![Donald Trumpās felony convictions are fueling another disinformation campaign, this one equal in destructive force to his Big Lie. Orchestrating a unified response reminiscent of Germany in the 1930s, House Speaker Mike Johnson and his Trump acolytes are weaving Trumpās criminality into a false indictment of the American legal system. Republicans are blaming President Joe Biden for outcomes over which a sitting U.S. president has no control: convictions pursued by an independently elected District Attorney, pursuant to a state criminal code, as determined by 12 independent jurors, who were selected with the help of Trumpās own trial team.

![As soon as fossil-fuel financed Donald Trump was sworn into office, he got busy destroying the nationās climate progress. In June of 2017, Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw from the Paris Treaty, shamefully walking away from a global commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the only signatory country in the world to do so. Among Trumpās early steps to halt climate progress, Scott Pruitt, his Environmental Protection Agency director, scrubbed climate science information off the U.S. agencyās website.

![Recent polls suggest half the country may vote against their own self-interests in November. The self-sabotage is head-turning: Christians who defend debauchery; poor people who give their money to a billionaire with rotating Ponzi schemes; and pensioners who donāt understand that tax cuts for the 1% threaten their own entitlements. As the new Time Magazine interview made clear, Trump has done nothing for the common man and everything for his wealthy donors, yet somehow, that fact doesnāt seem to compute.
