When President Trump was elected, I tried to keep an open mind. I really did.
Now, I am at my limit. I no longer believe in keeping an open mind while he is destroying the Democracy I love. The economy is showing signs of trouble brewing as the stock market is down seemingly everyday. Of course, people, and not just federal employees are losing their jobs. There are ancillary businesses tied to government programs that no longer have funding as well.
But beyond all that, was Kaja Kallas’, European Union’s Foreign Policy Chief’s, remark yesterday, “the free world needs a new leader.” This following the absolutely brutal treatment by the two bullies, Trump and Vance, of Volodymyr Zelensky of his visit to the White House to sign an already blackmailed natural resource deal as compensation for the help of the United States.
This stuck me so hard, it is difficult to put into words. For my sixty-two years on this planet the fact that the entire world would say the United States President, has been in this role, has been such a source of pride. That the United States was a place so many people desired to come to in order to make their economic dreams a reality, or to escape persecution in their home county, like Russia or China. People died to try to come here for a better life. Our government help people escape communist countries to come here.
Now, Trump and Musk, are turning my country into a wasteland. Turning it into a gangland, which they insisted the illegal immigrants were guilty of being a part.
As Alan said this morning, this is like a time when you know the exact time and date when a species goes extinct, like Martha, the Passenger Pigeon, September 1, 1914 at 1:00 pm in Cincinnati, Ohio. The demise of the United States of America as we knew it was February 28, 2025 at 1:42 pm EST when Zelensky left the White House. That is when the United States was formerly aligned with Russia and China against the Free World and Ukraine.
Let that sink in.
American is not made great again. We are now puppets of Russia and China. China with one of the largest militaries in the entire world.
Let that sink in.
