The way to build disgust with Trump is to follow the money. How much did he and his cronies and family and his coffers of any variety pocket? Four days among very wealthy men didn’t cost him a dime and was met with lavish lifestyle and gifts. How much did the son of a bitch take home?
See, what is missing with this administration, besides trust, is the “Public Trust.” The power Trump is using to carry out his chronic crimes was built up over centuries of time. There is an investment there. By Americans since the inception of this great democracy.
Every generation since the Revolutionary War has sacrificed for the very democracy that has grown to be the single most incredible democracy on Earth. Not even the Greeks or Romans can tout the citizen involvement in a country’s governance. We are a representative democracy, but, it has been honed over time to expand the power of the electorate. The power granted to those elected to office is the Public Trust AND its value to citizens both tangible and intangible.
Two examples:
The National Parks. These areas of land are beautiful and allow the least wealthy of Americans a place for respite and reflection in whatever manner they seek. They contain wonders of this world in the wilderness they protect and the healthy air available there. Today, because of the planned assault by Trump’s criminal network some of those magnificent public lands are closed to citizens. The Park Rangers that remain are stressed to the max and it is easy to realize how the danger of our Parks are no longer contained for the safety of Americans. What this administration has done is destroyed the Public Trust promised to Americans by centuries of hard work and sacrifice. Additionally, what is also being conducted on our public lands in the absence of visitors to them? Clear cutting of forest? Forests that belong to us and our love for the land they magnificently arise. Killing of wildlife? I don’t want hear one more complaint about grizzlies and wolves. They are allowed to be protected as an example of a country that values life and land. Spectators are allowed but senseless killing of increasing numbers of threatened and endangered species due to a heating planet is NOT.
The Trump administration is in violation of the oaths of office they took to service this country and protect it. Being elected into office is an honor to serve carrying the Public Trust in one’s heart and the burden on their shoulders.
The Public Educational System. Ever hear of Pinkerton Academy? If memory serves me well that was the coveted place for young MEN to achieve education to carry forward sophistication at the beginning of the thirteen original colonies. Education has been a treasured gift of freedom and today it is under attack by those lacking moral fiber to maintain and GROW in outreach to every American. Today an idiot called Linda McMahon wants to close down the federal Department of Education that ensues high standards and sound universities. She is in violation of the oath of office she took when confirmed as Secretary of that great Caninet position.
Public schools from Pre-K to PhD and Postgraduate is NONE of her business. It is the business of every American in this country. The Secretary of Education’s responsibility is to ensue the educational system is as good as it gets producing valuable talents for Americans that touch every life and their chosen path.
Her violation of the oath to that office is a national security risk that dummies down our magnificent brain trust and brings this country to the point of vast impoverishment lacking knowledge and opportunity PROMISED by centuries of hard work and sacrifice. She has no right to assault the integrity of our educational system and values. None!
Across this great country there are public universities, some valued for their graduates over and above the private schools. Those public universities were established by recognition of federal land grants to protect this great country and bring about magnificent growth of an economy that cannot be killed by criminals. Every aspect of life is provided for in the curriculums developed by centuries of high moral standards and integrity.
Each state has universities that exist because the citizens of that state demand it. Chancellors and university presidents are required to bring ballot issues to the citizenry to approve the spending of precious taxes to improve and expand to accommodate a modern day society hungry for innovation and perfection. When those ballots are statewide they mostly pass providing monies that will result in better quality of life for the citizens it serves. States Rights as provided by the Constitution of the United States of America have the right to demand payment of federal taxes to fill in the gaps of funding to make sure every states’ citizens have equal opportunities to achieve as much education as desired. The Queen of the WWF has no right to inhibit excellence and achievement by the people of this country.
The Public Trust is a real thing. It exists in every American heart and mind with a clear understanding this country was built on hard work and promise the future awaits in the hope of every child born on USA soil. The Trump administration has no right to carry out criminal intentions to rob the people of their rightful place in a country. A country with a rich heritage and innate desire for a future that improves with every passing generation.
The American Dream is real and is more than owning a home. It is about education and health, recreation and quality of life. NO CRIMINAL PRESIDENT and his CORRUPT CABINET has the right to remove the promise made by centuries of generations that strove for the best for it’s children and their quality of life.
This country wasn’t built by billionaires. It was built by us as Americans and it will always belong to the promise of tomorrow.
