Tariffs are on, off, on, partially off, partially on, off, on... Tariff exceptions granted to companies that Trump likes. Tariffs will go into effect now; tariffs will go into effect later...Retaliatory tariffs put in place by other countries. Trade war. Rising supply chain costs. Stock market down. National economic growth down. Consumer confidence down. Unemployment up. Global agriculture markets threatened. Farming costs up. Businesses of all types are unwilling to make long-term investment, research, hiring, marketing, and sales decisions in such a chaotic and uncertain market environment.
Arbitrary government layoffs with the delicacy of a chain saw without transparency. Veterans laid off right and left. Experienced military leadership fired because of race and gender. Layoffs threaten air travel safety, safety of nuclear stockpiles and nuclear waste, safety of the food you eat, safety of the medicine you take, safety from cyber-attacks, future cancer research, counter-terrorism efforts, intelligence gathering capability, healthcare for veterans, and early warnings for hurricanes. FBI purged of anyone who had anything to do with any legal proceedings against the elected co-President. National Parks reducing visiting hours and selling off facilities. Private law firms banned from federal buildings. Clear cutting of 280 million acres of national forests and protected public lands. Disabled individuals kicked off Medicaid via email with no explanation. Uncertainty in funding research universities endangers the development of our next generation of scientists.
Our unelected co-President is canceling federal contracts with veteran-owned businesses. Our unelected co-President ending government contracts with companies that compete with his. Our unelected co-President’s companies including Tesla and Space X with more than 50 contracts with the federal government – right, no conflict of interest when he illegally cuts government contracts and spending. Complete propaganda concerning how much money our unelected co-President is “saving.” Oh, by the way, how many consecutive Space X missiles have exploded? How are Tesla sales?
Violent criminals, brown shirts who tried to overthrow the government are set free. Non-violent, undocumented immigrants with no criminal records being sent to GITMO. Restricting student, staff, and faculty free speech on college campuses. Restricting access to the White House by the free press. Media companies run by billionaires with ties to the elected co-President changing editorial content. The elected co-President in violation of court orders. More voting restrictions put in place. The only requirement necessary to head an executive agency is complete loyalty to the elected co-President, expertise is not necessary. The elected co-President running the entire government (law making, law enforcement, and law interpretation) by executive order...what kind of government is that?
The elected co-President praising Putin. Putin, the puppet master, manipulating the elected co-President to carry out his foreign policy goals of making Russia great again, to recreate the old Soviet empire. The US now aligned with Russia. Democratic European countries, our once upon a time NATO allies…you are on your own. Taiwan...you are on your own. South Korea...you are on your own. And what about the propaganda film that the elected co-President allowed Russia to film as he publicly lied to and berated the President of democratic country that was invaded by Russia?
And…has any Republican explained why grocery prices have not gone down? Or was that not the major issue in the 2024 campaign? Shall I mention the stated threats by Republicans to social security and Medicare? Republican members of Congress afraid to meet with their constituents because they are afraid and unwilling to answer the questions. Republican members of Congress then ordered by their elected co-President not to have town hall meetings. They comply with a familiar salute to their elected and non-elected co-Presidents. Yes, elections have consequences…
