I know, what you are about to read is old news. You have heard it in the TV news, newspapers, even social media for weeks. But, I don't believe the majority has actually realized the score of what has happened in the first 100 days of the Trump administration.
Since before Donald Trump took office, he said he was going to 'strip the federal government and reduce the budget and make it more efficient running and good for all.' Well, as they say, "What do think of me now?" Trump now has the LOWEST approval rating than any president in the history of the United States. 55,000 confirmed cuts, more that 76,000 employee buyouts, and 145,000 other planned reductions still coming. This 34 felon convicted president has cut off people from agencies, closed federal departments, cut off funding for vaccines to child and elderly, cut funds to people starving in other countries and basically closed the door to the entire world like we the citizens of the USA are all alone with no friends.
He and his clones, like Elon Musk, who are billionaires, think they can slim down what we have busted our butts to build one of the strongest countries in the world, now are a shadow of what we were and possibly weaker that the other two great powers. And believe or not, those billionaires are making money while we, the people, suffer with with the coming higher prices and empty shelves and no trade from other countries that we depend on.. Big box stores like Target and Walmart bring in a lot of foods grown in other countries and goods that will skyrocket with the 100 to 200% tariffs that Trump imposed and says it will make us grow financially. Ask ANY economist how tariffs work and they will tell you they kill the imposing country and hurt the economy and sometime throw the country, and the rest of the world into a recession. Global trade is an international machine, not for just the USA, we are not alone in this world. We all benefit from global trade. No one likes to see almost everything coming from China, but the manufactures did that to them self after the American employees refused to do some jobs and ask for higher wages.
Thousands of USA citizens will suffer from the cuts and defunding the following cuts the Trump administration has made:
- Dept. education
- World Health Agency
Well said Harrold, and I completely agree!!!
