For Trump, it’s all about his personal wealth
NEW YORK NIGHTS
Every day it’s something new. Now we see our president accepting a $400 million dollar gift airplane from Qatar, while he bullies Republicans to take away Medicaid and food stamps from the neediest Americans.
You know, we read many letters in this paper telling us just how much good President Donald J. Trump is doing for us, how we should stop being ‟Marxist Lefties” and how lucky we should all feel about having a president who finally puts Americans first. Well, these two Marxist Lefties find it virtually impossible to reconcile the actions of Trumpworld with the reality of helping anyone, no matter how much gibberish they may espouse.
The cognitive dissonance between their words and their deeds just make our heads spin (to the left, of course).
However, Trumpworld becomes much clearer to us and much easier to understand when we remember that everything President Donald J. Trump and his minions do are done with the singular goal of making him money! That’s it. Nothing else matters to him. Not the welfare of Americans, not leading the free world, not maintaining democracy…nothing.
OK…now we get it, and although we still don’t see why Republicans choose to go along with him, we do know one thing. We just can’t wait to vote for Democrats at our earliest opportunity. We don’t know how Republicans can even look their fellow Americans in the eye.
