Poor Donny Boy, he’s whining again because not everyone believed his lies during his State of the Union speech. There’s an old word we don’t hear any more, but it applies in this situation; Trump is a ‘nincompoop.’

His fragile ego was on full display once again when he complained about Democrat’s refusal to stand and applaud the remarks he read during the State of the Union. This proves once again how little Trump knows about our nation. He has obviously never watched a State of the Union address before. It is not unusual for members of the opposing party to refuse to applaud for policies they denounce.

Let’s take a look at Trump’s tax reform. For corporations and the super wealthy, the tax cuts included in the bill are permanent. For most Americans, they end in two years. After that time, the middle class will begin paying for those same corporations and the one-percent. Without sufficient funds to run the government, our nation will experience a 1.5 trillion dollar addition to the deficit.

Why would Democrats applaud the fact that Republicans are the party of special interests, while they support the working class who will be punished in the long run?

Trump’s biggest complaint was that the ‘black caucus’ disrespected him; he called their inaction ‘treason.’ How could they offer him any respect when he has proven that he is a white supremacist and would wear a white hooded robe while hanging each of them from the nearest tree if he was allowed to do so?

Millions of ignorant Americans chose a man who is not an American himself as their leader. They should be ashamed of themselves, but they’re not. They choose to believe the hundreds of lies Trump tells every week. Sad.
