Washington Mafia 2.0

Would you choose to work in a city where no one trusts one another; where success is measured by power and wealth; where doing the right thing is forbidden; where morality, integrity, and principles are not allowed to exist inside the city’s boundaries? If you are one of the men and women who spend most of their time in Washington, this is your life.

It began in 1981, and was fulfilled in 2017: the government of the United States is the most corrupt and incompetent within the world of developed nations. Trump is making serious efforts to make it even worse.

Not a single nominee named by Trump is qualified for his or her position. They have no experience or training in the agencies they will lead. Of even greater interest, is that each of these individuals has been suspected, accused, or indicted for crimes big and small.

Trump’s administration was rightfully called the “Washington Mafia” between 2017 and 2021, and this group will be thought of as the “Washington Mafia 2.0.”

I have been reading complaints from multiple individuals who are learning about some of Trump’s plans and are having “buyers’ remorse.” I don’t feel sorry for them, and I suggest that if they vote in the next election, they should learn something about the candidates before they vote, not after.

I became a political writer in 2011. My slogan is, “the truth lives here.” I have kept that promise. Unfortunately, my followers are few. I write about things many people don’t care about until they become problems. Trump has been a problem in our society since 2012.

I know that millions of people accept lies as facts and reject the truth. For instance, Trump has been a Russian agent since 1987. This was the first time he met Vladimir Putin. He and first wife, Ivana, were invited to Moscow by the KGB, and eagerly accepted. I found this article exposing another lie on Politico. However, it never reappeared during Trump’s failed administration.

In 2016, Trump’s reasons for seeking the presidency were twofold: to please his benefactor, and handler, Vladimir Putin, and to use the office of President of the United States to increase his personal wealth. He did nothing because he didn’t know how to be a president, and he was too busy promoting himself, golfing with possible clients, partying at Mar-a-Lago, holding hate rallies, and watching FOX Noise.

Deciding to run in 2024 were founded on three reasons: pleasing Putin, and finishing the tasks he began in 2017, using his position to increase his bank account, and the only chance he had to remain out of prison for his many felonies.

The Washington Mafia has received a second term.
