Mary Trump - Bad Faith

It surpasses understanding that any sentient person would believe a word that comes out of Donald’s mouth. For over ten years, he has promised to replace the ACA with a superior plan; he promised to end Russia’s illegal war against Ukraine “on day one” of the transition; he promised to release the Epstein files as soon as he was back in the Oval Office in 2025; and, repeatedly, he promised his followers that he would end forever wars and put “America first.”

None of that has come to pass. There is no alternative to the ACA, superior or otherwise. In 2025, Ukraine has sustained as many as 150,000 civilians and military deaths. Donald and his DOJ have done everything in their power to obscure the truth of what’s in the Epstein files and protect whoever is in them, including himself.

As for the absurd claim that he is a peace president, in the last year alone, Donald has ordered the U.S. military to blow up 45 boats in the Caribbean Sea, murdered at least 150 people, and carry out limited strikes on seven countries, including Iran. The June strikes against Iranian nuclear sites was necessary, we were told, to stop, or at least hobble, Iran’s nuclear program. According to Donald, that mission was successful and the country’s nuclear capabilities were “obliterated.”

Now he has declared war on Iran in part, he says, because the country is developing nuclear weapons that “could soon reach the American homeland.” His concern over this possibility is belied by the fact that he unilaterally withdrew the United States from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was designed to limit Iran’s uranium enrichment program in exchange for an easing of economic sanctions. As part of the deal, Iran also gave the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) unprecedented access to its nuclear facilities.
