Donald Trump, the greatest failure in American history, betrayed the United States of America and desecrated the presidential oath of office.

Twice impeached and charged with 37 felony counts over his alleged misconduct involving the nation’s most sensitive secrets, Donald Trump will soon be held accountable for inciting an insurrection against the US Constitution and trying to take political power illegally. He attempted to incite a coup d’état. It was planned, organized and executed from within his White House. It was seditious and criminal.

There is no betrayal against the American flag that equals Trump’s since the Civil War. His treachery equals that of Jefferson Davis. He attacked what he swore to preserve, protect and defend. He assaulted the sacrifices and memory of 250 years of patriots who built the United States with his outlandish misconduct. His presidency was a national humiliation without respite.

His current candidacy is our national herpes. He is America’s loathsome canker and most exquisite scum bag. He is rotten, dishonest, staggeringly corrupt, bombastic, ignorant and cruel. He combines imbecility and arrogance into a potent weapon, which for some reason has found appeal among America’s vast taker and victim classes. Wherever grievance is a virtue and self-pity heroic, a Trump flag will be flying high. The pathetic and weak need their heroes too, after all.

All of the graves in the American cemetery that lies above Omaha Beach face west, back across the Atlantic Ocean towards the United States. The graves are laid out in perfect symmetry. It is an American army at permanent rest. Each died in combat against a profound evil. They died so that darkness would not fall over the world. How are we measuring up?

Donald Trump is a criminal and an abomination. He is a grotesquerie. He tried to burn America down. What he did was criminal, and no one is above the law in America. He is a shameful man and his bill has come due — finally.
