Hey @realDonaldTrump, you lost. In fact, the truth is you didn't just lose, you were DEFEATED. And here's why so many people around the world are relieved and overjoyed that you and what you stand for has been rejected.
1. THE ENVIRONMENT. You pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement, an imperfect but important step on the way to saving the planet. You did this only because it was signed by Barack Obama.
2. You tore up numerous environmental protections that protected endangered species, that limited offshore drilling, that protected against pollution.
3. Your petty administration ordered that the words 'climate change' be removed from official documents.
4. You defunded monitoring systems that were gathering information on climate change, because you didn't want to know and you didn't want us to know about the climate emergency.
5. You, a 73-year-old man, bullied and mocked the 16-year-old Greta Thunberg for her campaigns about the climate emergency.
6. THE INCOMPETENCE. You churned through 4 chiefs of staff, 4 press secretaries, 6 national security advisers, 7 communications directors. The turnover in the White House is a sign of your extraordinary incompetence at choosing people.
7. You made numerous terrible, terrible appointments, from Betsy DeVos to Michael Flynn, Rick Perry to Score Atlas, Ryan Zinke to Scott Pruitt, Jim Bridenstine to Tom Price; incompetents, criminals and grifters to a man (and woman).
8. You put your stupid family, with no experience, ideas or talent, in senior White House positions.
9. You presided over the longest shutdown of the Government in US history, because you prided yourself on being a great negotiator, but were regularly outmanoeuvred when you didn't just entirely misjudge the situation.
10. In May 2017, you blurted out classified intel from the Israeli secret service to the Russians, allowing them to identify who had acquired the information and how. This is just one of your numerous incompetent disclosures.
11. You were laughed at when you spoke to the United Nations. LAUGHED AT.
12. You tanked the economy in part through your neglectful handling of the Coronavirus (see below).
13. You failed to build your stupid wall. (And Mexico didn't pay for it.)
14. You failed to provide a new healthcare plan, despite claiming repeatedly that it was only a couple of weeks away.
15. You failed to pass a major infrastructure plan, despite claiming wrongly that you know more about infrastructure than anyone in the world.
16. Your staff realised they had to put lots of pictures and mentions of you in your daily briefing or you would lose interest.
17. You launched a failed, ruinously expensive trade war with China.
18. You said you 'aced' a 'really hard' test that was only meant to test basic cognitive ability.
19. One of your basic jobs as a leader is to be able to comfort and console when people experience terrible loss and bereavement. You repeatedly showed yourself unable to rise to that.
20. THE CORRUPTION. You have repeatedly flouted the 'emoluments' clause of the US Constitution, designed to prevent the President being influenced by foreign bribery.
21. You are the first President in fifty years not to release your tax returns. Why?
22. Perhaps because you exploited the tax code to pay almost no tax. In both 2016 and 2017 you paid $750 in income tax, less than most of the people who voted for you. You say this is because you are smart; it's really because you are a terrible businessman.
23. You have repeatedly refused to clarify the source of your loans for some of the golf courses you have opened. There are reasonable suspicions that you are indebted to some bad actors in the world who can control you.
24. You have a secret Chinese bank account, from which you paid more local taxes to China than you paid in income tax in the US.
