Freedoms That Hang in the Balance

Trump can and will bankrupt America unless there’s some paradigm shift in the heavenlies. It’s what he’s use to, it’s what he’s good at.

What’s he’s familiar with, after all? We can see it coming in the extra $500 billion he’s promised to defense, his favors to technocrats, the $10 billion to his Board of Peace, his Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s $70 million plane, the shady property deals that occurred with his concentration camps, his tax breaks to his Palm Beach buddies, and his cryptocurrency scams. Not to mention he’s suing the government for tens of billions.

His economy is sucking all the money out of our pockets. People are too broke to spend and unsure of how to invest because of uncertainty in Trump’s policies – on a daily basis he is changing the levels of tariffs.

It seems that nothing goes our way. I expect nothing less going forward than that he do will everything he can to harm the country and enrich his pockets.

This is what Donald is used to. His father paid for everything and always bailed him out. So we became his sugar daddy or uncle sugar, due to providence. He will take and take and take. Its what he’s used to.

And it seems like every major business and the super rich are taking the opportunity to go for maximum profit. Like the Trump Presidency, the billionaire class must come to an end or we can count on becoming true serfs in a new American feudal system. Our unregulated business environment and lawless politicians are destroying the host and not leaving any meat on the bone for regular people.

They have found their champion in Donald Trump and our country is not well because of it. Trump’s alliance with Putin over Ukraine smells like Hitler’s plot against Poland with Stalin. Is this the country we have become?

The bottom line is Trump has stolen levers of power that we’re being damaged by a presidency out of balance and the greatest need is for protecting the union from an autocracy. This potential monarchy is the ultimate threat to the intention and will of the Founding Fathers. From what heights our country has fallen to what depths of misery we are existing.

We need a revolution. Not one of violence but one of political correction. Corporate America has the citizenry between a rock and a hard place. We can’t complain or demand our rights without expecting the consequence of a violent correction from the state. We are America and the oligarchs are a cancer upon us. We deserve our place at the negotiating table, the bully pulpit belongs to the people. The continuation of our great nation and our freedoms that hang in the balance.
