Trump’s First 100 Days – A Total Disaster – A Total Screwup

April 24, 2025

Just think about this for a minute. Trump has been very bad in trying to do the bad things he tries to do. Let that sink in. Most presidents, or shall I say every president before Trump has made it a goal to accomplish as much as they can do within the first 100 days that’s good for the country. It’s the ruler that the country can go by to determine the success of the presidency going forward.

Many of my friends just dismiss what goes on with Donald Trump. As they think since they voted for him and he won the election, they don’t have to follow what’s going on, because their leader, a convicted felon and rapist, can keep the country safe, and all will be well. But what Donald Trump has proven in his first 90 days is that there has been just a comedy of errors for just about everything he has done or has tried to do. What my dear friends fail to see are these comedy of errors he has made since day 1.

30 SCREWUPS ARE LISTED BELOW and Trump hasn’t even completed his first 100 days.

1) Donald Trump came out of the gate on day one in his surprise to destroy the government as one of his orders was a White House memo to freeze all federal grants and loans. But in less than 48 hours he had to take it back. He rescinded his own memo freezing Federal Grants and created confusion and legal challenges. It was the first big thing he did, but he immediately had to take that back.

2) He puts somebody in charge of the FBI who he actually didn’t want to put in charge of the FBI.

According to the Wall Street Journal…

“The White House officials goofed on the White House website and listed the wrong man in charge of the FBI, people familiar with the matter said. Instead of correcting the error, officials let it stand, and the two men traded temporary titles…”

So they accidentally put the wrong person in charge as the acting head of the FBI. Now that was super smart.

3) Then the CIA sent unclassified email with names of recent hires.

4) Trump’s actions made it possible for the U.S. Postal Service to  stop accepting accept packages from China. When he made an announcement, he had no idea of the implications of what it would cause. Every word that the president says is scrutinized by the world. The Post Office alerted Trump that based on what he announced, the United States could no longer receive mail from China.  Obviously this had to be reversed. Real smart.

5) Trump and Musk fired the director of the National Security Agency (NSA). Nothing big here, but the NSA happens to handle the safe transportation and storage of the U.S. nuclear weapons. This was a major screw up. Trump and Musk fire but then try to rehire nuclear weapons workers. Are you kidding me?

6) DOGE claims that it saved $8 Billion in one contract, but actually it was only $8 Million. They were only off by around 100,000%. Remember Trump only hires the smart guys starting with Elon Musk. That’s why to this date the shares in Musk’s car company – Tesla, have now dropped 71% in value.

7) The Agriculture department tries to hire fired workers tied to the bird flu response. The bird flu was spreading, but Trump and Musk fire all the professionals that could handle bird flue issues. He fires all of the bird flue people in the middle of the bird flu, another super screwup. How cool was that!?</?:/

8) Then, after Trump decided to end the Free Covid Test Program, he reverses his decision just a day later. The tax payers bought all of these unused tests, and now Trump planned to incinerate the millions of tests. It would mean that if you wanted a test from that point on, instead of getting one that the taxpayers already paid for, you would have to deal out additional cash for a test.

9) Trump decides that the administration would end legal aid for migrant children. But then in just 24 hours, Trump reverses the decision. Trump realizes that it wouldn’t be possible to have migrant children appear in court without representation.

The administration has also again tried to take away lawyers to represent the migrant children and this is still a live issue.

10) Trump cuts the program that helped the 9/11 first responders. Trump couldn’t defend that action, so this decision gets reversed too.

11) Elon Musk sends out email to all Federal Government employees to respond to a questionnaire, and that if they didn’t respond, they would be fired.  The Federal agencies just ignored the email. Trump and Musk could not back the threat, and noone who didn’t comply got fired.

12) Regarding the VA, Trump cuts liberal WOKE programs like cancer treatment, and support for veterans with cancer and burial services for veterans. Imagine that. Trump cuts burial services for veterans. After so many people rejected this rule and file lawsuits, Trump reinstates the liberal programs that should have NEVER been cut. Real smart.

13) Elon Mush admits DOGE accidentally eliminated prevention measures combatting the Ebola virus.  Now that is real smart.

14) Trump reverses course after putting crisis hotlines on hold. In a quote from the Federal News Network…

 “Due to an administrative error, job offers for some Veterans Crisis Line positions that were scheduled to be filled later this month were mistakenly rescinded. This issue has been addressed and VA is in the process of reissuing these offers”

What kind of administrative error cuts the suicide hotline? This was another major screw up.

15) DOGE deletes hundreds more from list of savings.

“Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has deleted hundreds more claims from its mistake-plagued “wall of receipts”

per the New York Times. Continuing,

“Late Sunday night, the group erased or altered more than 1,000 contracts it had claimed to cancel, representing more than 40 percent of all the contracts listed on its site last week.”

16) Trump then abruptly walks back his directive to fire thousands of Federal Employees. Why would he fire them in the first place. Did he have a real reason to, except to want to save money to then be deferred to the wealthy in an upcoming tax cut”

“In a revised guidance issued to the heads of federal agencies, the Office of Personnel Management…tries to rewrite history by claiming it never actually ordered agencies to fire probationary employees” per the HuffPost.

17) The next day

“At 2 p.m. Tuesday, the General Services Administration posted a list of 443 properties it was considering for sale – an inventory that ranged from an El Paso toll booth to the Food and Drug Administration’s research campus in Silver Spring, Maryland”

according to Bloomberg reporting. And then the report continues…

”In the next five hours, more than 100 properties were removed from the catalog, including the agency headquarters of Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Justice, Labor and Veterans Affairs.” 

Now that was pretty smart, or shall I say pretty dumb. I guess we don’t need any of those agencies. But then the very next day, the entire list had been removed.

