Trump puts himself and billionaire donors, not America, first
NEW YORK NIGHTS
We’re just disgusted hearing President Donald Trump and his Republican minions loudly crowing about, ‟Putting Americans first!” as their reason for his absurd tariffs.
Maybe we’d feel a little more supportive if Republicans hadn’t put all their energy into scuttling every single piece of legislation that President Obama, President Biden and the Democrats proposed during their tenures, trying to put Americans first.
Maybe we’d feel more charitable if Trump hadn’t coldly turned his back on veterans, who truly put America first in ways that he could never even imagine.
So don’t tell us that these tariffs, or Trump’s heartless firing of government employees are being done to put Americans first. They’re being done for the same reason Trump does everything….to increase his own power and to benefit his billionaire donors.
