Donald Trump Isn\u2019t \u201cGetting Away\u201d With Anything<\/h3>\n

With Americans finding themselves in a such a bleak and desolate place right now, it\u2019s easy to let hopelessness set in. Fatalism is never your friend, but that\u2019s difficult to remember at a time like this. That brings us to the narrative I keep hearing that Donald Trump is \u201cgetting away with it all.\u201d<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s easy enough to understand where this sentiment comes from. Trump has committed countless crimes while in office, he\u2019s ripped our system of government to pieces, and three years later he\u2019s somehow still in office, carrying out what can only be described as a murder spree. But I\u2019m here to tell you that he hasn\u2019t \u201cgotten away\u201d with anything.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

If Trump were some kind of proverbial suicide bomber who was only looking to do as much damage to America as possible without regard for how it impacted him, then sure, mission accomplished. But that\u2019s not who Trump is. Yes, he enjoys the sadism of it all. But three years into it, he\u2019s a miserable shut-in whose antics have left him saddled with a low approval rating that has him headed for likely defeat in November. More to the point, if he loses, New York State and the Feds will be fighting over who gets to arrest him first.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Picture a guy who robbed a bank and is currently running down the street with the loot in hand, being chased by the police, who are gradually closing in on him. You wouldn\u2019t say that guy has \u201cgotten away\u201d with anything. He\u2019s desperately trying to get away with it, but his odds are bad and getting worse, and his life is likely already over. That guy is Donald Trump.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

The only way you could argue that Trump is \u201cgetting away with it\u201d would be if he\u2019d managed to pull off the kind of approval numbers that would have put him in strong position for a second term. He\u2019s spent the past three years desperately trying to pull that off, but he\u2019s failed at every turn. Donald Trump is firmly on his way to\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0getting away with anything. Your job is to get out and campaign for Joe Biden and help make sure Trump doesn\u2019t get away with it. Keep your head in the game during these heartbreaking times. You can help turn this all around.<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Donald Trump Isn\u2019t \u201cGetting Away\u201d With Anything Bill Palmer\u00a0|\u00a09:09 am EDT April 16, 2020 (Palmer Report\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0Analysis) With Americans finding themselves in a such a bleak and desolate place right now, it\u2019s easy to let hopelessness set in.