So did Donald Trump actually want to get rid of the headquarters of the Justice department, who knows. They put buildings up for sale, then they took the notices all down. Do we ever know what Donald Trump wants to do, other than to destroy the Federal Government? The Administration pretended it didn’t even happen. They didn’t answer any questions, and didn’t explain anything. But facts are facts and this crazy administration cannot deny them.

18) So then we get back to tariffs. In a Los Angeles Times headline

“In dizzying reversal, Trump pauses tariffs on some Mexican and Canadian products.“

19) Then Trump attacks social security by cutting phone services in a report in the Washington Post.

“Social Security scraps far-reaching cuts to phone services after Post report.”

20) How about this headline about social security, also in the Washington Post…

”More than 400 Social Security numbers, other private information revealed in JFK files.”

In that article it stated that

“The Social Security numbers and other private information of more than 400 former congressional staffers and others were made public Tuesday in the unreacted files related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.”

President Trump ordered the release of this information. No other president before Trump thought it necessary to reveal social security numbers in JFK files. Just leave it up to Trump, all all will stay safe. Yea, if you believe that, think again. Imagine as a former Congressional staffer that you realize that your social security information was now ‘PUBLIC INFORMATION’. So what they had to do next was to find out who the living individuals were whose Social Security information was now public and issue them new Social Security numbers. That was easy for the government to do, but just think on the confusion now given to these people with new social security numbers and all the documents they needed to update with the new number. After this happened, there was absolutely no explanation given to the public. Their names, their place of birth, there birthdays and hundreds of unreacted social security numbers were now public.

21) How about this most recent issue. From an article in the Atlantic publican by Jeff Goldberg in late March,

“The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans.”

22) And another stellar late screwup.  This one was in NPR.

“Trump administration admits Maryland man sent to El Salvador prison by mistake.”

So what does the Trump administration do with the dictator of El Salvador in the White House? They say that because the Maryland man will have to stay there now because the United States has no jurisdiction in El Salvador, even if the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the man must be brought back. It was stated in the meeting with the dictator that the Supreme Court ruled 0-9 that the Supreme Court favored the Trump administration. But obviously that was a lie. The vote was 9-0 against Trump. None of the migrants sent to El Salvador were given any rights before they were deported. Where was “Liberty and Justice for All” abided by in this country when that happened? It made no difference if they were illegal migrants or not, they deserved equal justice under the law. The government still hasn’t attempted to get the man back even after the judgement by the Supreme Court. So now thanks to Trump, we are in a Constitutional crisis. Oh, and wait another minute. It has beeen determined that there is a SECOND man that was sent to ElSalvador by mistake and Trump is doing nothing to try and get him back. The Justice Department’s response… “Oh well, it’s too late to get him back now, because we have no authority in a foreign land”.

I have been right about many things I’ve published on this website and mark my words, eventually someone will go to jail because more than one Federal judge in this country has cited CRIMINAL CONTEMPT against the Trump administration and who represents Trump, which means someone WILL go to jail if the issues is not resolved.  The Federal judges say if the Maryland man is returned to the United States from El Salvador, the criminal contempt charges would be expunged. Of course, because of Trumps immunity from the Supreme Court, he won’t be the one going to jail if someone has to. But whoever else was involved in sending the migrants to El Salvador, they are now facing jail time. It looks like Trump may have to find new attorneys. But never fear, Trump will get them out. He backs criminals and dictators.

23) Sticking to tariffs, in another headline in the Washington Post,

“Trump’s tariffs hit even remote islands. One is mainly home to penguins.”  I guess Trump wants penguins to pay tariffs.

Super cool. If not blood ‘from a turnip’ or ‘blood from a human’ then why not…’Blood from a penguin’? Right?  They should be tariffed too.

24) Then a BBC report

“‘We’ll make mistakes’” says RFK as fired US health staff were asked to return.

25) A few days lager in the Economic Times publication

“Economists reveal major Math blunder in Donald Trump’s tariff formula that inflates impact by 400%, could spark global trade chaos.”

26) Then in another Washington Post article,

“National Park Service restores Underground Railroad webpage after outcry.”

It was just another screwup. When the White House couldn’t defend it, they quietly undid it and never revealed that they made a mistake. So much for transparency.

27) Then…

“DOGE cuts at a Florida manatee refuge have been reversed – for now” also found in the Washington Post.

38) Then in the AP

“Trump administration says it cut funding to some life-saving UN food programs by mistake.”

That was just another screwup.

These announcements seem to be happen daily. The very next day after the administation claimed to cut funding to some life-saving UN food programs,

“Trump announces sudden reversal on tariffs, lowering most to 10% but hiking China’s to 125%.” 

But Trump warns his friends as he is even caught on camera advising his friends that he was going to reverse the tariffs, which would impact the stock markets and he and his friends could take advantage of the stock markets to make money. I think they call that ‘insider tradiing’, wouldn’t you think.

The mistakes this administration has made in less than 100 days is suffocating. Never before has an administration been so corrupt and unable to handle the duties they try to perform, but fail in every way because none of them are actually qualified in any way to serve. This administration is a joke. Of course Trump WILL NEVER take the blame for anything that goes wrong, but he will blame someone else, and then fire them claiming and take credit for fixing the problem. He says he will not fire Defense Secretary Hegseth, but Trust me, in due time he will, because he has to blame someone for recent WAR PLANS that were sent out on non-qualified government secured communication systems that were shared with a reporter that did not have any security clearance to know about the information he reported on, alerting the world that Trump screwed up again. Later it was proven that it was Hegseth himself who leaked the plans, Trumps own Defense Secretary, who now put thousands of people in harms way with his actions. Hegseth even sends a classified email to his own family bragging what the government was about to do.

