Millions of Americans choose to be sheep who are being led to the slaughter. Ignorant voters gladly gave away their futures to vote for a man without morals and who is using the presidency for his personal gain. Our nation is engaged in a war; a war between the majority and our government.

Several days ago Trump’s chief economic adviser, Gary Cohn, resigned. He disagreed with Trump’s policies frequently, and the final straw was the orange man’s announcement that he would impose a 25 percent tariff on imported steel, and a 10 percent tariff on aluminum. Cohn was convinced that this would begin a trade war and cause great harm to consumers.

Trump has found his replacement. He is a television economist whose theories have failed 100 percent of the time. That’s not important to Donald Trump; he supports Republican policies which have failed for the last three decades. His name is Larry Kudlow. He foolishly believes that tax cuts are the answer to everything.

His personal beliefs support Trump’s war on the working class. Kudlow claimed that the ‘housing bubble’ did not exist during the Bush administration. He denied the great recession. Kudlow also claimed that President Obama’s stimulus plan would cause inflation.

Kudlow has supported the one-percent, which includes his new boss, and rejects all programs which would benefit the working class. He is a staunch supporter of every president since Reagan who believes in ‘trickle down economics,’ although the administrations of Reagan, Bush, and Trump have failed miserably.

It is easy to forget that when Reagan left office in 1989, our nation faced a trillion dollar deficit, and the unemployment rate was 10 percent. When Bush left office in 2009, our nation nearly experienced its second great depression.

Trump’s corporate tax cuts and additional cuts for himself and other wealthy Americans will reduce our nation’s ability to effectively care for the needs of the majority. Kudlow supports every proposal by the moron who lives in the White House.

Let’s be totally honest. If Trump watches you on television, which is how he spends most of his time in the rare moments he is actually in the West Wing, you are at the top of the list for a job in the White House. Trump is living in a reality show; he has no ability to govern our nation, and is not interested in doing so.

Fight back; we can win this war on November 6, 2018.
