Debate Prep - Asking the Hard Questions



Abortion


Mr. Trump - I am sure you agree that a decision about when or whether to terminate a pregnancy is a very intimate decision. It is a decision that changes a family's future, forever.


I am very humble about that decision even though I am a Catholic and try to obey the laws of our church; even I think it is a decision best left to the pregnant woman and her medical team without my interference.


Yet, I recognize that some well-meaning political leaders consider than abortion is actually an act of murder and not acceptable under any circumstances. You are proud of your support for the Supreme Court in its decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision recently. That decision made it difficult or impossible for many women to abort a fetus. 


I ask you Mr. Trump, what will you do if your daughter or daughter in law has a pregnancy that will take her life unless she undergoes an abortion.


What will you do? Will you seek an illegal but safe procedure to save her life and thereby acknowledge that the law does not apply to you? 


Alternatively, will you obey the law and refuse to help your family member even if she will die?


American women deserve an answer from you. What will you do?




Inflation


Mr. Trump: You have complained about how my Administration has failed to stop inflation from hurting American families. We agree that many families today have a hard time providing necessities for their families. While sometimes I wish I could act more directly, the fact is that no President can change prices in our market economy. We have to act indirectly to make life better for working Americans.


Perhaps you are not aware that the President has no ability to raise or lower prices in our market economy - that is ZERO ability to set prices. Nixon tried changing prices, and it failed miserably [see ' Confessions of a price controller' Book by C. Jackson Grayson, Louis Neeb, 265 pages, January 1, 1974; ISBN     9780870940750 (ISBN10: 0870940759)]


What my administration does is to work diligently to make life easier for working people by raising wages through labor union actions and to reduce the market power of monopolies to set high prices. We support and encourage labor unions in their efforts to raise family incomes for all Americans. And, we put pressure on regulators to prosecute businesses with monopoly power so that competition can enter the markets and force lower prices on all. We hope those efforts will ease the burden on American families.


Mr. Trump you have said that labor unions should be prevented from succeeding in their efforts to raise wages and that businesses should be able to thwart workers' efforts to form unions. Since you take campaign contribution from corporations who want wages to go lower and for their monopoly power to remain even if working families suffer from your actions, what will you do to help the American family? What is your plan to make life easier for us??


So far, Mr. Trump, it seems that you will do your best to make billionaires and CEO's richer and the rest of us poorer. Is that correct ??



Rule of Law


Mr. Trump, you seem acutely aware that our Democratic Republic is a creature of the laws and the systems we rely on to enforce those laws. You have said repeatedly that you will not obey the laws if you do not like them. In addition, you have gathered a collection of felons and foreign agents in your attempts to take power by force. 


I am convinced that you will lose the popular vote for President this year by several million votes. I am also convinced that you will create or incite a violent attack on our institutions the same way you did in 2021 in order to regain power as President through unlawful means. 


We are prepared Mr. Trump so that your actions will fail and perhaps many of your followers will die. There is no amount of force you can command that will achieve your objectives.  


For the love of God, call off your forces and accept the will of the voters. 


Assault Weapons


Mr. Trump, you support the NRA and the companies that make and sell assault weapons. They make lots of money by encouraging unstable people to kill children. All the deaths at school massacres are on you Mr. Trump. 


They are on you.