29) Then there is the Harvard thing. A letter with accusations was sent to Harvard by mistake, so the Trump officials say, about their WOKE policies. Harvard sues the administration for the accusations, but then Trump immediately backs down just as he had with tariffs.

Trumps popularity since he because president is sinking like a rock. There is not even one poll, even on Fox news, where Trump is NOT under water. He is failing in EVERY regard as president. There are multiple demonstrations every week across the country by the American people revolting and now there is talk about Trump impeachment. Is anything going well for Trump. He brought this all up himself. If he thinks everything is going well now, he has to wait to see what happens when everything goes bad. Remember the 25th Amendment? There is now talk already, within the first 100 days of his presidency, of his upcoming impeachment.

30) Last but not least, as I’ve been explaining since he has been talking about tariffs, even before he put them in effect, that it would destroy our economy. Now, since he actually put them in effect, the economy is spiraling, the stock markets have lost trillions of dollars, people’s retirements are being savaged, and people are revolting. That’s only what has happened in the first three months of Trump’s presidency. The stock markets are extremely unstable, and it’s almost impossible to follow them on a daily basis.

Yes, democracy is being challenged here, by a confined autocrat that we now have in the Whitehouse. Even before Trump was elected for a second term, I warned about details found in ‘Project 2025’. Now a lot of what you find in that document is coming true.

What I’d hoped WOULD happen now according to Trump’s own statements while he was running for president, would be the end of the Ukraine/Russian war, no tax on tips, no taxes on Social Security and even the price of eggs would go down, as Trump promised the economy would get better. All of his promises were lies.  The Ukraine/Russian War is still rampant, even though he said he could end the war in his first day as president. Waiters and watresses are still paying taxes on tips they receive. Social security recipients still are taxed on their social security. Regardless, Trump always gets away with his dirty deeds because the Republican Congress backs him up all the way. As the saying goes, what goes up must come down. Another one that I say is that what Trump starts will also end. Unfortunately for Trump, all will not end well for Trump.

The mid-terms, if we ever make it there, will be an eye-opener for the Republicans. I foresee now that the House and Senate will be taken over by Democrats, and I go as far as stating that the next president will be a Democrat. Because of Trump’s actions and the actions by the Republican Congress, they will loose ALL control of government in 2026.

Then and only then can this country try and come back from a totally disasterous Trump 2nd term in office.

The ECONOMY is about to go over a cliff

February 27, 2025

Donald Trump is determined to wreck the economy. Here is what he posted on Truth Social just moments ago. The date is February 27, 2025 at 8:05AM CT. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has taken a leap, but it was not as big as it could have been in a positive direction if Donald Trump didn’t make that tariff announcement 30 minutes before the opening bell.

Here is what Trump said in his Truth Social post…

“Drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels. A large percentage of these Drugs, much of them in the form of Fentanyl, are made in, and supplied by, China. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous and highly addictive POISONS. Millions of people have died over the last two decades. The families of the victims are devastated and, in many instances, virtually destroyed. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA. And therefore, until it stops, or is seriously limited, the proposed TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled. China will likewise be charged an additional 10% Tariff on that date. The April Second Reciprocal Tariff date will remain in full force and effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

So now starts. The continued downward spiral of our economy will be immediate. With Trump’s very reckless response as given in the above statement right before the markets opened today, the stock markets will immediately start their downward spiral. Great job Donald!

Canada will not sit back and neither will Mexico. They have already decided to move a lot of business away from the US because of Trumps recent threats, but now he is actually going to go through with his madness. Canada has already secured new trade with countries in the EU because of Trump’s initial threat a month ago, as oil and gas and other minerals are now leaving Canada that were originally going to go to the US, but now are going to Europe and China.

As I have been saying for quite some time now, when Trump finally pulls the trigger and actually initiates the tariffs to Canada and Mexico, those countries will reciprocate with their tariffs on goods going into the US. Trump says there will be ‘PAIN’. He is actually clueless. He has no idea how many people in the US he is hurting. Far more than the “more than 100,000 people” he will be hurting in this country which will affect free trade around the world. Unemployment will skyrocket.  If US companies want merchandise from these so called tariffed countries, the companies will pay the higher prices but then pass the cost onto the American consumer.

As he states, “TARIFFS scheduled to go into effect on MARCH FOURTH will, indeed, go into effect, as scheduled.” The markets will not wait until that date.

They reacted today. The Dow lost 270.90 points.

On Monday, The Dow was up 131 points from Fridays close.

On Tuesday, the Dow dropped 112 points.

Wednesday, the Dow dropped 110 points.

Today the Dow dropped another 270 points.

Do you se a pattern here? The economy is about to fall of of a cliff, and it will be pushed over when Trump announces tariffs on Canada and Mexico. But Trump doesn’t care now to help the economy or the middle class.

Tourism from Canada to the US is now being discouraged in Canada. People are cancelling vacations they had scheduled in the US. So, US tourism will feel the “pain”. Not Donald Trump. He will play another game of golf today.

It never had to be this way. There is nothing but chaos in Washington D.C. at the moment. Trumps cabinet are with him ‘lock, stock and barrel’, and they seem to be determined to carry out Trumps will that will hurt this country. Democracy will now be tested unlike it has never been tested before in this country.

