USA – What a Mess

“I’ll never cut your Medicaid.” Trump statement according to a Democrat.

"What a mess."

Thinking about the United States, I imitate a “Scream” and clasp my hands in frustration, anger and disbelief. Frustration that one man can do so much damage to a great nation, anger that a criminal got elected as President and disbelief that the values of so many Americans have fallen so much that most are blind to the wolf grinning at the sheep around him. Ben Meiselas, spokesperson for Trump is one of those sheep, as are others in the Trump administration.

January 6 is infamous for the attack on the United States Capitol in 2021, when a violent mob of Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building in Washington, D.C., in an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Convicted and jailed mobsters involved in the attack; Trump pardoned and freed them.

Booing is what people do when they object to someone, that someone is Donald Trump who at the US Open. He demanded organisers and broadcasters not show footage of him being booed. Add it to many other previous demonstrations and you see the rising unpopularity of the President and his policies.

Trump claims the Epstein saga is a great big hoax. The group of ladies, victims of Epstein’s abuse empire, who stood in front of government buildings while fighter jets roared above them, would strongly disagree. These women are prepared to name high profile politicians involved with Epstein. Some named them. According to latest reports, Trump has been caught interfering in the Epstein case. www.youtube.com/watch?v=55GtYheXM1I&ab_channel=BrianTylerCohen

Disgruntled farmers in traditionally red states, who voted for Trump, are dissatisfied with loss of workers, loss of markets, loss of income and rising costs, are being driven toward bankruptcy. These same farmers are pleading for billions from the government for relief from their economic woes.

CBS News report Americans open up about their struggles to afford basic needs. Cost of living expenses, food, power, car repairs and loans, medical coverage, mortgage payments; most have risen beyond the ability of people’s ability to pay.

Trumps misguided tariff policies have fractured international relationships, such as long-time allies Canada and the European Union. The most damage caused by the tariffs has been the American people themselves. Millions are suffering from high costs of basic needs imposed on them from Trump’s tariffs.

Interference in the justice system at all levels including judges is incredibly dangerous for the freedom of expression and individual rights.

Sending government troops into states the President is unhappy with – for whatever reason he sees fit to apply.

The removal of Medicaid affected millions of Americans. Medicaid insurance hasn’t been removed entirely, but millions of people have lost coverage recently due to the major policy shift, “an unwinding” process. Over 16 million people have been disenrolled since the process began. Children and families with chronic health needs have been hit especially hard. In some cases, one child in a family lost coverage while a sibling remained enrolled.

I’ve missed something except the conclusion, “USA, what a mess.”
