One of Trump’s biggest lies was another campaign promise. He swore that he would “drain the swamp in Washington.” This is most likely the biggest lie ever told by a politician. Trump has filled up the swamp; it is now overflowing, and he needs a second dump for his administration which is filled with corruption and debauchery.
Many of Trump’s closest advisers, including his cabinet, came directly from Wall Street; the single group which Trump pointed to as the core of the swamp. At least 187 of his appointees have bee lobbyists for major corporations. This has created an enormous conflict of interests never considered a possibility in prior administrations.
Trump has also created dozens of “special-government employees.” These men advise the heads of government agencies. They are allowed to continue working for industry or other Trump organizations. This creation also allows them to work at a high level without being vetted or receiving a security clearance.
Trump has appointed 2,475 men who serve individuals such as the Koch brothers and Sheldon Addison. Many of them have worked for companies who have filed lawsuits against government organizations including the EPA, the FDA, and the NRA. When the swamp is full; time to find a new one.
Because of Trump’s despicable choices, and his tax cuts for the rich, the wealthiest Americans and largest corporations are getting everything and anything they desire. Plutocracy has replaced democracy, and fascism is quickly taking control of our nation.
Are you willing to be a slave to one political party? Republicans have been ruling over us for 25 years and longer. Will you accept complete servitude?
If you answered ‘yes,’ you are a blind and ignorant Trump supporter. If you said ‘no,’ join the revolution. On November 6th remove all Republicans from office and celebrate the end of Trump’s reign of terror; he will lose all power and become a sniveling dirty old man and nothing more.