Trump to Blame for American Airlines flight 5342 crashing into a Blackhawk helicopter Wednesday night

February 1, 2025

Trump previously fires the head of the FAA before the crash. The New York Times reports that a preliminary FAA report now saying a labor shortage is to blame for the American Airlines flight 5342 crashing into a Blackhawk helicopter Wednesday night. All 64 passengers on board that flight as well as three soldiers inside the helicopter died, bring the the death toll to 67.  This has turned out to be the worst air tragedy in our country since November of 2001. The New York times reported that the staffing inside the air traffic control towers on Wednesday night “was not normal”. The FAA memo according to the New York Times says Wednesday that one air traffic controller was doing a job normally performed by two people. It has been reported that Mike Whitaker, Biden’s FAA head quit on inauguration day. Whitaker says he was pressured to resign by Elon Musk who is in charge of Donald Trump’s newly formed Department of government efficiency. Whitaker as head of the FAA hit Musk’s SpaceX with nearly $650,000 in fines last year. Whitaker cited SpaceX for safety violations during three 2023 launches Elon Mush was outraged. He responded to the safety violation fines by saying “Humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA.”  So, it looks as if Elon Musk got exactly what he wanted. He got radical reform at the FAA. There was NOBODY in charge of the FAA Wednesday night when the Blackhawk helicopter collided with that American Airlines passenger jet. Why was there no one named in Whitaker’s place? Its because Donald Trump FORGOT to name somebody to head the FAA. How could he remember to put somebody new as head of the FAA when he was so busy firing people? But Elon Musk ordered the head of the FAA to resign according to the Huffington Post. Why would he do such a thing? Maybe it’s because of the $650,000 fines he got last year for safety violations.

Then Trump hold a post-crash news conference last Wednesday night and immediately announced he as named a temporary new head of the Federal Aviation Authority. It was an unbelievable news conference showing the lack in leadership skills of Trump.  What’s the rush now?  We didn’t have anyone in charge of the FAA on the night of the fatal crash because according to the Huffington Post, Musk fired the guy in charge of the FAA possibly over the head of the FAA’s obsession with safety. Why did Musk have that power? Was it because Trump just gave him the power? That is also against the law.  Less than 2 weeks back, inside the Oval Office, less than 2 weeks after announcing massive spending cuts along with massive firings of federal employees, we end up with the worst air disaster since 2001 and there’s nobody in charge of our Federal Aviation Authority until yesterday, because the richest man in the world reportedly fired the head of the FAA because the richest man in the world perhaps doesn’t like to be fined over safety violations. So now what is Trump supposed to do? With Donald Trump, the best defense is an incredibly offensive offense. So, what does he do? He blamed the midair collision on black people.  He blamed that the fatal air collision was caused by DEI – (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) which as we all know is a dog whistle for black people. Trump complained about all the DEI hires at the FAA under the Biden Administration and he said that is what caused the crash. He said “A group within the FAA determined the workforce as too white. They actually came out with a directive saying it’s too white,”so they had to hire more black people.

While Federal employees were fishing victims out of the Potomac River, Federal employees were receiving offers to buy out of their contracts. Trump accused Biden of lowering the standards for air traffic controllers. But what he meant was that Biden hired people who weren’t white. To drive home the point, Vice-President J.D. Vance, who spread the lie about Haitians in Springfield Ohio eating cats and dogs. JD Vance took to the podium and claimed, “We want to hire the best people who are actually competent enough to do the job”.  If that was the case, then why was J.D. Vance chosen as Trump’s running mate? The implication from JD Vance is that only white people are competent. And what he was saying was not enough. Because Trump was unable to let J.D. Vance get all the attention, Trump grabs the microphone away from J.D. Vance, then lied saying that it was Joe Biden, who thought it easier to just hire people of color, lowered the standards for becoming air traffic controllers. Wow…That is an outright lie. Donald Trump will be known as the worst president in U.S. history. He is incompetent. He cannot make decisions on his own except the ones that hurt other people. Now he’s firing more people, the lawyers and others in the FBI that had anything to do with his convictions before the election. He’s cleaning house, except that he doesn’t have the right to do so. He’s making his own laws and breaking existing ones. Why? Maybe because he has presidential immunity. Congress only has the right to make laws. Not Trump. Trump is fixing to be sued over and over again. The way he is going, he will never last. Hopefully the country can withstand his lawlessness before it collapses before he does, and the way he is going, he definitely will not make it an entire four more years.

Trump’s Tariff Threats Cause $575-$690 billion LOSS in U.S. Imports

December 4, 2024

Trump is not even the acting president, but he’s acting like he is the President by informing foreign countries he’s getting ready to tariff them. Without even taken office, Donald Trump has seriously hurt this country’s economy. The U.S.  and China account for at least 40% of the World’s GDP. In the recent past, the U.S. provided at least 60% of all China soybean imports. Now, no more, thanks to Trump. He is already bankrupting the country before he officially becomes president.

Let me outline what his tariff rhetoric has done before he will become president…

  • The U.S. is losing its largest customer of crops such as soybeans. They are turning their purchases of electronics to Europe, to Brazil for agriculture and Russia for agriculture and oil products.
  • There will be uncertainty in the market and American investors and farmers will be affected. Watch the stock markets.
  • Loosing China in these sectors as a trade partner is sending shockwaves to supply chains, employment and innovation.

The U.S.- China trade war began in Trump’s first term in 2018 when Trump imposed tariffs on $360 billion of Chinese goods. Back then, China retaliated with $110 billion in exports to the U.S. and Technology and energy were among the hardest hit sectors. As proof of this back in 2018, exports to China fell over 20 percent. U.S. farmers lost about $4 billion because of U.S. tariffs. Presently, Trump is only threatening China, but China is taking the first shot at the United States, not even giving Trump a chance to retaliate, because he’s not the president yet and he is powerless. Trump will not take this sitting down, and as an attempt to further his cause, he will create more damage between China and the United States when he is sworn into office on January 20, 2025.

  • Instead of making China pay for tariffs, the shift away from trade with the United States has the effect of making products more expensive and less competitive in the global markets. The U.S. voter turned to Trump because they believed he was better for the economy. Really?!&/?”%???
  • Trump’s tariffs will be an immediate cause why agricultural products and electronics will go up in price.
Tariffs act as a tax on U.S. businesses and consumers.

