Another Huge Mistake by Trump Will Greatly Damage America’s Economy

Immigration reform. This is a problem ignored by both political parties for decades. It has become a “hot button” issue for many men and women who watch network news broadcasts, most frequently by the fake news, Fox News.

From day one, Trump began his attempts to detain and deport anyone who is not pure white, even if they could prove they were in America legally. We know that he has a very low level of intelligence, and once again he proved my assumption by his own actions.

Without immigrants, legal or illegal, two industries will lose millions of dollars, and consumers will pay for his folly.

Ask anyone who works in the agriculture industry or in construction, and they will tell you that in 21^st century America it is difficult to find young men and women who are willing to accept jobs in these to industries. Both of these jobs require hard, physical effort.

For as long as I can remember, immigrants from our neighbor to the south arrived in the fields of Central California to harvest fruits and vegetables.

When I drove by any construction site, I would see Hispanic men carrying lumber, pouring concrete, and performing multiple tasks which require hard work, work that white, young Americans refuse to accept, the same effort required in the fields where our food supply is grown.

This is additional proof that Trump knows nothing about our nation’s economy. This helps us understand why he failed in his attempts in the world of real estate, Trump Airline, Trump Meat, and dozens of other businesses he knew nothing about.

Our country is suffering from another destructive, illegitimate Trump presidency. The primary reason he is defiling our White House, again, is the responsibility of ignorant, uninformed voters.

I read that most voters who surrendered their precious votes to Trump, believed that he would be the best choice for our nation’s economic future. Either they know nothing about what really happens in Washington, or they choose to be ignorant. They are unaware that in his final year in office, 2020, Trump’s fiscal incompetence placed our nation in a near depression.

Today, his fiscal policy, centered upon his bullying tactic of tariffs, continues to harm the vast majority of our nation’s people, and add trillions of dollars to the national debt. At the same time, he is wasting approximately ten million dollars every month with excursions to his golf courses and his millionaire’s/billionaire’s playpen, Mar-a-Lago.

They most definitely do not learn from history. In 1993, Democrat Bill Clinton saved America from the fiscal failures of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. In 2009, Democrat Barack Obama rescued our nation from George W. Bush’s Great Recession, who chose to use the same failed fiscal policy of his Republican predecessors. In 2021, Joe Biden chose the best men and women in the world as his advisers. His administration repaired the damage from Covid-19, a healthcare emergency ignored by his predecessor, Donald Trump, and established programs which resulted in the most successful economy since Bill Clinton’s between 1993 and 2001.

Democratic Presidents succeed while Republicans fail when the subject is our nation’s economy.

Wake up America. Turn off the boob tube and learn the truth.
