The myth of an anti-establishment candidate vanished straightaway in office. Donald Trump’s a dirty politician like most others in Washington—saying one thing, doing another, causing enormous harm to millions at home and abroad.
Demagoguery, bombast, bravado, hubris, arrogance, fearmongering, belligerence, Islamophobia, racism, subservience to monied interests, and broken promises mark his first three months in office.
He already played his supporters for fools, betraying them, most unaware how greatly they’ve been had.
Pledged swamp draining got deeper. Interventionism he opposed got prioritized. He’s dangerously unprincipled. Neocons infesting his administration make key policy decisions.
He’s dishonest, untrustworthy and contemptible, serving special interests, not ordinary ones. He didn’t become a billionaire by being a good guy. It shows as president and commander-in-chief of America’s military.
His luxury lifestyle shows contempt for blue collar workers, millions unemployed, most others way underemployed, wanting America’s resources used for war making, tax cuts for corporations and high-net worth households, along with handouts to business.
He curries favor with despots, shuns or demonizes Democrats, sells naked aggression as the right thing to do, wages phony war on terrorism like his predecessors, wants pro-Western puppets replacing independent leaders, makes a mockery of fundamental human and civil rights.
He wants America made greater for its privileged class. Let others take the hindmost, everyone on their own, survival of the fittest.
Whatever government does, business does better so let it, he believes, ordinary people on their own, out of luck. Instead of investing in America’s future, he wants it given away to corporate friends and cronies.
He vowed “to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, and hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.”
Privately in meetings with corporate CEOs, he promised dirty business as usual, favoring their interests over the general welfare, wanting public assets privatized at fire sale prices.
He’s only just begun, 45 months remaining until January 2021, maybe another 48 to follow, already responsible for enormous harm worldwide.
Given his deplorable agenda so far, what’s likely coming should scare everyone. Will he rape planet earth for profit?
Will his tenure be marked by homeland tyranny and catastrophic nuclear war? Is humanity doomed on his watch?

Most of what we see stems from blackmail to expose his alleged stays
at a certain island, which almost certainly were recorded for future
use against him… so what we have is a hollow billionaire degenerate
on his (third) concubine wife, the first two with gag orders to prevent
them from talking, who will save his own sorry ass from prison by setting
the whole planet on fire for “The boyz from Mt. Sinai” .
The world is an epidemic of Ashkenazi cancer that “Mr. T” will insure is
incurable and fatal for mankind.
When the dollar will purchase and bribe no more, the US and Israel will
bring world war… and not one penny before.

If your looking for the Charismatic Antichrist from the man-made playbook,

I wonder if the author of this wrote the same thing during Obama’s reign of terror, because ever criticism here, all valid, could have been said about the past 8 years as well.