Does Trump care? Absolutely not. He hasn’t learned from the debacle he caused in 2018, as he already has created a trade mess with China in 2024, and he’s not even president yet.

Remember in a previous post on this website when I made the claim that Trump will hurt the economy instead of making it better? Well, here is the proof of that. Donald Trump is so macho and reckless, and he believes that the world will run on his whim. Trump wants to be the strongest leader of the free world, and he is showing he is the weakest. He has no clue. He is so far out of touch with the needs of the American people and no clue on what it will take in a global economy to make it better.  Now we will have to close our eyes and hold on tight and hope this county can survive a second Trump presidency for the next four years. This is just the beginning.

Convicted Felon Trump’s Win – NOT A MANDATE

December 3, 2024

Donald Trump’s 2424 win is hardly a mandate. The following chart just goes to show you what history will say about his actual popularity, as this clearly shows that his margin of victory compared to other presidents dating back to 1924 relates to just a speck of dust compared to the universe.

He succeeded in one thing for himself. That was to stay out of jail for the next four years. The United States is not in the habit of putting a sitting president in jail during their term in office, but Trump now realizes that when he gets finished with his second term as the worst president the United States ever had, that he will be going to jail. State prosecutions cannot be excused by any future president, even one from the Republican Party, who would like to pardon Trump and expunge his 34 counts of felony that will put him in jail in 2029.

Yes, Jack Smith has recently dismissed Trump’s pending cases but without prejudice. So what does ‘without prejudice’ mean?

In the legal context, ‘with prejudice’ means a case has been permanently dismissed and cannot be brought back to court. This is a “final disposition” that indicates the court’s decision is final and absolute in all courts for all subsequent cases.

In contrast, a case dismissed “without prejudice” means the case can be brought back to court. This could be because the court did not bar future claims, or because the plaintiff wants to refile to correct a procedural or technical problem. It also could be because a sitting president cannot go forward with official proceedings of condemnation because he has a job to do. After he is finished with his job as president, the cases will be rekindled and brought to their conclusions as originally intended before he became president for the second time.

Does anyone believe that Donald Trump will want to leave office so he can go straight past ‘GO’ and go to Jail? He wants to be like Putin, or Kim Jong-un or, better yet, like President Roosevelt. He is and never will be like Roosevelt. Furthermore, he served in 4 terms as a U.S. president before term limits were introduced to the United States in 1951 when the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution went into effect. The 22nd Amendment was passed by Congress in 1947, but took 4 years to go into effect, as a new amendment to the Constitution must be ratified by three-quarters of the states before it could go into effect. Thanks to Minnesota, who finally approved the amendment, it became the law of the land.

The autocrat Trump is and will show the American people this year will open Republicans eyes, and the damage he will do to this country and to other countries around the world will be heart-breaking within the next 4 years. He will continue to bring division to the United States.

He has openly discussed in the past and present that he would like to invade a country, namely Mexico, to “take out” the cartel that he believes is responsible for bringing in drugs to America like ‘Fentanyl’. Likewise, he wants to tariff countries like Mexico, Canada and China. He was re-elected because the American people believed that he was the better candidate for bringing back the economy, even though our economy is without question the best in the world. Other countries wished they were as successful as the United States. Our economy will falter if he makes good on his tariffs to the other countries, because U.S. businesses will fail as they will have to raise prices on merchandise and services for which the American people will refuse to or just outright can’t afford to pay. It will be a domino effect, like what happened to companies during the Great Depression. Yes, the great businessman that he is, as he has gone bankrupt at least 4 times in his life to prove he knows what he is doing, will bankrupt the country just because he wanted to stay out of jail, when a jail sentence in his future is inevitable. A rapist that he is, as he was convicted of the crime in a U.S. court.

Of course, that is easy to say because I know what will be planned to happen in the future, but slick Donald Trump most likely will find a way to not serve any jail time. But remember, Donald Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a STATE court, which means no future president can pardon him from serving if he goes to jail. I truly believe that the future will not be kind to Donald J. Trump, who in my mind has been and will continue to be the worst president the United States has and will EVER have.

The United States people have decided to elect this criminal president, and only time will tell how much damage he will do before he leaves office a second time, especially  if democracy fails and he becomes a dictator. He claims he wants to be a dictator on day one, so let’s see if he keeps his word.

Trump is About to WRECK the Economy

November 28, 2024

Donald Trump will wreck the American Economy. I can’t state that in a simpler way, but saying it deserves an explanation.

So, everyone who voted for him including my friends and family, take warning of what will happen to the economy because YOU voted for Trump in the election.

Again, the upcoming actions of the incoming president will be devastating to the economy.

So, let’s talk a scenario that most likely will happen with Trump as our president.

He plans to deport 11 million people without regard as to what that will do to the economy. Undocumented people work in major sectors of the work force. Undocumented people work in the food industry, the food supply chain, construction like in building apartments and homes. That’s just the beginning.

The economic analysis has already proven that it will cause a rise in the consumer cost index and the cost of goods between 3% and 10%. That simply means that whatever you are buying now, scrape up to maybe 10% across the board, because the people who were doing dirty jobs in places that you may not want to do have been deported. This would directly affect housing and the food chain.

As an example, at least 500,000 people work in the construction business. At least 40% of those are undocumented. So, what do businesses do in the construction industry when 40% of their workers get deported? Construction slows down drastically and, in many cases, will just stop.

In the food industry, it’s the same, except this time it’s millions of UNDOCUMENTED  workers that fill the jobs. These people work in the fields; they slaughter the chickens, pigs and cows, in jobs that most people would never want to take. These people in some cases work in 24-hour shifts. So how many people are we talking about in the food industry?  All your really need to know just to put it mildly, at least 40-50% of these people are UNDOCUMENTED.

