TRUMP
REPORT CARD: F
Week
of January 13, 2018 in Review
Ryan
and McConnell are salivating after our Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security
to pay for the billion dollar tax cuts for the rich and corporations. They need more money while apparently we can
do with less.
Feinstein releases Fusion
transcripts, further implicating Trump and Republicans, who have been
selectively ignoring it. The web of
collusion is encroaching upon them.
Trump gives Deutsche Bank and four
others with criminal records the Christmas gift of managing American retirement
accounts. Deutsche Bank is the only bank willing to give Trump credit.
Trump makes good on oil and gas campaign
promises (bribes) to open up America’s coasts for drilling, and quickly exempts
Florida and Mar-a-Lago. Business
friendly = lining his pockets.
Dreamers get temporary reprieve
with a ruling that the Trump administration must resume accepting renewal applications.
Congress must pass legislation by January 19 or families will be ripped apart.
Another January 19th
deadline will cause some states to lose funding for the Children’s Health
Insurance Program (CHIP)—a highly successful, cost efficient program
that provides health care coverage to 9 million low- and middle-income
children.
While Attacking the First Amendment,
and likely Fire and Fury, Trump makes this priceless statement, “You can’t say
things that are false, knowingly false and be able to smile as money pours into
your bank account.” Doesn’t that define him
and his presidency?

And, finally, speaking on
immigration and referring to Haiti, Africa and El Salvador, racist Trump asks “Why
are we having all these people from shithole
countries come here?” Later in the meeting,
referring to Nigerians, says they would never “go back to their huts”.
