Trump and his cohorts display heartless cruelty
NEW YORK NIGHTS
We can’t help but notice several constants in all of President Donald J. Trump’s moves so far. One, of course, is his utter and absolute greed. Whether it’s monetizing COVID, his laughably transparent attempts at ‟streamlining government,” his embrace of cryptocurrency, or his pathetic hawking of Teslas, bibles and sneakers, Trump is just obsessed with hoarding personal wealth.
Yet even more disturbing is the heartless cruelty that he and his Republican cohorts display. The cuts he is so determined to make in health care, the callous firing of so many government workers in order to fund tax cuts for his billionaire donors and his appalling abandonment of American veterans shows his disregard for the well-being of his own people.
The coldness of Trump’s abrupt Ukraine cutoff, his disgraceful treatment of President Zelenskyy, his abrupt dismissal of Palestinian objections to his plan to uproot them from Gaza and his frantic zeal to deport families who have resettled in America reveals a depraved indifference to humanity.
These Republicans and their supporters are just mean and cruel people. It is incomprehensible to us how they can look any decent, compassionate American in the eye.
