Every week with Donald is meaner that the week before! On Easter Sunday, President Trump tweeted, “NO MORE DACA DEALS!” and made more threats regarding NAFTA, trade agreements with Mexico and Canada. Why is “The Donald” tweet-ranting that hordes of immigrants are pouring into our country from Mexico to “take advantage of DACA” — when that statement is entirely INCORRECT? Fact: DACA concerns only those immigrants who were 16 years of age or younger, who came to America by 2007 (must be high school graduates, employed or attending college, no significant arrests; many are serving in our military).
Every week there are so many more abhorrent issues we Americans must face! David Shulkin, VA Secretary, was fired for NOT taking detrimental steps to privatize the VA. Trump twitter-raging at Amazon CEO for “paying little or not taxes to state & local governments, and is costing the postal service billions of dollars, putting many thousands of retailers out of business!” E-commerce added 355,000 jobs 2007 – 2016, but still brick & mortar stores are diminished as technology services increase convenience, greater selection and opportunities for digital shoppers. Bezos also owns the (Trump-hated) Washington Post; that’s the real reason behind Trump’s attacks on Jeff Bezos. Wall St. numbers down this week, might be a combination of Face-Book tech stocks, tweets-bashing Amazon, and trade war issues, including China instituting 25 percent import tariffs on our pork, fruit and other products.
Nearly 40 percent of Americans get their news from local stations, many of which are owned or operated by Sinclair Broadcasting, whose compulsory scripted-messages regarding fake-news that all their anchors must follow is so reprehensible! We need a FREE PRESS talking Truth to Power, not more government-sanctioned, propaganda, “state-run TV” and syndicated columnists! Bryon York’s “labored” 3/29 column in The Register-Mail, — had only the last 2 paragraphs been printed — would have been more truthful journalism. The fault of the “NO WALL – budget deal” Trump angrily signed on, was NOT the fault of Democrats, as York and Trump love to assert; that is only propaganda for the Trump base. Deal-maker Trump rejected the only passable bipartisan compromise. Civics Refresher for Dummies — The Republicans can pass anything they can agree on, as they have control of Congress and the White House, which Trump characterized as in “tippy-top shape”. Considering that many NATO allies have not been invited to the White House, but that recently Vladimir Putin has …. that seems a seriously-flawed decision! He’s come UNDONE!
