[Note; read this list again – knowing it is only a SMALL part of the vast damage Trump is doing to America; a SMALL part of the damage he intends to do in the future – carrying out “Project 2025” s wish list
Trump’s presidency is going to cost YOU, YOUR children – in MANY ways besides money. And this before a REALLY BIG ONE: We did not mention Trump’s immoral 2017 tax cuts, which HIS Congress just made permanent. Beside being responsible for about 25% of YOUR national debt – there are all the CUTS required to pay for it – to health, education, safety net, Medicare and Medicaid, park rangers, airport safety, weather reporting…..
Trump is grievously damaging America’s reputation around the world; drastically cutting away at America’s “soft power”. around the world. YOUR children WILL pay for this.
YOU might ponder; king Louis XV of France once said: ‘After me, the deluge.” he was right – revolution, beheadings. followed him. What follows King Donald I ?????????????
