*** “The Trump presidency is about Trump. Period. Full stop. He says so himself all the time. [ David Cay Johnston, Pulitzer Prize winner: “It’s Even Worse Than It looks” ]
1] “Donald Trump’s conquering of the country is complete. The blows he’s inflicted on American democracy will take a lifetime to heal.” [ Jamie Stiehm: “Trump’s Rap Sheet vs. the People”; The Progressive Populist; September, 2025 ] Excerpts follow on specifics:
– “The president fired the Bureau of Labor Statistics chief, a woman, for a poor jobs and growth report. That is a death knell – or a deep chill – for honest government officials.
– “He shut the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, headed by a woman.
– “He’ll no longer enforce pollution laws, giving fossil fuels open season.”
– “He fired the Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a woman admiral.”
– “He decimated the federal workforce.”
– “He slashed climate and weather national services as the air gets hotter, floods rise faster, blazews burn longer, and hurricanes cause havoc. Hes threatened to curb the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
– “His volatile tariffs are hurting consumer prices and jarring the world trade system, creating uncertainty.”
– “Trump compelled the Senate to confirm his criminal defense lawyer, Emil Bove, to the federal bench, 50-49.”
– “He’s taking away health care for at least 11 million people. [ after the 2026 midterms ].”
– “He fired the librarian of Congress, a Black woman, and the Kennedy Center president, a woman – in overnight emails.”
– “He dismantled our helping hand around the world, the U.S. Agency for International Development.” [our foreign enemies LOVE this!!!!!]
– “He’s seizing federal funds from top universities.” [ this damage will unfold over years ]
– “The mainstream media bends over backwards, mainly in legal payoffs, to pacify his rage.” [too much truth]
– “He’s abducting residents with no criminal record.”
– “Trump’s Supreme Court stripped a constitutional right – reproductive rights – away from citizens for the first time in history.”
*** “If Fascism came to America, it would be on a program of Americanism.” [ Huey P. Long ]
2] For perspective, consider these charges from “The Declaration of Independence”. against King George III:
– “He has refused his Assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public Good.”
– “He has obstructed the Administration of Justice..”
– “He has made judges dependent on his Will alone..”
– “He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies, without the consent of our Legislatures.”
– “He has affected to render the Military independent and superior to the Civil Power.”
– “He has combined with others to subject us to a Jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution..”
– “For cutting off our trade with all Parts of the World. – for imposing taxes on us without our consent; for depriving us, in many Cases, of the Benefits of Trial by Jury; for transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses..”
– “He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of His Protection and waging War against us.”
– “He has excited domestic Insurrections amongst us..”
– “In every stage of these Oppressions we have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble Terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated Injury. A Prince whose Character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the Ruler of a free people.”
*** “Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees; and both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the People.” [ U.S. Representative, Senator, Secretary of State. – Henry Clay ]
[NOTE: What’s the practical difference between King George III, and King Donald I ??? George ruled by “divine right”; Donald rules by “Project 2025,” says God’s protecting him.. George was surrounded by rich nobles. Donald is surrounded by rich billionaires
King Donald I talks about “my judges,” “my generals,” “my Justice Department,” ‘my legislators.” King Donald I’s best foreign friends are dictators; he just pardoned an ex-leader convicted of smuggling “tons’ of cocaine into America. King Donald I attacks, persecutes, prosecutes ANY person or group telling the truth about him – what kings and dictators do.
YOU tell me – when Congresspeople say “we’re all afraid”; when the acknowledged goals of Trumpian rhetoric and actions are FEAR and CRUELTY – what’s the practical difference between King George III and King Donald I ???? ]
*** “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” [James Madison, Founder, 4th U.S. President]
