It's official, the Trump administration is now the worst in the history of America. How could it not be? Consider what is happening with the following: The grifting of America by Trump and his family, the Iran war, the national health and food crisis, the burying of the Epstein files, the rolling back of civil rights for disenfranchised Americans, and a compromised Supreme Court. I could go on, but I think you get the point.
What is maddening about all of this, is that the American press and media apparatus that controls it, is willfully ignoring what is being done to us. The corporate media, which is bought and paid for by the billionaire class, will not tolerate real journalism, and it continues to push the narrative that all is well as long as the stock market is up, and their portfolios continue to grow. Real Americans are suffering, and they don't care.
I will give Trump credit, though, he understood from the very start what he needed to do to make his grift work. He created a narrative of victimhood for White Americans, and an us against them rallying cry to mobilize his base and gin up support for his movement. It worked. It helped to get elected, twice. And, sadly, those of us who saw it coming were powerless to do anything about it. The MAGA movement was born, and even after January 6th and all the other horrible things that Trumpism spawned, they are still going strong. They are manipulated by the billionaire class, and the politicians they support, who benefit from the ignorance and apathy of the majority population.
Yesterday Donald Trump said that those poor sailors who are suffering on the USS Abraham Lincoln, due to lack of food and other basic needs, are not there long enough. Think about that for a minute, a man who lied to get out of military service, wants men and women who are serving to suffer even more. Mr. Trump lied to the nation about vaccines that are poured into a child's body in order to implement an executive order overhauling federal childhood vaccines. He lied about the US controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and he believes that we should continue paying more for gas, as it's just a "minor inconvenience" to pay for his unnecessary war.
None of it matters. He is still the president, and he will be for the next two plus years, maybe more if he has his way. America's only hope now is that the Democrats win both houses of Congress in the midterms, and in spite of everything I just mentioned, that could go either way. We can thank the aforementioned media and their obsession with the wrong things-- such as whether a Democratic party candidate in the Democratic primary is a Socialist or Socialist light-- for that. They are conveniently forgetting, of course, about all the other bats**t crazy stuff that is happening under the current administration.

Nope, they're all going up, and he knows it. But a con man never gives up on the con, until it's too late for the mark to realize that he has been taken.
