First, it was Make America Great Again. The message was more of Make Bigotry and Racism Great Again in America. The idea that Trump could, would, and should be the guy to make magic in America worked well…perhaps because he bragged about grabbing women by the p***y, had been a three-time adulterer, convicted of sexual harassment, was responsible for an attempted insurrection, and, of course, had 34 felony counts charged against him. Maybe it was his hatred for anyone whose skin was not pearly white.
Then, to keep the Bigots, the Racists, the Christian Nationalists, the Fascists, the Klan, the Oath Keepers, the American Nazi’s, and of course the FOX viewers extremely excited, the new slogan turned into America First. And of course, his cult bought into the bull shit, praising Trump as a man of the people. But alas alack, the con and corruption can never be contained by Trump, and his sycophant billionaire buds, and suddenly it was no longer Making America Great, or America First, nope, it never was about either idea, rather just to further the self-serving, selfish needs of Trump and his Family of Crime.
After filing a highly unusual lawsuit in which President Donald Trump sued his own administration’s Internal Revenue Service, he settled it through his acting attorney general — also his former personal lawyer, Todd Blanche — setting up a team of “volunteers” to dole out nearly $1.8 billion in taxpayer money out of what the Department of Justice calls “The Anti-Weaponization Fund.” (MS NOW)
Why Trump’s stock trades are so exceptionally corrupt. The president continues to find new, once-unimaginable ways to use the awesome powers of the federal government to enrich himself. (MS NOW)
I thought our government was to be all about “checks and balances,” but that is just ancient American history. The Republican majority in Congress only cares about not being primaried, and the Supreme Court only cares about what their donors, the Heritage Foundation, find important. And here we go again, watching Trump bankrupt the rest of us as he benefits.
