Donald Trump gave his
first address before a joint address of congress.
The T-Rump received a lot
of praise in the hours afterward in for most of the next day. Many of his
critics in the media revealed that they were extremely willing to forgive him
for his dark, destructive, and bombastic rhetoric, that they would forget, it
if he were to simply change his tone, they would move on.
I will not move on.
There
was a gentler tone to his speech. However, the policies he articulated are
dangerous for the American people, and the world. Enacting them will hurt us:
Billions
more in spending for a bloated military
A
drastic expansion in nuclear weapons programs
Tax
cuts that target the wealthiest people
Cuts
to everything else; the State Department, Education, Health Care, everything.
While
his performance received high praise, both the speech and its delivery were
mediocre. He gave no details on any specific policies, and merely promised “great
results.”
He
singled out the widow of a Navy Seal, whose husband died in the first covert
military action that T-Rump authorized. He repeated his lies about the success
of that mission. Earlier in the day he blamed the Obama administration for
planning the mission, and he blamed his generals for the loss of life.
He
revealed, once again, what a coward he is.
He
grossly attempted to bathe in the adulations given to the widow, he suggested
that her husband was looking down from heaven, and very happy that she received
two minutes of applause from congress.
I
am guessing he would rather be with his family.
The
speech was another example of bad policy, and worse politics. Just as the
pundits were shifting into their praise mode, another story broke about members
of his administration colluding with the Russians during the campaign in 2016.
This time it was his Attorney General who met with the Russian Ambassador
twice, and when asked about contact with the Russians at his confirmation
hearing, he did not answer truthfully, he misdirected, prevaricated, lied.
Two
days later he formally recused himself from any investigation concerning the
T-Rump administration and the Russians.
One
day ago he committed to revising the testimony he gave the Senate.
More
revelations about more meetings between the T-Rump campaign and the Russians
have come out since. Revelations about the Russian Ambassador meeting with
disgraced National Security Advisor, Mike Flynn, and T-Rumps son-in-law at
Trump Tower.
The
ambassador came in through the back door to avoid the press.
The
news about T-Rumps crimes, it drips steadily, day by day. The man is a
criminal, his campaign was a criminal operation, and there is a criminal
conspiracy underway to cover it up.
He
is a Fake President.
Today
T-Rump is attempting to distract the American people with stories about his
phones being tapped by the Obama Administration.
I
am sorry T-Rump, if your phones were tapped it is because you have been the
target of a criminal probe.
