For Donald John Trump and his circle of sinners, the national treasury is their personal bank account. They believe that because they serve an illegitimate president, they can share his life of luxury and privilege.

Here is a recent headline in the DAILY KOS.

“Trump’s former health secretary racked up $1.2 million in travel costs in 7 months.”

This refers to Tom Price, Trump’s original Secretary of Health and Human Services. He was fired, but others, including Steve Mnuchin, and former director of the Environmental Protection Agency, Scott Pruitt, have wasted more taxpayer money than Price. The most egregious grafter is Trump himself. He and the rest of the family Trump are wasting taxpayer dollars at the rate of $16,333,333.33 per month.

I am not surprised that the Trump Party has turned away from this fact; they will do nothing to save our nation and its people. But why haven’t Democrats and the fake-conservatives on the right been screaming about these facts? Our government is the worst in the world, and for the last two years of my 72 years as a loyal American, I have become ashamed of my country.

Naturally I denounce the greedy and self-serving politicians in Washington, but I also blame millions of Americans who have chosen ignorance over the facts. They support white supremacy and every other form of prejudice, while they approve of an illegitimate president who is the most immoral, and most hated man in the world.

In just 17 months and 24 days our nation has lost its way. The division between our country’s people is greater than at any other time since the Civil War. On one side are mostly white men and women who seek the end of progress in America and a return to a nation where white, fake-Christians control the United States of America. On the other side are real Americans who believe in the Constitution and celebrate the progress made for our nation’s people in the last 60+ years.

Trump is a white, dirty, old man who is unfit to live in America. He is a traitor and a criminal. His collusion with Putin to defeat Hillary Clinton, and his efforts to launder the fortunes of Russian oligarchs demand a trial and a conviction for treason which requires the death penalty.

His supporters are no better because they chose ignorance over the truth. America is known for having the least informed citizens in the world; about that there can be no doubt. When evaluated by tests which determine the knowledge of all Americans, including those who are college educated, our nation’s people are the least intelligent and informed in the developed world. The proof of this is the illegitimate presidency of Trump.

Millions of voters preferred to believe what they were force-fed on social media prior to the 2016 election. The result is the worst president in America’s history. This information was false; that was a given: and it was the result of collusion between Trump and Putin; which began in 1987, and was finalized in 2018 in Moscow.

Today, in power is the most corrupt administration in history; we cannot afford them in thousands of ways. They are destroying our nation and spending money which belongs to the American people like royalty. 46 million Americans are living below the poverty line, and that number is increasing. Millions of other Americans are defined as ‘low-income’ and are one paycheck away from sliding into poverty. They compose nearly 50 percent of all Americans; my wife and I are two of them.

Trump and his circle of sinners don’t give a damn about us; their concern is themselves. The Trump Party is the guilty party here. If they performed the jobs for which they were elected, Trump would have been impeached by now.

If our elected officials refuse to serve the American people, they must be removed from office. I beg every man and woman who is able to vote to vet the candidates before they cast their ballots. We desperately need more progressive and younger men and women in Washington.

I am a 72-year-old man; I am the past, like your failed and illegitimate president. The average American is 37.8 years of age; nearly one-half my age. They must be represented in Washington, and today’s old, white, men and women are completely out of touch with the majority.

The revolution will begin on November 6, 2018. America will not survive with Trump in the White House and Republicans in name only in control of our government. The Trump Party supports fascism and every other evil mankind can support. Please, please vote and save the country I love.

Finally, I want to once again describe my ideal American president. She would be about 40 years of age, of African American decent, a legally married member of the LGBTQ community, and her chosen faith is the religion of Islam. That’s truly American by any and all definitions.

Please tell others about my blog; this is a place where the truth comes forward into the light of day.