If Trump carries out deportation of UNDOCUMENTED people, what do you think will happen to prices and in general, the economy. The economy will be devastated.

He plans to do two things at once. While Trump is accomplishing this how about started a trade war involving at least 40% of our economy with partners that supply us things the most. Wow, what a smart thing to do. But to put it honestly, only Trump would ever come up with plans to accomplish it.

Trump all along claimed that he was going to shut down trade from China. But he claims he will only put tariffs on goods from China of only 10%. Instead of carrying that out as if that’s a lot, he has now decided to put a tariff on goods coming from Canada of at least 25%, which means goods coming from Canada will cost more. The tariffs will be paid by the consumer. Things like building materials, food  and electronics. Oh, and that’s not even enough. Trump loves tariffs so much, he also plans to tax goods coming in from Mexico. The construction industry relies on UNDOCUMENTED people to run. If you increase the goods coming in by at least 25%, what do you think will happen to building materials, electronics and clothing goods.

EVERY TARIFF GETS PASSED ON TO THE CONSUMERS. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS EXCEPT TRUMP WHO WILL BECOME KNOWN AS THE DESTROYER OF THE ECONOMY IF HE CARRIES OUT HIS PLANS AS JUST STATED.

Trump claims by doing this to our neighbor countries will stop the flow of drugs and drug trafficking. Even if he could do this, he would wreck the economy as a result.

Canada and Mexico will retaliate. So now, the cost of goods may go up at least 25-30% by imposing tariffs that the consumer must pay for.

I truly believe that Donald Trump will do the inevitable, because he is hiring the trade hawks in his nominated cabinet that will do it.

Trump went personally bankrupt 6 times, now he’s trying to bankrupt the United States, and if he carries on his plan and he’s successful, that is exactly what he will do. Then we go into a recession. Products will become scarce and the cost of things available will skyrocket, but unfortunately most people would not be able to afford the high prices. I’m still struggling to figure out why the country thinks Donald Trump is best for the economy.

We have given the keys to our economy to Trump, and what I just said is what he plans to do. I hope that I’m wrong. I hope that EVERY statement mentioned in this document is wrong. But presently, there is nothing or proof of any kind to say that I am wrong. On January 20th when Trump becomes the 47th President of the United States, let’s see what he does. There will be a flurry of executive actions, and I’m wondering how long it will take for Trump to kick off the tariffs.

Honestly, Donald Trump is a dumb human being. I’ll explain that in another document. But what is mentioned here is just the start of the destruction he plans to accomplish in the next four years. Hopefully in 2026, he will lose the power of the Congress to implement his actions, as the House and Senate will again be taken by the Democrats. If Donald Trump puts on the tariffs, at least one or both will be taken by the Democrats. But the first 2 years of his term are looking to be quite bumpy.

Your head should be up and your chins should be out but this time you need to close your eyes and plug your nose. IT’S COMING! Donald Trump will not run for re-election because he will have served two terms as president, he will act unchecked and has nothing to loose, except what will be waiting for him in 2029 outside of the presidency. I’ll explain this in another article. Hopefully our economy will still be in tact, but if it’s not, it will take another Democratic president to try and right the ship.

 

Republicans Take Full Control of the Federal Government as they take control of Congress

November 13, 2024

Today, it was announced that the Republicans reached the magic number of 218 representatives in the House to gain control of it at least for the next two years until mid-term elections in 2026. So Mike Johnson will continue to be the Speaker of the House at least for the time being.

It appears that the only thing that is stopping the Republicans from gaining absolute control in government is the Filibuster which the Democrats will use to keep laws from reaching Trump’s desk for signature. The question is will the Republicans now get rid of it so they can pass laws with a simple majority without any Democratic votes?

I wouldn’t put it past the Republicans to eliminate the Filibuster? If that happens, Trump and his Maga government will have total control of everything Trump and his cronies want to do.  They are already hunting and pecking the ‘Project 2025’ playbook.

Retribution is  be something that the Republicans want to do. Today, President Trump nominated Rep. Matt Gaetz to serve as attorney general to run the justice department.

If confirmed as an attorney general, Gaetz will have access to incriminating evidence on himself that the Biden Attorney General – Merrick Garland has on him. In the meantime Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress just today, thus eliminating the Ethic Committee investigation which was supposed to become public within the next week. But will it all be for nothing? Also, prior Speaker McCarthy claims that the Senate will block his appointment. All the evidence  that the present Attorney General has on Gaetz will just go away if Gaetz takes over as new Senate leader. The question is whether or not if it actually goes away before the public sees for themselves what is in the report.

Trump is working quickly in choosing his MAGA-ites for Cabinet positions and other high positions in government.

 

Trump wants his Upcoming Senate to take an immediate recess so he can Push In Loyalists into high offices

November 11, 2024

Donald Trump is not even in office yet, but he is already telling his upcoming Republican controlled Senate what to do. He openly is instructing them to take at least 2 weeks of vacation at the start of their tenure in the House in January, so that he could by-pass the Senate confirmations on the people that would normally sit through Senate confirmations to gain a specific office.

When the U.S. Senate is in recess, the president has the right to make appointments on his own without confirmation, so many of the people he wants in his government will have free rein at least for the first 2 years in office. S0 Trump is starting at the top, putting together his cabinet officials that must be loyalists to him to be able to serve, and come January 20, all hell breaks loose.

Joe Biden’s executive orders will immediately be tossed, and Trump will go crazy with the power of the pen to create his own executive orders, and begin to bestow wrath on the American people.

Again, this should be nothing new, but it’s just that people forget. They have forgotten what Trump did when he was president before. Now with no one overlooking his moves and only loyalists will be heard, Trump will do what he wants, and within his official office as president, presidential immunity will take force, and Trump will not be accountable for his actions.

