Complaints about Trump

What kind of a leader says "I don't know" repeatedly? Trump constantly says he doesn't know. Any person in a position of authority with that kind of incompetence, and says it out loud, would be summarily fired.

When asked after Epstein's arrest in 2019 if he had any suspicions that Epstein was molesting underaged women: "No, I had no idea. I had no idea."

About QAnon: "I don't know much about the movement other than, I understand they like me very much, which I appreciate but I don't know much about the movement."

What part of your body had an MRI? "I have no idea... I have no idea what they analyzed."

Why he pardoned Binance founder Zhangpeng Zhao: "I don't know who he is."

About grand jury subpoenas to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell: "I don't know anything about it."

About UAE investing $500,000,000 in his crypto company right before he agreed to sell advanced AI chips to UAE: "I don't know about it."

Why he took hundreds of millions from the royal family of Abu Dhabi for his World Liberty Financial: "Well, I don't know about it."

About the Democratic special election in Texas in an area which he won: "I'm not involved in that... I don't know anything about it."

About Noem and Lewandowski's personal relationship: "I don't know about that. I haven't heard that."

About Epstein files: "I don't know anything about the Epstein files."

If he would stop the strikes on Iran and negotiate: "I don't know."

About reports of US attacking freshwater desalination plant in Iran: "I know nothing about a desalinization plant."

If his illegal invasion of Iran would last longer than six weeks: "I don't know, I don't know."

About the military investigation finding that the US struck the Iranian elementary school: "I don't know about it."

Why he's the only one in government saying Iran got a Tomahawk and bombed its own school: "Because I just don't know enough about it."

About the timeline for his illegal invasion of Iran: "I don't know. Whatever it takes."

Answer: An incompetent, dementing man, unfit to be dog catcher.

Our country and the world needs competency in American leadership, one that doesn't answer with, Duh, I don't know. Instead, we have a doofus. America deserves better.

He's 'done the work'

Northwest Ohio deserves more than campaign slogans and political ambition. We deserve a proven conservative who has already delivered results for Northwest Ohio.

Josh Williams has done the work advocating for our community as a legislator in the Statehouse. He has consistently stood up for northwest Ohio families by advocating for property tax relief, public safety, and commonsense reforms that put working people first. He doesn’t just talk about conservative values, he legislates them and defends them when it matters.

Josh has introduced more than 90 pieces of legislation benefiting Ohioans. That includes the Repeat Offender Act to crack down on career criminals, the Protecting Ohio Communities Act requiring municipalities to cooperate with ICE and legislation to modernize Ohio’s obscenity laws to protect children from sexualized performances in public spaces. He has also supported major property tax reforms that will deliver more than $2.4 billion in relief for Ohioans.

Meanwhile, others in this race offer talking points and ambition. But voters should be asking a simple question: What have they actually done for northwest Ohio? Not speeches. Not resumes built in Washington. Not political ladder-climbing. What concrete results have they delivered for our families?

Josh Williams doesn’t need to introduce himself to this region. He lives here. He grew up here. He serves here. He owns a home here. He raised a family here. And his record proves he knows how to fight and win for northwest Ohio.

At a time when experience, accountability and results matter, Josh Williams is a proven conservative and a proven advocate for northwest Ohio. That’s exactly the kind of leadership this district needs.
