Trump has wasted more than $30 million of your money to maintain his lavish lifestyle, while refusing to perform the job for which he was illegitimately elected. He wants to raise the Pentagon’s budget, although most experts agree that not only will 50 percent of that money be wasted, wars today are not fought on a battlefield, in the air, or on the sea in the 21^st century.

To pay for his waste of taxpayer money, and allow the military brass to ‘play with their toys,’ Trump wants to cut Medicaid by $800 billion.

Trump is basing this cut on the passage of his murderous healthcare bill. Trumpcare would remove healthcare from more than 24 million Americans, and prevent most of 131 Americans with preexisting conditions from obtaining insurance. In addition, Americans over age 55 would experience a premium increase of between 500 and 700 percent.

Republicans do not know how to govern. If they had any ability to lead and represent the majority, they would have suggested repairing the deficiencies of Obamacare, instead of seeking a complete repeal.

Someone in Washington must demand that Trump cease his endless golfing excursions, and trips to his ‘millionaires only’ resort, Mar-a-Lago. He must not be allowed to use taxpayer money to hold rallies. Melania must move to Washington immediately. Taxes collected by our government should be returned to the people, and not spent to assist Trump in his efforts to maintain the lifestyle of a king or a fuhrer.

Cutting medicaid would harm 70 million low-income children, adults, disabled Americans and the elderly. Why should Trump care about the American people? He and his spawn live lives most Americans could never comprehend. Conversely, Trump and his spawn are unable to relate to real Americans; the working class. They were all born with ‘silver spoons in their mouths,’ and have never struggled to support a family. None of them have ever worked an eight hour day, while millions of low-income Americans work two and even three jobs to care for their family’s needs.

Trump is destroying everything that is good about America as he implements his plan to make America a plutocracy. And remember; a plutocracy cannot exist without a fascist government.

Trump must go; and soon. Republicans must be removed from their lives of luxury and privilege. They have failed the American people for more than 20 years, and failed to pass a single piece of positive legislation in more than 8 years. No longer is the GOP a viable political party. It is nothing more than an agent for the one-percent.
