Donald J. \u201cTweeter in Chief\u201d Trump has made a ridiculous prediction, which of course isn\u2019t all that unusual.<\/p>\n

He says the 2020 presidential election will be the \u201cmost corrupt\u201d in U.S. history.<\/p>\n

There you have it. Does the imbecile masquerading as president offer a scintilla of evidence to back up his allegation? Of course not! He just tweets this idiocy out there.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump is running a campaign of division, of anger, of suspicion. This is the guy who promised to \u201cunify\u201d the nation after the 2016 campaign, which was pretty damn divisive. He never even tried to unify anything or anyone. As former Defense Secretary James Mattis noted, Trump\u2019s aim is to divide the nation.<\/em><\/p>\n

So now he campaigns for re-election by issuing blind threats of corrupt election results.<\/p>\n

I only am presuming that he is going to issue the corruption charge if former Vice President Joe Biden manages to win the election in November. If hell freezes over and Trump wins, well, my strong hunch is that he won\u2019t say a word about \u201ccorruption\u201d or \u201cfraudulent voting\u201d or \u201cphony ballot counts.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is most disturbing about Trump\u2019s latest allegation about ballot \u201ccorruption\u201d is the absolute absence of any evidence. That is Donald Trump\u2019s modus operandi<\/em>. He blurts out these allegations, giving his base reason to cheer his nonsense; the allegations grow legs and somehow keep circulating, casting doubt over a process where none should exist. I should add that in the process Trump casts aspersions on the dedicated county and local election officials who toil to preserve the integrity of our electoral process.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the only “corruption” I can see will occur when the Russians, the Chinese or some other hostile foreign power attacks our process as the Russians did in 2016.<\/p>\n

If this is the best that Donald Trump can do to persuade voters to return him to office for another four years, then I submit we have an incumbent president with no plan for the future, no constructive agenda, no sense of how he intends to lead<\/em> the nation or where<\/em> he wants to lead us.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, if enough American voters are foolish or stupid<\/em> enough to buy into this idiot\u2019s shtick to re-elect him, then our revered system of government is far more seriously damaged than any of us ever imagined.<\/p>\n\n
