So much is happening in our nation that people don’t know what to do.Unfortunately, although we are seeing behavior from those elected and appointed to serve the people, more people have begun to think there is nothing they can do, but that is a position that will encourage more difficulties for everybody.
When everything we think of seems to be going wrong, the person responsible for our well-being was off gallivanting in China. He took his Secretary of Defense (or War, as Hegseth calls it) and Secretary of State in the middle of an unsettled war that Trump started for no reason, and don’t forget, he took along many of his wealthy male friends presumably to find business with which they will return to the country and provide Trump with his share. As he left the country, he made it clear he doesn’t care about those of us he left behind. He did let us know, in addition to the many tax dollars he has already spent killing little schoolgirls and numerous other Iranians under the pretense of making life better, but for whom I’m not sure!
There are still a few people like Louisiana’s non-Black elected officials who still swear by him and believe a calvary is on the way to take care of them.Despite the millions and billions Trump is shamefully taking from the poor so he can live in the people’s house— known as The White House—bragging about his multi-million dollar ballroom that he promised would be totally paid for by his friends. I guess some of those friends didn’t give up what they promised because lately, he’s asking you, me and other taxpayersfor a few million dollars! It doesn’t look like he returned to the United States from China with a sack full of money! I don’t think China’s President can be bullied! Isn’t it sweet that Eric, his son and wife, went to China with his Dad because he “loves him so much!
Last summer, Donald Trump and Republicans cut over $1 trillion from healthcare. Now they want to cut even more of our healthcare to pay for Trump’s endless war in Iran. Instead of spending money on war, we need to be investing here at home. Despite his taking from the poor and giving to the rich, his memory seems to fail him about the satisfactory health plan called “ObamaCare”the people had when President Obama left us after his term as the BEST PRESIDENT EVERI The person who lives in our White House now also missed the fact that President Obama also had a working agreement with the Iranians regarding nuclear weapons, but Trump did away with that, and as the super deal-maker thought he could do better, but we see how that has worked out and how much of our tax dollars the dealmaker has spent causing everything we have to go up! We don’t know about the wars he claimed he ended, but we know about the ones he started!
Now, my friends, don’t say there is nothing we can do or NOTHING WILL HELP! There is something! We can continue protesting what Trump has gotten us into. We can DEFINITELY VOTE! The Pentagon claims the war has cost $25 billion, but some economists say the cost could be as high as $1TRILLION DOLLARS. You know where he wants to get it? FROM YOU! Trump should be using taxpayer money to fix problems he caused. We cannot afford to waste more money on endless wars. We want leaders who improve our lives, and who bring down healthcare, food, housing and gasoline costs.Have a serious talk with your elected officials and tell them what you want. Include no more wars and no more corruption!
