Today’s Republicans in name only are in a state of panic. This is clear every time one or more members of Trump’s fascist party step out of line by breaking the rule of unquestioned loyalty, originally demanded by Ronald Reagan in 1981. To oppose any of Trump’s unconstitutional demands makes you his enemy.

NO COUNTRY CAN EXIST WITHOUT ALLIES WHO SHARE UNBREAKABLE LOYALTY

Canada has been America’s most supportive ally since it gained its independence from Great Britain on July 1, 1867. We not only share a border, we share very similar interests and compose two-thirds of North America.

America’s president in1867, Andrew Johnson, terminated the 1854 Reciprocity Treaty (a free trade agreement) in 1866.  However, in 1935 and 1938, the “People’s President,” Franklin D. Roosevelt signed free trade agreements with our neighbor to the north, which lasted until Trump’s illegitimate inauguration in 2025.

IT IS PERFECTLY CLEAR THAT TRUMP FAILED HIS HIGH SCHOOL ECONOMICS CLASS

Not just America’s, but the world’s greatest economists oppose tariffs. These efforts to increase a nation’s economy always fail. The most destuctive example was in 1930 when Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which raised U.S. duties on over 20,000 imports. The result was an increase in the nation’s economic problems, lowering the quality of life for working-class Americans and increasing poverty across the nation.

WITH EVERY PASSING DAY, TRUMP PROVES THAT HE FAILED TO EARN HIS DIPLOMA FROM WHARTON

Trump was born into a family whose very existence was a classic example of white privilege. History confirms that Donny Boy failed to accomplish anything without outside assistance in his lifetime. We know that Daddy Fred paid for deferments which kept Trump out of the war in Vietnam. I have no doubt that daddy also paid for his diploma. In 2017, Trump had all of his academic records sealed: I wonder why?

When Trump began his own business life, around 1972, he quickly lost the more than 400 million dollars in assets he received from his father. In the private sector, he declared bankruptcy more than six times, one involved an Atlantic City casino. He was bailed out with the purchase of overpriced properties by Russian oligarchs, and again by the Saudi Royal Family. Anyone who voted for the orange buffoon, believing that he would increase America’s economy, was totally uninformed and wasted their most precious right.

“The greatest danger to a democracy is an uninformed electorate, where legislators bow to the demands of the ignorant majority instead of governing based on the best interests of greater society. If poor whites began voting based on their actual needs and banded together with their fellow citizens of color, the ruling class would be forced to start serving the will of the people. However, as long as the white majority—damaged by ignorance and collective narcissism—continues to vote along lines of racial identity, we all suffer. Thus, throughout American history up to the” ― Thomas Avant, Damaged People: Narcissism and the Foundation of a Dysfunctional American

WILL HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF, OR WORSE?

When Trump was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021, America was facing a second Great Depression. Donny boy’s failed fiscal policy, combined with his failure to lead our nation in the fight against Covid-19, resulted in an economic crash not seen since the failures of George W. Bush between 2001 and 2009.

If he remains in office until 2029, will the United States of America continue to exist?
