Dear Friends: This is from Trump’s former lawyer, Ty Cobb! He was a former member of the Trump legal team... and he speaks out now that he has experienced the REAL Donald Trump! (Trump is a worse 'President' than anyone in our history... in my experience and opinion! -Ty Cobb!)
As people seem to have forgotten, I was very critical of Biden... and despite knowing him and his family well... I spent 4 years writing about his cognitive decline and weak foreign policy! (He had competent advisors, though, including very decent men as AG and head of the FBI. While you could fairly question their effectiveness... You couldn’t doubt their character!)
Trump... meanwhile... has real contempt for the country... appoints wholly unqualified people to key positions... just kicked 12 million people off Medicaid... eliminated child food support... and killed worldwide healthcare efforts monitoring pandemic producing diseases... including Ebola! (Among countless other dangerous/stupid things!)
His tariffs... like his bibles... crypto... extortion of colleges... media companies... and his efforts to rewrite history... are purely personal... corrupt... and have zero policy-based support!
They are just exercises in the power he craves so intensely!
He has... and will continue to damage... our economy... and our culture... until and unless he is stopped!
We are more vulnerable economically and on national security than ever before in history... because he and Hegseth have eliminated the majority of the military's experienced and enlightened leaders!
Healthcare is in the toilet under RFK JR, and many diseases are... or soon will be... on the rise due to the elimination of vaccines... and the defunding of the sciences... which at one time made our energy, environment and healthcare the envy of the world!
And, finally, his Bible and crypto GRIFTS... to name a few... are pure greed! (His net worth is up over $3 billion since taking office 6 months ago!)
No one has ever seen corruption at this level by a President!
Most of these actions have been pure exercises in power and greed... and have no guiding principle beyond self-interest and vengeance!
Competence, leadership, science, and the rule of law... which historically distinguished us from petty dictatorships... have all been abandoned or curtailed to serve his ego and narcissism!
AND... his narcissism is so real... and so extreme... It's at the heart of everything he does... and always has been!
We can only hope the norms he has broken and the damage already done to us economically... and to our stature in the world... (where we have gone from the beacon of liberty to isolated bully in just months) can be restored... and that the damage yet to come will be less severe... but the country is in real trouble... and sadly the weakest among us will feel it the worst!
Moreover, the cognitive decline we saw in Biden is very real with Trump as well!
His 'Us vs Them' approach to other countries has been more divisive than any prior President! Just yesterday, he announced how much he “hates” all Democrats! (“Hate” worked for Hitler... briefly... but no one considers it a leadership trait!)
His racism is also palpable!
The country needs new leaders with character... and I don’t care if they are Republicans or Democrats!
I just want someone who is honest, principled, intelligent and compassionate... and who can unite us!
Trump, in my experience, is none of those things!
This is what I believe and why I am engaged!
I could, of course, be tilting at windmills... but don’t really have much choice if I want to sleep at night... given the stakes as I see them!
Ty Cobb!
