Do you believe that Trump actually means everything he says or tweets? If you do, you literally need to ‘have your head examined.’ Trump’s image of America is very dark and foreboding; eliminating all hope and shattering dreams.

Trump tells us that he believes thousands of Mexicans are waiting in line to cross our borders and take our jobs. In truth, he knows that most of his wealthy friends who are corporate farmers cannot exist without illegal immigrants who are willing to work for slave labor. He continues to deport men and women who have lived here for years and have acted like ‘good Americans.’ He claims that he is deporting the ‘bad guys,’ when in truth 75 percent of those he forced back across our border have never committed even a minor legal infraction. The greatest deterrent to illegal Mexican immigration is Donald Trump. Who would want to live in a nation run by a mad man?

He claims that all Muslims are terrorists. His ban focuses on six nations whose population is mostly Muslim. However, he excluded Saudi Arabia. This nullifies his stated belief; 15 of the 19 terrorists who attacked America on September 11, 2001 were Saudi nationals.

Trump promised that he would repeal and replace Obamacare. His plan would be “great;” “everyone would be insured,” and “the premiums would be much lower.” He said that “even if it costs me votes, I’m gonna do it; it’s the right thing.” He obviously did not believe his own words while he was saying them. Campaign promise. Trumpcare is a complete disaster.

“I’m going to be too busy making great deals; who will have time for golf?” Need I say more?

Trump claims that he accomplished more in 100 days than any president in history. The truth is that he has signed one piece of legislation in five months. The bill gives more power to the Director of Veterans Affairs.

“I will clean out the swamp in Washington.” Not only has he not ‘cleaned the swamp,’ his circle of sinners have become an even bigger cesspool.

Trump promised to bring back our jobs from foreign shores; he has not. The fact is that Trump operates business ventures in 12 foreign nations. Ivanka’s clothing line is all manufactured away from our shores. They are using Trump’s new position to increase their number of foreign interests while paying workers slave wages.

Trump said: “You’ll be winning so much, you’ll get tired of winning.” So when does it start.

Trump remains the most unqualified president in history. He is also the most secretive and partisan president in history. He and his party have already proven that they do not know how to govern.

But don’t believe anything Trump says. He believes in nothing himself; he is an opportunist who sees America as a ‘cash cow’ for his own taking. He is doing to our nation what he did with his own charity; he is stealing from the American people.

Trump is delusional, but he is also much smarter than his supporters. He has promised them everything they wanted, and has no intentions of keeping those promises. He is a liar and a con-man. He has the support of congress; at least on the right side of the aisle; and is using these hapless men and women to further his personal goals. Lyin Paul Ryan and Mitch ‘the traitor’ McConnell have capitulated to his every demand, although they know that Trump’s proposals will greatly harm the vast majority of the American people and be a gift to himself and the other 584 billionaires in America.

Trump’s world does not exist, and with him in the White House, our nation will cease to exist as well. Democracy has been replaced by an oligarchy, and soon to become a plutocracy under the fascist rule of Donald J. Trump. He is already committed perjury. When he took the oath of office on January 20, 2017, he promised to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.” He hasn’t.

Please re-post; thank you.
