Trump 2.0: Curiouser and curiouser [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-04-02

My local paper, The Beacon of Northwest Volusia County (Florida) just published my letter.

Trump 2.0 gets curiouser and curiouser. Canada, our evil enemy, requires a Russian like invasion and annexation. Trump praises Putin and suspends U.S. military programs blocking Russian cyber attacks and sabotage activities.

Trump’s promise to slow inflation and grocery prices is shelved by tariffs and layoffs. “Lowering prices is hard.” Trump’s new message, expect pain and maybe a recession. Lifelines like Social Security and programs that feed infants, school kids, and poor people are cut.

Our slow but steady trend toward human rights for all is rapidly reversed. Women, non-heterosexuals, and people of color, including Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians are deleted. The list of notable veterans buried at Arlington Cemetery now includes only white males. NASA cancels plans for a woman and person of color on the next moon landing.

Food safety, CDC, EPA, Medicaid, Medicare, and Veterans Affairs lose critical staff. Cancer research cut. Scientists working on bird flu fired. JKF Jr. suggests letting bird flu “run its course,” a plan that increases by millions the chance of viral mutations. Lowering our high infant mortality and raising our lagging life expectancies are no longer goals.

White collar police defunded. Agencies with fraud and anti-trust cases against billionaires Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg eliminated. I can’t wait for their trickle down tax breaks.

Most curious about Trump 2.0: “Why is an unelected South African immigrant destroying our institutions?”
