Trump Damages the Country

After almost two years of Donald Trump as president, one has to wonder why he gets away with all that he gets away with. Obviously, what contributes to him beleiving that he can get away with anything is because it is true that the Republican controlled Congress lets him get away with everything. Trump believes that he is doing well, as is proof of the growing economy. But the fact is that the economy growth was already in motion when he became president, and Obama should get full credit for it. It actually grew faster during the Great Depression, and even faster during Obamas term in office, compared to Trumps tenure so far.
Trump claims that he is a jobs creator. Yes, many have been created under Trump as you cannot deny that fact. But the real fact is that the jobs numbers for the final 6 years under Obama were greater than Trump’s today.
Trump has created a few higher numbers than Obama. As far as the 2017 deficit under Trump, it went up from $585 billion in 2016 to $666 billion in 2017. Way to go Trump. The natijonal debt crossed $20 trillion and will continue to rise, thanks to Trump.
Here is an absolute fact. If there was a sitting Democratic president in the White House with the same Republican Congress, this body of do-nothings would be alive with criticizing the Democratic president, and even go as far as not just trying to impeach him, but the fact is that the Republican controlled Congress would have already impeached him.
What is amazing is how much the 45th President of the United States Donald P. Trump has the country going into reverse, trying to tear down every good thing that President Barrack Obama has done, laying waste to America’s diplomatic legacy. Still, the lawmakers in Washington allow him to continue to let him destroy his own Republican party, which has initiated a mass exidus of Republicans from the Hill already this year, and it’s not even the mid-terms yet. It is expected that the Republicans will loose the majority in the House, and possible that they may loose the Senate. If that happens, it would be fair play that now it would be the Democrats turn to impeach the president. If there ever were a way to rid the Oval Office of the president, it would be by taking over Congress.
Like Bernie Sanders said, Donald Trump is a pathological liar. It’s OK for him to lie, one lie on top of another, and he knows it. But as soon as he hears something on the news that he doesn’t like, he criticizes the media and calls if ‘fake news’. That sounds kind of ironic. So the lies that spew out of his mouth are nothing but the truth, but the news reported by journalists have the facts to back up their claims, yet Trump calls the news “fake news”.
As Bernie has stated in his email posted here, Trump is “someone who is trying to win votes by dividing our nation up based on the color of our skin, our country of origin, our religion, our gender or our sexual orientation. Further, and dangerously, he is undermining our democratic institutions as he attempts to move us toward an authoritarian type society.”
Can Trump be re-elected in 2020? Most likely not, but who am I to judge since he won the presidency in 2016, against ALL odds. Even Trump himself could not believe that he won.
If it were up to Donald Trump and Paul Ryan, Medicare would have been all but cut out of the American society. And why is it that Congress still has yet to pass a bill living the minimum wage to $15 per hour, another that would provide “free tuition at public colleges and universities and reduction of student debt, rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure, fighting climate change and promoting racial, social and environmental justice”, says Bernie Sanders in the email just published on this website. How ignorant can a person with so much power be, to not believe in climate change. Well, Trump is just that ignorant.
Regarding the United States on the world stage thanks to Trump, his recent “foreign policy pronouncements seem just as dangerously detached from the real world. The United States is less safe, less secure and less respected than it has been in decades. Documenting all of Trump’s failings abroad can be dizzying” according to the Washington Post article dated January 19, 2018.
One day Donald Trump claims that he is going to meet with the North Korean president Kim Jung Un and discuss how the North Korean president must give up his nuclear weapons. He claims that if Kim Jung Un does not volunteer to give up nuclear arms, he will leave the meeting and he threatens the dictator by telling him that he could experience the strength of the United states in a fashion that the world has never seen. Can he actually act without provocation from the dictator?. The answer is no, because if he did, South Korea would sustain major casualties from the north. Again, Trump thinks that the Americans are crazy, as they are fooled to believe that he will secure the weapons from the North. That will NEVER happen. Kim Jung Un already possesses nucleur weapons and he is not about to ever give them up. The joke is on president Trump.
At any time, hopefully sooner than later, Special Counsel Robert Mueller will end his investigation of Trump’s interference with Russia in the general elections in 2016. The results will not look pretty for Trump, and it’s an unknown as to how the do-nothing Congress would react.
