You know Robt. Reich; have quoted him often because he is one of the most credible sources of information on the left. Sept. 12, I did a post where Reich said, "...let the government shut down, force Republicans to turn against Trump." Just yesterday, both the Senate and House turned down Mike Johnson's short fix bill. The deadline is Sept. 30, and maybe Reich will get his wish, especially with the above title to support his concept. I have witnessed multiple media posts recently proclaiming Donald Trump as the source of all this country's problems.Trump is not well, perhaps, the under-statement of the year. Another one of my posts last Friday asked, "Are you prepared for armageddon...Donald Trump's death?" There are those who aren't, the apathetics, who have their heads in the sand, don't want to hear about what's going on. It is dunderheads like this who go to the polls and pull the lever most convenient. Not the slightest idea who they voted for, nor any of the important issues to be decided. Probably one of the reasons we have t-Rump in the White House and his collection of imbeciles running the government. It's scary, to say the least.
Here are some of Reich's reasons for Trump's downfall...
"His economy is a disaster. He promised to bring down prices, yet the prices of most goods are rising. Food prices are soaring. Job growth has stalled. American manufacturing has contracted for six straight months."Trump’s poll numbers are dropping like stones.
"The ghost of Jeffrey Epstein continues to haunt him.
"He’s now trying to deflect attention from his failures by renaming the Defense Department the War Department and threatening to occupy if not go to war with Chicago."
Let's face it. The Oval Office lunatic's bullshit is beginning to look like just what it is...bullshit. More people are realizing this...the reason political focus is turning left. The former Labor Secretary under Bill Clinton added...
"...most Americans don’t want federal troops in our cities and don’t want a war-mongering America. His immigration dragnet is deeply unpopular."
There's more...
"He surrounds himself with sycophants and lapdogs who tell him only how wonderfully
he’s doing — he fires anyone who tells him the truth — which means he’s flying blind and doesn’t know how badly he’s doing."
Reich says things we have always taken for granted, but under Trump we are now re-thinking are...
"democracy, the rule of law, due process, federalism, checks and balances. As well as the value of several programs we took for granted, such as Medicaid, food assistance, and child vaccines."
It is sad that this country has been drawn and quartered by the maniac in the White House. What is worse, however, is the fact that the Republican Party is supporting every sick move Trump makes, carrying it even farther by praising their dictator. Donald Trump cleanses himself in adoration on a daily, almost hourly basis. His bootlickers ready at the moment to carry out any act, no matter how bizarre, for their leader. These morons would follow t-Rump to the edge of the cliff, and then jump if he told them to. In my 93 years, I have never experienced America's plight so desperate.
All because of one man, Donald Trump. In The Hill, Reich is concerned over the loss between a clear demarcation between the right and the left with authoritarian rule controlling the country...
“Instead we have something no one has ever seen in America — a personal takeover of nearly all the institutions of government and, increasingly, the private sector, by a would-be dictator.”
Reich points out a very disturbing fact, by comparing Trump with Xi Jinping...
"As opposed to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s approach in his country, Reich wrote, 'The new order being imposed on American industry doesn’t come from a vast authoritarian bureaucracy. It’s personal and arbitrary. A single so-called ‘strongman’ is seeking to control everything.'”
In other words, Donald Trump, when he went to England to visit King Charles, he was so impressed with royal protocol that he decided, 'Hell yes, I was meant to be king," and that is all he thought about on Airforce 1 on the way back to the U.S.
As I was composing this post, the Charlie Kirk memorial was scheduled to be held Sunday in Phoenix, where the Cardinals play football, Both Trump and Vance planned to attend and the crowd expected is around 100,000. But the Cardinals have a history of many losses and are not considered a top-tier NFL team. Will anyone else concede the possibility that some might actually see an analogy between Charlie Kirk and this team?
