Freedom and democracy have been competing with tyranny and greed since mankind arrived. During both World Wars, America led in the sacrifice of our soldiers and resources. Ever since, American freedom has been seriously deteriorating. My book America's Most Recent Five Fake Presidents and Why They Love the Lie is an attempt to help restore old-fashion intelligence, graciousness, along with freedom and democracy. These five fake presidents--Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Donald Trump--have all deliberately damaged freedom, intelligence, and liberty almost beyond repair.The first four either started or exacerbated wars and are responsible for the untold deaths of American troops, among others. In addition, each created a trove of lies that conservatives have been hiding for years. The fifth, Donald Trump, has built a web of lies that has captured and killed the truth of freedom for a frighteningly large number of Americans, including a number of conservative politicians.In contrast, the intervening Democratic presidents have been able to stop the wars started by these Republican presidents and, in many cases, even restored some much-needed financial assistance to those who need it most. One of the numerous illustrations is the fact that Bill Clinton, in addition to bringing the Bosnia War to an end, balanced the budget four times in eight years and left millions of surplus dollars, which Bush 2 squandered away in his first six months, with Republican praise.
