By John Q. Hosedrinker Last week was undeniably bad for Donald Trump, but it seems that this week has the potential to be even worse. The possibility of the Trump Organization being dissolved, and Trump being unable to do business in New York, is a massive blow that he may never be able to recover from. We should not underestimate the significance of this development. Losing his company alone is monumental, but when coupled with the fact that he would no longer be able to rebuild his empire, it becomes clear that his fortune and ability to make legitimate money would vanish. From there, his only source of income would be the money he receives from his followers, which, let’s be honest, is substantial but not on the scale of billions.
I have to admit, seeing Trump face the consequences of his actions has brought me a certain sense of satisfaction. For the past eight years, he has disgusted, worried, and angered me with his behavior. From attempting to overthrow the government to forcibly clearing a park for a photo-op, he has shown a complete disregard for the well-being of the country and its people. He has sacrificed the lives of young Americans for nothing more than personal gain and abandoned our allies. His list of offenses goes on, from defrauding small businesses to invading the privacy of underage girls. He is, without a doubt, the worst individual to have ever held the office of the presidency.
The name Trump should be synonymous with deceit and corruption, just as the name Ponzi is associated with fraud. He deserves to experience sleepless nights and fearful thoughts. Everything should be taken from him and his family of grifters. Frankly, I have no sympathy for him, and I won’t shed a tear if things get even worse. In fact, I’m smiling at the prospect of justice finally catching up with him.
It is worth noting the claims that Trump is a billionaire are highly dubious. He has consistently made this claim throughout his life, but like many other things he says, it is likely a lie. The recent order for him to pay $83 million to a woman he raped further highlights his dishonesty. If he were truly innocent, as he claims, he would have no issue putting that amount of money into an escrow account for an appeal. The fact that he cannot or will not do so speaks volumes. It exposes both his lack of wealth and his guilt.
But let’s not get too ahead of ourselves. Until Trump is held accountable for his actions, none of this truly matters. His ability to continue holding rallies, running for president, and evading justice is infuriating. The justice system needs to step up and deliver the consequences he so rightly deserves. It is only when he is behind bars that we can truly celebrate a better future for America.
Many have speculated on the potential impact of these legal troubles on Trump’s political career. While it is true that he is still the leading candidate for the GOP and remains a legitimate threat to win the presidency again, we cannot discount the possibility that these legal battles will have long-lasting, damaging effects. The weight of these cases, coupled with the mounting evidence against him, may ultimately sway public opinion and diminish his chances of reclaiming power.
As a Republican, I can say with certainty that there is no reason to vote for Trump. His actions, character, and disregard for the rule of law make him unfit for any public office. It is time for the party to separate itself from his toxic influence and move towards a more principled, ethical future.
Despite all the evidence against him, it is disheartening to see how little impact it has had on his supporters. They continue to stand by him, seemingly impervious to reason or logic. It is a frustrating reality that we must confront. Until Trump faces real consequences, until he is imprisoned for his crimes, his followers will remain steadfast in their support. It is a sad state of affairs, but one that we must accept and work to change.
In conclusion, we have witnessed a bad week for Trump, but this week has the potential to be four, five times worse. The possibility of the Trump Organization being dissolved and Trump losing the ability to do business in New York is a critical blow to his empire. However, until he faces the full weight of justice, until he is held accountable for his actions, we cannot rest easy. We must continue to fight for a future where individuals like Trump are no longer able to evade the consequences of their crimes. Only then can we truly say that justice has been served.
