15 days until the voting (#3552)

     Another October surprise is showing itself. The trumps are lying at every turn trying to woo and frighten democratic voters to their illusion. The latest ones are a tax cut and the threat that he won't recognize a democratic overtaking of any part or all of Congress. The carrot and the stick simultaneously. First the carrot. He says he is going to propose a middle class tax cut before the election. Well, that is just like I promise to do something if you vote for me first. Let us break that down. He says he will propose a tax cut for the working middle poor class, yet Congress won't be back in session until November 15th, well after the midterm election. So instead of offering us a real carrot he is only promising to give us a carrot after we give him what he wants first. Since he has shown himself to be a liar thousands of times over we won't be falling for his latest lies either.
     Now let's look at his claim that he will call bullshit on our votes if they don't go his way. His threat is that if democrats win any majority in congress he will deny it and obstruct it's validity. Well I expected him to do that anyway so his threat is a bit hollow because he hasn't the power to control the other branches of government nor our votes when they are tabulated against him. He is not a dictator like his few most trusted foreign allies so he can't undo our votes against him. Secondly, he puts himself in danger of being ousted through the 25th Amendment by his own cabinet if he persists in the manner of a spoiled child who throws a tantrum that cannot be stopped.
     What most all of us have learned over the last especially 2 years is that trump is a windbag and only threatens like a bully. It sometimes works for him so he keeps it as his go to move. Well the rest of us have more than enough character to stand up to him and this time is nothing new. He will try even more strategies to either entice us to him or threaten us away from voting against him. Either way though we see right through him and as the days continue to countdown his rhetorical nonsense will only get more unbelievably blusterous. Each day we early vote the less his inane and childish threats are heard by anyone who has at least half a brain.
