Kamala Harris: 23 Questions for Trump Before the Election

First question for Trump: Trump says Kamala is “mentally impaired”. How about Trump himself? Why won’t he release his college transcripts? What has he got to hide? Hiding them is a sign of lack of self-confidence, of an inferiority complex.

Second question: Was Trump’s suggestion to inject bleach to fight Covid a sign of intelligence?

Third question: Trump said from the beginning that he had ‘the best people”. Why did he end up firing so many of them? Is he a bad judge of competence?

Fourth question: Why do so many of his appointees including Vice President Pence say they won’t vote for him? What does Trump say to their claims that he’s not fit for office and a danger to our democracy?

Fifth question: Does Trump like people who keep their word? Is honesty one of Trump’s basic principles?

Sixth question: Why does Trump like cruel, murderous dictators? Dictators who violate their own citizens’ human rights and international law by violating the United Nations Charter, by invading a peaceful sovereign nation, a member of the United Nations? How can a member nation of the United Nations for over 30 years, such as Ukraine, not be considered a nation, not be considered to exist as a nation? Is Putin right to assert Ukraine is not a nation and not entitled to territorial integrity?

Seventh question: Is Trump familiar with the Budapest Memorandum, signed by the United States, Russia, and Ukraine in 1994, whereby Ukraine would hand over all its nuclear weapons to Russia in exchange for a guarantee of sovereignty and territorial integrity by Russia and the United States? What does Trump think of Putin violating Russia’s agreement, especially since Ukraine honored its side of the bargain? Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if it had kept its nuclear weapons! How does Trump understand Putin’s thinking, his rationales? What does Trump think of Putin’s character? Does Trump find Putin trustworthy, a man of his word?

Eighth question: You had four years as president to finish “The Wall”. Why did you fail? Why did Mexico not pay for it, contrary to your assurances to the American people?

Ninth question: Why didn’t you require all asylum applications to be made at U.S. consulates in the country of residence, never at our borders? Wouldn’t that have made a big difference in limiting masses of migrants at our borders seeking asylum?

Tenth question: Why didn’t you eliminate long-term capital gains taxes on the sale of primary homes, so that homeowners wishing to move wouldn’t end up after capital gains taxes with grossly insufficient money to buy a comparable home elsewhere? The capital gains tax on the sale of primary residences is not only unfair, it makes many homeowners reluctant to sell: that is one reason for the housing affordability crisis, which is due to a shortage of existing homes for sale.

Eleventh question: What did you do as president to reduce the number of American addicts and mass shooters, and gun violence in general? What did you do to reduce the number of mentally disturbed Americans? Do you have any idea what to do now?

Twelfth question: Since poverty is highly correlated with a low level of education, why haven’t you done anything about the large numbers of undereducated Americans and about greatly improving our public schools? How would you improve our public schools?

Thirteenth question: Explain how tariffs work. Explain how the tariff mechanism works. You say that foreign countries and exporters would pay the tariffs, not Americans. But that’s not true. In fact it’s American importers who pay the tariffs and they pass on the tariff costs to American consumers. Are you lying and misleading Americans on purpose, or are you simply ignorant about tariffs? And if you impose 100% and 200% tariffs, there won’t be any tariff imports (because priced out of the market), so you won’t raise lots of money as you say!

Fourteenth question: Do you know what QE is? Explain how it works. Is QE necessarily inflationary? What are the implications of QE, regarding outstanding federal debt held by the Federal Reserve? Does it necessarily have to be passed on to future generations?

Fifteenth question: Successful businessmen don’t have their companies go bankrupt. Your companies have gone bankrupt. So how can you claim to be a great businessman?

Sixteenth question: Why were some of your charities forcibly shut down?

Seventeenth question: Why shouldn’t the Haitians of Springfield OH sue you for defamation, accusing them of stealing pets and eating them? Is it moral and proper to accuse people of misconduct without having any solid proof, just on rumors, hearsay?

Eighteenth question: Why did you have a secret meeting at the White House with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and the Russian Ambassador in early 2017, inviting only Russian government photographers and not also American photographers? If Russia hadn’t published those photos, Americans would never have known about the meeting. Why did you want to hide it from Americans?

Nineteenth question: Why did you have no official American government translator at one of your meetings with Putin in Moscow? So that we would not have an official record of the conversation, contrary to normal practice? What were you hiding from Americans?

Twentieth question: You recently said that there is no more global warming, that we are now in a period of global cooling. On what did you base that assertion?

Twenty-first question: Was it Christian, or in any way moral, to separate migrant children from their parents when you were president?

Twenty-second question: Is it Christian, or in any way moral, to discriminate on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or race?

Twenty-third question: Is it Christian, or in any way moral, to mistreat or be intolerant of immigrants legally residing in the USA?
