All we heard for months without end, is that Trump was going to have Mexico pay for the wall. His supporters went nuts.
Now, this same Trump is glorifying in the attention of his own massive ego, in demanding $5B that Congress (you and me) don't have and isn't about to give him, for this same wall, or he will shut down a govt that, quite frankly, isn't getting much of anything accomplished at the moment anyway.
How does this work, exactly? The same farmers that put him in office, are now suffering due to his trade tariffs and non-knowledge of international economics and global trade.
More jobs were promised, bringing manufacturing back to America. Then, five car plants closed, the tariffs he imposed forced the steel industry to raise prices which slowed production which rippled into businesses nationwide.
Dozens of his appointees have resigned. Five have been convicted. The only business being conducted in Wash. are investigations.
We thought Nixon's administration was slimy and crooked and under-handed. This administration seems far worse on the surface. Promises made not kept, statements made then flip-flopped. Three chiefs of staff in two years. At least two attorneys general. The list goes on.
Near as I can tell, the only citizens to benefit from two years of Trump, are MAGA hat sellers, and every corporation that got a permanent tax cut, as opposed to the rest of us who got a temp. tax cut that btw, will add $1T to our already staggering national debt.
A non-Congress declared war in Afghanistan enters its 18th years with no end in sight, with our own Army about to prosecute one of its own for killing the enemy.
Anyone else confused?
