Low Lifes Put In Charge By Trump

Donald Trump, the President elect, has picked cabinet appointees as compromised as himself. I mean, nominating Matt Gaetz for Attorney General was an attempt at putting the sleaze in place early. Gaetz, like Trump, is a serial sexual abuser of women and these are the people Americans want in charge of their country. Low lifes put in charge by Trump. The Gaetz nomination failed early but it set the tone for the next Trump administration. Trump wants others around him who are as compromised as himself, as it is easier to manipulate those who owe you something. The nomination of Pete Hegseth for Defense Secretary is another clouded in similar issues around the treatment of women.
“Mr Gaetz was Donald Trump’s pick for attorney-general in his incoming administration but he pulled out of contention as sexual misconduct rumours swirled and senators indicated they were likely to block his appointment. The new report was produced by the ethics committee, which is comprised of five Democrats and five Republicans. It says Mr Gaetz’s conduct while a congressman “reflects discreditably upon the House”. It alleges he “violated House Rules, state and federal laws, and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use” and other matters.”
Trump Owes A Lot Of Powerful People
America is a disappointing place, in my view, with a corrupt and dysfunctional administration about to take up the reins. On the one hand, Donald Trump owes so much to so many that he has sold the integrity of the executive before a shot is even fired. Elon Musk is the most obvious large creditor following the re-election of Donald Trump to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars. Musk is the unelected power behind the throne who is not shy of throwing his weight around. The richest man in the world will want a return on his investment, that’s for sure.

Low Life’s & Billionaires Lining Up Behind Trump
Musk is not the only creditor, however, just the greatest and the latest in a long line of them. Trump has done so many deals in his desperate bid for a second term in the White House that it will be government for the billionaires by the billionaires. The ordinary schmucks who voted for Trump and all those who didn’t are going to be in for a rough ride, I predict. You cannot be but hugely disappointed in the American people at what has transpired and is about to over the next 4 years, at least. Democracy has been a thin coating stretched to breaking for a long time and now its failure is out in the open. Perhaps, that will be a good thing going forward. I mean, you don’t know what you’ve got till its gone is the old song lyric. Vested interests have been running the show for much of history with window dressing concerns for diversity and equal opportunity. Now, the people who brought you United Healthcare and the greed of Wall St want to wipe those from the Constitution too. The American people elected them on this basis when they had the chance to vote for an alternative.
Stupid is as stupid does. Bernie Sanders has been telling the American people how it really is for decades. It seems that not enough people are listening. Trump the reality TV star is more real than real to too many Americans. A nation that gets lied to every minute of the day. They believe the BS that is fed them, especially via TV. If you keep telling folk that all their problems are because of someone else you increase your political popularity but you never hope to solve the problem. That is not the game. Trump will again make a lot of noise and get f*** all done. This tariff strategy is just another fund raising scheme for the grifter. Low lifes put in charge by Trump.
Trump threatens countries with high tariffs on their goods coming into the US. Meanwhile, behind closed doors deals are done that benefit him personally and his benefactors. Already, he is picking public fights with soft targets like Panama and Greenland. He is warning Canada and Mexico, both political enemies because of their current leadership. The US has a convicted felon for President elect and the world’s expectations are low in light of who Trump is. The foxes are going to be in charge of the hen house to use an old analogy. Stupid folk have voted for Trump in the hope that they will get some scraps from the high table. Whites have put him in office to restore their long standing unfair advantages. Black men to bolster their status in the face of progressive women. Latino men likewise to keep their machismo intact. They all hope that a crook in charge of the economy will make them more money.
