A Watauga Conservative

As a real estate magnate, Trump is accustomed to leveraging assets in order to fund new ventures . Only this time, the "asset" is the United States of America. In short - we're being played.  Trump's business acumen does not translate to governance, as the US is not an apartment building to be leveraged. Yet, we know that his campaign is soliciting money that would go directly to him and his personal interests .  We also know that Giuliani is charging the American tax payer upwards of $20,000 per day to "challenge" election results.  AND, we know that Trump is planning a new Trump-branded media outlet while he lambasts FoxNews (his most ardent media support) in his final days as President.  Trump's goal was never governance. It was self-enrichment. With a long history of scams, his last days as President are simply bringing this truth to the forefront. 

  Happy Thanksgiving to all! 

This blog is Conservative, not stupid. No matter how we slice it, the Trump presidency was one of unabashed and flagrant  nepotism , autocracy , and authoritarianism .  The national debt ballooned . (Despite the promise to eliminate it) The stock market sagg ed. (Despite the promise of the best "business man")  Gun rights have been restricted . (Despite the promise to fully support the 2nd Amendment) The pandemic highlighted non-existent leadership ability . (Despite claims of unfaltering leadership acumen)  Civil unrest protesting against frequent uses of unnecessary force was met with even greater shows of force .  We are losing international allies while cozying-up to despots . The level of basic and coherent discourse is at an all-time low.
