abhorrent. His presidency was marked by a relentless assault on truth and decency, culminating in over 30,000 documented false or misleading claims during his time in office. His disdain for the rule of law is evident in the numerous legal battles he has faced, from obstructing justice during the Mueller investigation to inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Trump's life and career are a testament to his willingness to trample on ethics, legality, and human decency in pursuit of power and wealth, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake.
