After one year in office, Donald Trump has spent approximately 100 million dollars of taxpayer money golfing, traveling back and forth to Mar-a-Lago, and holding rallies for the sole purpose of soothing his fragile ego. Trump is the most expensive president in American history. He refuses to pass legislation to end the growth of poverty in America, or to support programs to aid needy Americans, but he gladly wastes millions of dollars to continue his life of luxury and privilege. Trump now needs new refrigerators on Air Force One which will cost a whopping 23.6 million dollars.

I am extremely angry that the television news media and all of our nation’s elected officials have ignored these facts. Why is Trump receiving protection from everyone while his administration has proven to be the most corrupt in the entire history of the the United States of America?

Is this a result of the plutocracy under construction by the Trump administration? All 535 members of congress are millionaires. The television personalities who host the “news shows” on the major networks are millionaires. Advertisers who support those fake-news shows are billionaires. Trump’s chief advisers are millionaires and billionaires. The heads of the major newspapers and television networks are millionaires and their owners are billionaires. This is pure fascism and the end of the dreams of our founding fathers.

Do not have any illusions; we, the majority of the American people are at war with our own government, and all of the mainstream media. Trump is the leader of our new nation. This nation allows the wealthy to rule over the working class, low income Americans and the poor. We have only one weapon; our vote.

It’s time for real change. Time to remove all incumbents from office. Younger men and women who choose to serve all of the American people and not rule over them must be elected. It is time for the revolution to become a reality. Any elected official over the age of 60 must be voted out of office. The average age in America is 37.8 years of age. Anyone in my age group must be removed from Washington. We can win; we are 320 million strong. We can no longer be a nation whose only concern is profit.

If you care about yourself and those you love you will vote and encourage everyone else to do the same in November. We need younger men and women to enter campaigns for local, state, and federal elections. Only forward thinking Americans can save my America.

I beg you to pass the truth on to everyone who loves his or her country. This is our only chance to save the United States of America.
