It doesn’t take a genius to recognized Trump’s overall agenda as president. The leaders of other nations he admires and pays homage to are not our allies, and most are cruel dictators. Why?

The answer is obvious; Trump has foreign business interests in the nations ruled by these men.

Let’s begin with Rodrigo Duterte, the President of the Philippines. Under the guise of attacking his nation’s ‘drug problem,’ he is committing genocide. The streets of his country are literally flowing with the blood of drug sellers and drug users. Trump called him a ‘strong leader,’ on the telephone and invited him to the White House. Why?

Easy answer; Trump is opening a hotel in Manilla this summer. Pay for Play.

Then there’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey. Istanbul was once the most cosmopolitan city in the world, and the nation was a democracy. After a controversial ‘coupe’ last year, Erdogan began to assimilate all power; he is now a dictator. Dissidents claim that he is the “Hitler of the 21^st century.” He has imprisoned and tortured thousands; so many that additional prisons were built or are under construction. Trump recently entertained him at the White House.

Trump has his name on a twin-tower hotel complex in Istanbul. Pay for Play.

Donald Trump Jr. told the press that his family has multiple business interests in Russia. We all know that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have a very close relationship, although both deny the truth. Many in Trump’s circle of sinners share an association with the Russians.

The day after Trump fired the Director of the FBI, James Comey, for continuing to investigate the relationship between Trump and Putin, two high level Russian agents were invited to a secret meeting in the Oval Office at Putin’s request. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, and Ambassador/Spy Sergey Kislyak met with Trump behind closed doors. During the campaign multiple members of Trump’s staff met with Kislyak and failed to disclose that fact on their security clearance forms.

Trump began his relationship with Putin in 2005 when he took the Miss Universe Pageant to Moscow. There is little question that the two men formed business agreements and an association during that time which led to the interference in our election last year. Pay for Play.

In the United States, Trump is secretly disbanding the Environmental Protection Agency. He is allowing the petroleum industry to drill in our most pristine wilderness. He supports unlimited fracking and the construction of pipelines which have proven to be the two greatest dangers to our water supply and the soil where our crops are grown. His horrific ‘Trumpcare’ will benefit the insurance industry and harm millions of our nation’s people and kill thousands. Trumpcare and his budget proposal will be a gift to himself and the other members of the one-percent, while harming the majority. Pay for Play.

Trump will never be or act like the President of the United States; this was never his goal. His ambition is to further his own interests and those of other wealthy Americans.

Trump’s supporters were simply conned; they are fools who elected a man who is diametrically opposed to everything he promised.

“Lock him up.”
