If Trump dies, (if my prayers are answered), who will succeed him, and what do they have in common. The first ten are the vice-president, the Speaker of the House, President Pro-Tem of the Senate, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of Defense, the Attorney General, Secretary of the Interior, Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Commerce, and Secretary of Labor. What they have in common is that they are all old, white, rich men. With the exception of the Speaker of the House and the President Pro-Tem, none are qualified to lead our nation.
How can this old group of white, degenerate men, represent all 320 million of our nation’s people?
The last decennial census was completed in 2010. Although it has changed dramatically in six years, here is a rough evaluation of the demographics.
Our nation’s population was recorded as 308,745,538. Out of that number, 196,817,552 were labeled as non-Hispanic Whites. Hispanics and non-whites totaled, 111,927,986 Americans. Just this year, millennials have replaced baby boomers as our largest demographic. White men and women are dying, and the number of Americans who are of another race, Hispanic, or mixed race, are growing at a higher rate that all-whites.
Trump is a white supremacist, and has placed like-minded white men in positions of power. Included in his circle of sinners are men and women who suffer from Islamophobia, homophobia, and misogyny. This alone is proof that one of Trump’s thousands of lies during the campaign will remain a falsehood. He will not represent all of America.
Trump’s circle of sinners could not be more white unless they were albinos. And don’t tell me I’m wrong because farther down the list is an Asian-American, Elaine Chow, and African-American Ben Carson. Chow is the wife of the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell, and her nomination is a repayment for McConnell’s hypocrisy. As for Ben Carson, he is a black man only because his skin is darker than the others; he does not represent black America.
Trump has not finished all of his selections, but so far the wealth of those who he has nominated or appointed totals the income of one-third of American households. This means that our government will be a plutocracy, and a plutocracy can only exist with a fascist leader.
God bless America; we loved you while you lasted.
