100 Days of Chaos and Racism— Revolt Is Spreading and Trump Is Sinking
Revolt is spreading from the streets to the courts, from law offices to university campuses. Republicans are worried they will lose the midterm elections next year. Following Trump’s 100 days, Trump now seems very vulnerable as the political situation has changed against him. Many people—both Democrat and Republican—are concerned as Trump is sinking into more and more outrageous policies. He is viewed by many Americans as a failure and a running wild dictator.
People are in the streets protesting everything Trump stands for. According to an article in The Guardian,
“Have we ever seen a more error-prone, incompetent and fumbling presidency? In their rush to implement a barely concealed authoritarian agenda, this administration is producing a litany of blunders, gaffes and slip-ups. At times, they’ll seek to hide those mistakes by projecting a shield of authoritarianism. At other times, they’ll claim the mistake as a method of walking back an unpopular authoritarian agenda item.”
Tariff Chaos: A War With No Strategy
Trump reversed several of his own reversals because he had such a grotesque change of a blundering heart on tariffs. His tariff war is based on an old idea but didn’t bother to notice the world was globalized since he started his misled ideas of tariffs.
Some of his tariffs are simply reckless threats and ego-tripping bluster, as countries around the world are letting him know they can negotiate trade deals without the U.S. But Walmart, Target, and others need China in order to survive.
Trump realizes—only too late—that his tariff war with China is a losing game, and he has backed down.
Making It Up as He Goes
Trump claimed that he is talking with China, but no such talks were in the works when he made this outrageous claim. China used to import a lot of Ford cars and trucks, but thanks to Trump’s tariff war, this will hurt Americans on auto assembly lines and result in the price of car parts skyrocketing.
These price increases are harming Americans more than China is.
Broken Promises and Big Talk
Remember when Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine when he got into office?
“Before I even arrive at the Oval Office, shortly after I win the presidency, I will have the disastrous war between Russia and Ukraine settled . . . I will have that settlement done within 24 hours.”
Yeah right!
Remember when he said he would reduce grocery prices?
Nothing has happened.
Remember when he said America would prosper like “nothing ever seen before”?
It sure has—but not like he claimed—as the stock market is tumbling and chaotic every week.
Like a dictator who rules by decree, he uses “executive orders” to rule by idiocy, as he clearly does not know what he is doing.
Erasing History: Trump’s War on DEI and Black Institutions
Trump is now attacking Black museums and institutions by ending what his cronies invented:
“Woke ideology.”
This means erasing the ugly racist history of America and pretending:
• That white supremacy never existed
• That slavery was good
• That segregation was not a problem
• That a return to the false history of white dominance is OK
He is hoping to accomplish this by ending DEI programs and even said:
“I’ve ended all of the so-called diversity, equity and inclusion programs across the entire federal government and the private sector and notified every single government DEI officer that their job has been deleted. They’re gone. They’re fired.”
This is white supremacy at its best.
