I will never understand the mindset of Trump supporters.
He is a draft dodger who does not hesitate to send brave men
and women to war and their deaths. While promising to drain the swamp, he is
filed his government with corporate criminals and posted CEO’s to head the
government agencies that are supposed to regulate them, destroying consumer
protections and regulation. The 22 suicides of veterans everyday rarely make
the news while psychiatric professionals and pharmaceutical companies gloat
over their “success” and lucrative government contracts.
Boeing’s CEO has been placed in charge of the Pentagon and is
trying to force the Air Force to accept planes it does not what while the defective
Boeing 737 Max 8 kills people all over the world. The FAA, closely in bed with
Boeing and without qualified inspectors, has allowed a defective plane to remain
in the air far too long. Boeing, who saw European Airbus jetliners get better
fuel mileage, was allowed to put oversized, more fuel efficient engines on jets
that had their wheels and wings moved into an unbalanced position that forces
the nose up then down for catastrophic results.
His destructive environmental policies promise to leave our
children with a more polluted or even a destroyed ecosystem. Evangelicals and
right to life people support him while his policies on mass incarceration,
immigration, healthcare, economics and welfare separate and destroy families.
Poverty is never mentioned while safety net programs are
brutally cut, even though they make up a small fraction of the budget.
Military spending is off the chain while military readiness slips
below our adversaries and his oligarch arms manufacturing buddies reap huge
profits and service members get food stamps.
Young people struggle with mounting debts and limited
economic opportunity while the elderly live in fear of losing their Medicare
benefits and social security benefits.
His mentors and close associates have been philandering,
cross dressing, gay homophobes (Stone, Cohen, Guilliani), while he boasts of
grabbing women’s genitals, openly pays off sex partners…with the support of the
fraudulent evangelical community. He fills his government with white supremacists
that are promoting worldwide racism in support of far right, brutal
dictatorships that murder their citizens at will (Saudi Arabia, The Philippines,
Brazil, North Korea….and Steve Bannon). With the realization of the sentiments
of his racist allies and the fact that people of color outnumber whites, he
wishes to stem the flow of immigrants, incarcerate babies and families and
separate families in an effort to destroy them and create a permanent underclass.
This permanent underclass would revolve in and out of for-profit prisons
creating a profit for his investor class. All this while he supports his own
family’s immigration agenda. His ancestors were immigrants and so is his wife.
Trump practices weaponized anthropology, appointing his
unqualified offspring and associates to international posts. The damage that
Jared Cushner has wrought on The Middle East and Latin America alone promise
carnage and suffering for millions of people. Israel gets more than $10 million
of our tax dollars each day while Detroit gets only a TOTAL $17 million for a
catastrophic mass water poisoning of its population.
Our government
officials must swear allegiance to a hypocritical Zionist Israel where a genocidal
campaign against Palestinians rivals Hitler’s campaign against Jews (one would
think they would be very sensitive to this kind of injustice) and America’s
genocidal campaign against native Americans, blacks, Asians and Latinos. Anyone
who even discusses the crimes of Israel is considered anti-Semitic, including…Jewish
Voices For Peace. We are even threatened currently with six figure fines and
decades of incarceration with pending congressional legislation for having the temerity
to discuss holding Israel accountable for its war crimes.
His Right To Life allies do not care about the lives of
children their policies force women to have after birth. Safety net programs
for the poor, medical programs for children and families are cut or efforts to
discontinue them are pressed forward without alternatives proposed.
Safety net programs for families go unfunded while a cycle of
mass incarceration drives poverty and more crime with poorly constructed get
tough on crime policies without a shortage of funds for police officers (who are
there to keep the poor and less powerful in their places). A bribed and unaccountable judiciary that
only punishes those who do not have enough money to pay for legal assistance
(public pretenders are overloaded and poorly serve their clients). An American
citizen is arrested every 38 seconds for some drug related crime.
Trump’s reversal of established treaties revealed to our long-time
allies and adversaries that America cannot be trusted to keep its word, not
that it had a good track record to begin with. Just ask blacks about the 40
acres and a mule, the Apache, the Cherokee, the Choctaw, the Mexican government
and its invitation to Anglos to occupy its northern territories, the Iranians,
and a host of others who have had their treaties totally ignored.
No, some of these problems did not start with a President who
creates crisis then offers a solution. America has a long history of Trumpism, just
look at President McKinley of the late 19th century. Our most recent
rounds of poorly thought out policy implementation has put ugly American policy
promotion into hyperdrive and revived sick policies from our not too distant
past. This latest round of lies and deception however promises long term damage
of which we may not recover.
