Today, 3/30/18, Trump made another long and meaningless speech. These were his remarks after claiming that “no one ever heard the word ‘trillion’ before Iraq.”

“We spent $7 trillion in the Middle East. We build a school, they blow it up, we build it again, they blow it up, we build it again, hasn’t been blown up yet but it will be. But if we want a school in Ohio to fix the windows, you can’t get the money. If you want a school in Pennsylvania, or Iowa, to get federal money, you can’t get the money.”

Here’s the problem; this is more of Trump’s bullshit. His budget cut funding for education, and his “infrastructure plan” does not include repairing or building our nation’s schools. If you noticed, Trump’s lips were moving once again.

Trump is not my president, and he’s not yours even if you are an avid supporter of the orange man. It’s time for all Americans to wake up and look at the facts. Every proposal; every ‘effort’ by Trump and his circle of sinners benefits them and will harm nearly 320 million Americans. He has isolated our country from our allies and supports despots and dictators. There is no longer any doubt that Trump, Robert Mercer, and his campaign staff colluded with Vladimir Putin’s agents during the 2016 campaign. Russian agents used social media and information from WikiLeaks to harm Hillary and benefit Trump. Mercer’s company, Cambridge Analytica, focused on similar methods with the singular goal of securing the election for Trump. Mercer directed Trump’s campaign from the shadows from August 2016 until the election.

These are the facts, and they have become undeniable in the last few weeks. Trump is connected to Putin far more closely than simply one election. They have been involved in

treasonous activity for nearly 13 years.

In 2005 Trump was nearly broke. After he took the Miss Universe Pageant to Moscow that same year, he returned to New York and began making several unexplainable and very successful real estate ‘deals.’ These ‘deals’ were controversial then, and they are more so today. Most experts believe that he was laundering money for Russian Oligarchs. Mueller’s team is looking into similar actions by Jared Kushner and his family.

Let’s face it, my fellow Americans; we are in a fight for the nation of our founding fathers. They foresaw changes in our nation which would make us greater. However, Republicans, nearly 50 percent of them, want to move backwards to the 1950’s when our nation was less diverse. I am sorry for these old, white people. In just a few short years ‘pure white’ Americans will become the minority. Younger Americans already compose the largest voting block, and real women are no longer demanding equality, they are taking our nation by storm.

Time is up for the former Grand Old Party. They represent a single demographic; older, white, Christian men and women. No other group supports Republican politicians by a majority. For more than 25 years the right wing has ignored the people.

They have rejected the needs and desires of younger Americans, minorities, the LGBTQ community, practicing members of other religions other than fake-Christians, and women who have been the target of a war for more than five decades.

Republicans were once the party of Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt; they are now the GOP in name only. They have no principles, and have proven themselves incapable of serving the hundreds of millions of Americans who need them.

Our nation cannot exist without at least two parties who deliberate and compromise. None of this has been accomplished since the Clinton administration. Republicans began their obstructionism in 1993, and it is far worse today.

Trump has begun the establishment of fascism in America. His dream is to become another ‘Adolf Hitler,’ or ‘Vladimir Putin.’ Freedom and democracy are his enemies.

If you love the United States of America, you can return its integrity and its heritage in November. Republicans must be removed from office and Trump relegated to nothing more than a failed businessman. This nation belongs to you; not to the politicians.
