A flourishing economy, begun by the fiscal policies of President Obama, is the one thing Trump brags about more than anything, although his fiscal policies are complete failures. Trump is the only person responsible for the current trade war with China. This week he claimed that the two greatest economies in the world were close to a “historic deal.” The Chinese, and respected American economists don’t agree. Officials from the government of China claim not to know what Trump is bragging about.

“I’m not terribly optimistic that there is such a deal before the next presidency,” said Peter Petri, a professor of international finance at Brandeis University. “The Chinese will be very reluctant to make such a deal over the next few months.”

Trump described the “Phase One” agreement Friday as “tremendous” and “phenomenal” and vowed that “farmers are going to have to go out and buy much larger tractors, because it means a lot of business.” But neither the White House nor the Chinese provided the text of the deal, which Trump officials acknowledged had not yet been signed. And there were scant details about Chinese concessions.

Let’s put this bluntly; Trump is feeding the American people more bullshit. He is a bully, not a diplomat and he chose another failure to negotiate with foreign nations by the name of Mike Pompeo. Trump’s administration is the most incompetent and corrupt administration in history, and this is why I refer to them as a “circle of sinners.”

Trump has already signed executive orders bailing our farmers with $35 billion from taxpayers. He has added more than one-trillion dollars to the deficit, and leading economists claim that there are signs America is heading for another recession caused by a Republican president as early as next year.

Most importantly, I do not know one person who has experienced a better quality of life in the last three years. Of course, I do not have friends who are one of America’s 704 billionaires or 18.6 million millionaires.

If income inequality is not addressed by our nation’s government, my America will cease to exist; the Constitution will mean nothing.
