Sen. Grassley, tell Trump that the show is over

I'm voicing my concerns about the 2024 election. Former President Donald Trump wants to be president again for all the wrong reasons. He already reached his highest goal as president of the United States and leader of the free world. He had the world by the tail, all he had to do was take care of it. Instead, he let his narcissistic persona and ego get in the way and forgot that the United States is a democracy. Donald Trump now advocates authoritarianism. He instigated the violence at the Capitol to remain in power. If reelected, he threatens retribution to anyone who opposes him. These words and action show that he is a dictator at heart proving that Donald Trump is incapable of being president of any democracy. He can't be trusted with our nation's top secrets and is a danger to our national security. He must never occupy the Oval Office again.
I now have a question for Sen. Chuck Grassley. Are you and the Republican Party ready to give up America's democracy for this man? Donald Trump is a showman. He's putting on a show for all of us right now. It's time for someone to tell him that the show is over. On Aug. 7, 1974, Barry Goldwater, Hugh Scott and John Rhodes made a visit to President Nixon to tell him that his show was over. It is time for you, Sen. Grassley, to round up your colleagues and make a visit to Donald Trump.