Trump is Busy Filling out his Cabinet

November 11, 2024

The decisions of Donald J. Trump (President-Elect) of the United States, have never been more of a threat to democracy and our freedoms in this country as they are right now at this moment.

With 49 days to go before Trump takes control as the 47th President of the United States, Trump is picking his members of his Cabinet that will rule with him unhinged.

One appointment that I see that is the most critical is the nomination of now former Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz of Florida to be Trump’s choice for attorney general, who was the center of a sex trafficking investigation involving a 17-year-old woman that he became involved with that ended in 2023.  Gaetz was subjected to a bi-partisan ethics subcommittee investigation, where a report about the investigation was to be published within the next few days. But since he now has relinquished his job, the investigation will now be quashed, and there is a chance that the truth will never come out. But who’s to say the information will not be leaked out.

Donald J. Trump wanted an election denier in this post, someone that can perform as attorney general that can and would kill all the Federal investigations of Trump. The president-elect wants to pick candidates for the Cabinet jobs that can do his bidding. The position is supposed to be a non-partisan one, but with Matt Gaetz at the top law position, it would hardly be run as non-partisan. Proof of what would be to come if Gaetz was elected would be to just look at Trump’s pick from his last time as president, a man named William Barr.

This position requires confirmation from the Senate to become official, but Trump wants the U.S. Senate to now go on a 2-week break at the very beginning of their tenure in the new Congress, so Trumps picks could just step into their positions without being confirmed. Why? Because Trump knows that even with a Republican controlled Senate, only 3 Senators would have to object to the Matt Gaetz appointment and Gaetz would be eliminated from the position. In this appointment, I believe that there are more than just 3 Republicans that would vote against Gaetz in A Senate confirmation hearing. Trump would rather Matt Gaetz just step in without a Senate confirmation hearing. He is trying to take advantage of the rule that states the president has the authority to do so in the case that the Senate is not available to confirm appointments because they are in recess.  The rule is normally adheared to in case of an emergency that arrises when the Congress is in recess. Trump is performing in this fashion openly in front of everyone to see, as he is asking them to go on an immediate recess at the beginning of the new Congress, and he just doesn’t care. Trump is openly showing his corruptness.  The bottom line about Matt Gaetz, he doesn’t have the experience and he is not qualified, but the qualification that Trump believes he has is that Matt Gaetz can blow up the government. Trump is aware that now since he will again be in the White House and the House and Senate are in Republican control, he will have full rein to bring in havoc with Matt Gaetz in the top law position who will do his bidding. In the end, Matt Gaetz will use his failed attempt to weaponize Trump to go after the Senators that would not vote for his choice. At the same time, Matt Gaetz gets out of Congress to avoid an ethics investigation but the facts regarding it already sitting in a report can be leaked so the American people can see.

The second Donald Trump choice who most say is unqualified is Tusli Gabbard. He has chosen here to be the Director of National Intelligence. I also believe that the Hawaii Representative from Congress who once was a Democrat that switched sides to become a Republican does not have the chops for the job. Trump is continuing his rage from his first term to want to install very unqualified people to gain positions that he wants to control.

Marko Rubio is Trump’s pick to be the Secretary of State. Rubio can do the job, now loyal to Trump

Republicans on Track to gain Total Control of Government

November 11, 2024

Presently, the U.S. House of Representatives is set to be controlled by Republicans, and it will give Democrats no control over the Federal Government. Donald Trump will hire his minions to slave under him to run the Federal Government and King Trump will commit crimes as President under the umbrella of his office which will allow him to create these crimes and TOTALLY get away from being prosecuted because of them, thanks to presidential immunity given to him by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Republicans are presently on track in the House of Representatives, with a present tally of only 209 seats filled by Democrats and 216 filled by Republicans. The Republicans only need to gain 2 more seats in the upcoming House of Representatives, as there are 10 more seats up for grabs. The party to first reach 218 Senators chosen to serve in the upcoming House will gain control of it for at least the next two years.

The Senate has already fallen to Republicans, as they take control of the Senate on January 3rd. The present Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell will be stepping down as leader, so there will be a new Republican majority leader in the Senate. Mitch McConnell will still serve just as a Senator representing Kentucky.  My guess will be Senator Rick Scott of Florida will become the new Senate leader. Why do I say that? It’s because Trump would like it and Elon Musk supports it. Also, Mitch McConnell doesn’t support Rick Scott. Trump despises McConnell, so whatever McConnell wants, Trump will do the opposite. So, I feel that it’s a sure bet that Rick Scott will gain the position of Senate Majority Leader because the minions under Donald Trump will give Trump what he wants. Most Republicans believe that Scott may be the only Senator out there that would be able to achieve Trumps goals in the Senate. The leader needs to be chosen by a simple majority in the Senate. To me, this is a sure bet. But I have been wrong before.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: November 13th, 2024

As usual as has been the case with my choice for President, The Republican Caucus has chosen Republican Senator John Thune of South Dakota, Mitch McConnell’s pick to be Senate Majority leader, instead of Senator Rick Scott of Florida, whom I thought would get the job. Presently, he is 2nd in rank as the whip, but with a secret ballot by Senators so Trump cannot know who voted against his pick for fear of retribution by Trump, he will take the reins as the Senate Majority leader on January 3rd, despite what Donald Trump wants. Trump was open on who he wanted as the Senate leader, and that was Senator Rick Scott of Florida.

Regarding Trump, never in my wildest imaginations did I believe that a two-time impeached president Trump, a convicted felon and rapist, would be America’s choice for President of the United States, especially what he caused 4 years ago on January 6.  Police and rioters lost their lives because of him as they stormed the Capital, and he just sat down in the White House and watched the scenes unfold on a TV. His own vice-president was being attacked in the Capital, and he did nothing about it. Trump has wiggled out of accountability time and time again for the things he has done in the past that is a clear show of breaking the law.

