INDEPENDENT VOTER Trump’s midterm campaign rally in a half empty area was compelling TV. Some highlights: 1. Issuing $5K bribe to every American if Republicans win. 2. Heaped praise for his war in Iran. 3. Asked voters to “pretend” he is running for a third term. We should be pretending: 1. We have universal healthcare. 2. No exploding national debt. 3. A reduction in the high costs of living. 4. No tariff war with Canada. 5. No frivolous wars. 6. Lower gas prices. 7. Lower inflation. 8. Secure Medicare funding. 9. A humane and responsible immigration policy and enforcement. 10. Support for American farmers. 11. Strong resistance against world dictators. 12. Support for our allies. 13. An end to election interference. 14. Justice for Americans shot in the face. 15. An end to immigrant for profit prisons. 16. A President that respects the rule of law. 17. Criminals that serve out their prison sentence. 18. A full release of the Epstein files and justice for his victims. 19. An independent Justice Department. 20. An end to taxpayer funded vanity projects. 21. A stop to insider trading and self enrichment. 22. Supporting protection of our National Parks. 23. A Congress that stands as an equal and independent branch of government. 24. An ethical Supreme Court. 25. An independent Kennedy Center and Smithsonian Institute.
