What’s That Sucking Sound?

It is the sound of life being sucked out of a once vibrant nation.

In 7 months Donny and his band of thugs has done more damage to this country that anyone before him….economically, socially, and any other topic one would like to explore….all to improve Donny’s fortune….

According to one analyst, President Donald Trump is using the presidency as a vehicle to rapidly enrich both himself and his family at the expense of both tax dollars and the efficacy of federal agencies in five particular ways.

In a Friday op-ed for the Daily Beast, columnist Michael Rothkopf likened Trump to a “vampire.” He argued that world leaders like Trump are in office not to serve the public but to “suck that strength out of the institutions, economies and resources they have been entrusted with protecting and cultivating — and take the wealth, status and influence for themselves.”

“They are parasites. And Donald Trump is our parasite-in-chief,” Rothkopf wrote. “… He is sucking the blood out of our country. If he continues as he has been, when he is done there will be nothing left but the pale, lifeless husk of the America that was.”

“It’s not supposed to work that way. But it is where we are,” Rothkopf continued. “… The only comfort we can take is from the knowledge that in the end, sunlight kills vampires … We live in an era in which new social media and mass communication platforms are enabling and empowering all of us to contribute to that process. And that in turn is the only way to truly put a stake through the heart of this blood-sucking regime — that the we, the people, rise up and reject him and those close to him in every election that takes place from now until they are gone.”

Enrichment by billions since taking office….

Donald Trump has leveraged both terms of his presidency to pocket billions of dollars, according to a bombshell report.

A lengthy investigation fromThe New Yorker estimates Trump and his family will have enriched themselves by more than $3.4 billion by the end of his second term, much of it from deals, transactions, and investments that almost certainly wouldn’t have happened if he’d never been president.

“The way he pursues every possible avenue for money gives people who provide that money a clear sense that they are going to get something in return,” Wertheimer told the New Yorker. “Almost anyone who sees what’s going on has to assume that this money is buying the President’s favor.”

The damage done to this country is extensive and it only took 7 months…..we still have almost 3 and half years for even more damage to be wrought on the nation and its people.

I sincerely hope that all those that voted for this clown get hit the hardest.

  1. I saw today that the appeal court has excused him the $500 million fine imposed by New York. No doubt he paid off the judges involved. He can do what he likes, as often as he likes, safe in the knowledge that there will never be any repercussions. It really is incredible just how much America has changed in so short a time. It has become a completely different country, a Monarchist Dictatorship, with Trump as both king and dictator rolled into one.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    1. Pete it was probably a judge that owes his gig to Donny. In 7 months everything has changed….it will take much longer to rebuild if ever. chuq

  2. Leave the poor guy alone…77 million trusting hopeful souls must have thought he would be worth their investment and who am I to argue with that many people? In the end, he will not be able to enjoy his wealth too much, especially if he goes the way of other human beings who become too old to enjoy anything. Besides which, why are some folks always so envious of his wealth and position? That’s all it is when you think about it, covetousness and envy.

    1. As long as he breaths I will not leave him alone….Not my fault that there are so many stupid people…..it is not his wealth it is how he stole most of it and how he craps on anyone who cannot bribe him. Envy? Nope disgust is more like it. chuq

      1. Moreover, even when he croaks, “the family” will continue to enjoy the fruits of his labors of fleecing the rest of us.

    1. I hope they wake up but it seems as long as he picks on people of color they are fine with the rest of this agenda. chuq
