It’s Only Day One, and He’s Screwing the Very People Who Supported Him

It’s Only Day One, and He’s Screwing the Very People Who Supported Him

I told you so

Here we are on day two of the Trump oligarchy, which is actually the first full day since his anointing. He didn’t wait for today to start his reign of terror, though. Yesterday, he began firing off executive orders like he was ordering Big Macs at McDonalds.

For all his followers who are on Medicare and Medicaid and have difficulty affording their prescription drugs, you must be thrilled. When Biden lowered the cost of insulin and other prescription drugs for people on Medicare and Medicaid, you were excited, but you didn’t give Biden credit for helping you. No, instead, you believed Trump’s lies promising you better healthcare. Yesterday, Trump rescinded Biden’s order. You now have lost your prescription drug savings so Trump could put more money in the pockets of his big pharma buddies.

Now that your prescription drug costs will remain high, you must be careful not to get sick. Don’t worry; Trump withdrew the US from the World Health Organization, so if there is another pandemic, you’re on your own, left only with bleach and heartworm medication. It must be comforting to hear Trump say he knows so much about health issues!

Yesterday, Trump also withdrew the US from the Paris Climate Agreement to protect his wealthy cronies in the oil industry. I’m sure this doesn’t mean anything to you MAGA supporters, who think the weather and the climate are the same thing. Maybe you’ll discover the difference when your home is blown away in a hurricane or left in ashes after a wildfire. But climate change is a hoax.

Thank God all of you Trump followers are straight, white Christians. Yesterday, he rolled back policies protecting gay and transgender rights and supporting equality and diversity. If your son or daughter loses their job or faces discrimination over their gender or sexual identity, you can proudly tell them you voted for that.

I doubt that any of you MAGA people have relatives who are children granted US citizenship through birthright citizenship because Trump is trying to eliminate that right. However, it will be next to impossible because it is a Constitutional Amendment. So forget about turning in your neighborhood children because they look Mexican.

These are just a few of Trump's executive orders issued on his first day as President. Wait until he places a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada! I’m sure you won’t have any problems paying 25% extra for your cars, fruits and vegetables, and beer. After all, your fearless leader said you weren’t better off with Biden.

This is only the beginning of Trump’s reign of terror, and there will be many, many more to come. Since he and wealthy white supremacist Christian nationalists have more in store to return the country to the days when the robber barons ruled and minorities existed in the shadows. For now, I will refrain from saying I told you so. I am sure you will get everything you deserve.
