Try Laughing At Trump

The best way to handle President Donald Trump's insipid claims anymore may be to simply laugh in his face.

Taking his bull seriously can have major repercussions for this country. Until he stops acting like a child, we'll have to treat him like a child.

In his opinion, and based on not a shred of evidence, Trump is reasserting the absurd lie that three to five million illegal aliens voted this past election.

He claims dead people have registered to vote (I'd like to see that) and that people are registered in two states.

Maybe he should have made sure his own family members, like his daughter Tiffany weren't in violation first.

Or his vulture capitalist pick for Treasury head Steven Mnuchin. Or his unscrupulous senior advisor and white supremicist media site owner Steven Bannon.

So based on a contrived hunch, the leader of the free world is proffering a blatant idiotic lie to do what he does best: fear monger.

We know what Trump is really doing.

First off, he's distracting from more important issues like his unsettling Russia ties, his sordid intermingled business conflicts around the globe and this week's barrage of controversial executive orders.

Secondly, with his bogus claims of voter fraud, he's laying the groundwork for a new wave of voter suppression tactics in time for the 2018 midterm election

Thirdly, Trump is attempting to bolster his argument for sweeping immigrant reform and his plan to build a wall along our southern border with Mexico.

If the President is truly interested in examing foul play in elections, he needs to watch Rolling Stone investigative reporter Greg Palast's documentary "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy."

Palast's investigations into Interstate Crosscheck, a Republican scheme to disenfranchise minority voters likely to vote Democratic, has found that more than 1.6 million voters have been eliminated from the voter rolls.

Additionally, in Michigan, where Trump only won by some 10,000 voters his past election, more than 75,000 Detroit votes weren't counted due to malfunctioning machines in primarily Democratic districts.

Election fraud, not voter fraud, is where the true corruption resides. And it's Republican operatives like Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Crosscheck originator, and subsequent Trump immigration advisor who are the real frauds.

Trump's groundless voter fraud claims are, of course, just smoke and mirrors from the grand illusionist President.

But that doesn't mean it's harmless. Trump also knows that just getting his mug on a news program, talking about voter fraud, will oddly legitimize the issue in many of his fans' minds.

Trump knows that as nutty as it all sounds, the more you tell a lie and the louder you declare it, the greater the chance people will believe that lie.

So, there's real danger in Trump's lies.
Perhaps, the best thing to do in the face of a Trump fabrication is just tell The Donald right to his face that he's full of it.

He should appreciate the bluntness. And if he uses that phony "Excuse me," line, tell him "No! Excuse me. Why are you lying?"

Just tell him to cut the crap and that he knows it's garbage. And you know it's garbage. And refuse to report it seriously, if at all.

That will take his power away.

There's a real good chance that America chose an insane man as it's commander in-chief.

He either needs a straight jacket and rubber room or he needs to be investigated as a state enemy.

Either way, the man isn't right. Either way, he represents a clear and growing danger to our country.

While posing as a populus champion of the people, Trump is recklessly working to undermine the Democratic underpinngs of our country.

And he's only becoming more emboldened and dangerous with each passing day.

Trump can blather all he wants about playing daddy to all Americans and keeping us safe.

It means squat. Increasingly it's clear that Trump is no daddy figure, but actually this nation's most lethal home-bred terrorist.