So, if you are a supporter of democracy, the future of America seems to be grim. But again, the electorate has chosen Donald J. Trump, a sexual predator, a fraudster and last but not least, a convicted felon, to be their leader for the next four years. I push that thought home many times in the future, as the country wreaks of Donald Trumps corruption. The government that looks more and more of an autocracy every day, will be run as Trump will rule as king for the next four years with no guard rails, except for democratic State governments that will continue ruling under the rule of law and oppose Trump any way they can.  Donald J. Trump will govern  just as dictators do around the world. The only ones that can and will keep Donald Trump in check will be state Democrats that obviously will have no power in the Federal Government. These states will do everything in their power to protect their states.

What will Trump and the Republican Party do in the next four years? I can only imagine presently, but my imagination, unfortunately in most cases, will become reality.

For starters, Trump will close the borders as he has promised on January 20th, to be his first act as president. He will instruct ICE to round up and jail and remove millions of people, possibly up to 11 million, who are now in this country. The dreamers, who have been here for most of their lives, may also be rounded up and deported. Trump is fixing to break up families, send back immigrants who desperately want to live here because they will be prosecuted if they return to their own country and in many cases face death. But this is the world we will be living in for the next four years.

Other things to look forward to will be Trump rolling back Biden administration policies on education, firing potentially thousands of federal employees he believes are secretly working against him, and pardoning people who were arrested for their role in the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Look for the immediate firing of Special Council Jack Smith, as Trump will make most of his criminal cases just go away, at least the federal ones. But Trump cannot pardon himself when it comes to his state conviction in the New York hush money case, but he could seek leverage with his status as president-elect in an effort to set aside or expunge his felony conviction and stave off a potential prison sentence.

The Georgia case against Trump involving election interference will most likely be the only criminal case left standing. But nothing will be done in the case until at least 2029, not until Trump steps down as president. The question is, what grips of government will Trump have in four years, and will he be able to be forced to leave office?

Trump will pardon supporters who attacked the capital. Approximately 1,500 people have been charged for what they have done 4 years ago at the U.S. Capital. The convicted felon president calls the rioters “unbelievable patriots”.

In his demented mind, Trump wants to dismantle in what he thinks as a ‘deep state’ of government workers. He will strip tens of thousands of career employees of their civil service protections so that they can be more easily fired. These people working in these positions are apolitical, meaning they do not support political parties, and are usually the last guard rails to what would be ill-advised political decisions of the president. Instead, Trump plans to replace them with people of political status that would support his wishes.

Trump wants to impose tariffs on imported goods, especially those from China. He thinks that’s a way to shrink the federal deficit and help lower food prices. In general, he proposed at least a 10% tariff across-the board on imported goods, a 60% import tax on goods from China and 25% tariff on all goods from Mexico. Trump does not need U.S. Congress to implement tariffs, so here comes the higher prices on merchandise made in China or around the globe on EVERYTHING that is not made in the United States.

Trump claims that he will inform the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum “I’m going to inform her on Day 1 or sooner that if they don’t stop this onslaught of criminals and drugs coming into our country, I’m going to immediately impose a 25% tariff on everything they send into the United States of America.”

Just as a reminder, for Americans to purchase these goods, American citizens will be paying the tariff, not China, and not Mexico. So if inflation was on the ballot in 2024, and Americans believe they made the right move by electing Trump to protect them from inflation, they have a rude awakening coming when higher prices hit the markets on ALL foreign goods, especially from China.

Trump promises to roll back protections for transgender students. He plans to roll back the Biden administration action seeking to protect transgender students from discrimination in schools on the first day of his new administration. Trump plans to roll back new Title IX protections of transgender students from their classmates. Trump plans to cut federal money for any school “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children.”

Trump has pledged to dismantle the Department of Education, which has been a cabinet-level agency since 1980, cut federal funding for schools teaching critical race theory, and bar transgender female athletes from participating in school sports. Donald Trump may close down the Department of Education, but the functions of the Department of Education will need to continue. The department houses the office of Civil Rights, which enforces federal civil rights laws across schools to protect students against discrimination. Regulation by the Department of Education also affect college sports, which is one thing that Republicans would not want to see impacted.

The rights of LGBTQ+ students would suffer under a Trump Administration due to the changes that would likely be made to Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in education. Trump’s policies will welcome sex-based discrimination in education.

Trump wants to “Drill baby Drill”, with the intention of reversing climate policies aimed at reducing planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. He can do this on Day 1, as he can roll back environmental protections, halt wind projects, and scuttle the Biden administration’s target that encourage the switch to electric cars and abolish standards for companies to become more environmentally friendly. He wants increase production of U.S. fossil fuels, and wants to open the Arctic wilderness to oil drilling.

Trump claims he will settle the war between Russia and Ukraine in one day. I can say now that this will be impossible to happen. Trump’s best chance is to get Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table to end the war. But Trump claims he can do anything. We will see what he gets done on day one. There will be a lot of damage done, and little good will come out on day 1, especially if he carries out his threat to be “a dictator on day 1. ”

Mass deportations from the U.S. to Mexico is a sure thing. Trump claims that he would invoke the ‘Alien Enemies Act’. It is a 1780 law that allows the president to deport anyone who is not an American citizen and is from a country in which there is a ‘declared war’ or a threatened or attempted “invasion or predatory incursion.”

He claims that he may deploy National Guard troops to nearby states that refuse to participate in mass deportations of people living in their states. Trump is inviting mass riots and dissention into his immigration policies. What’s not so funny now is that people who voted Trump into office will be affected negatively when it comes to deporting their relatives who are not yet citizens. That was a smart choice, America…?,./{/??.
