Trump Wages ‘Nuclear War’ on the Working Class

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump has never worked a full day in his pitiful and worthless life. He has no idea how difficult life can be for most Americans. The sad truth is, he doesn’t care.

Friday, Trump laid off more than 4,000 federal employees. In the first weeks of his illegitimate administration, he and his former “bestie,” Elon Musk. chose to fire thousands of government employees who actually worked for a living. Because of his destructive actions, Trump is blocking the monthly jobs report, knowing that unemployment is reaching levels not seen since 2007.

The truth is clear. The posted schedule for the men and women who hold positions in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of our corrupt government are paid excessive amounts of money, but only perform their responsibilities for a small amount of time each year.

Trump’s “work” schedule averages about three hours each day when he is in the White House. He spends hours each day watching television where, according to him, “learns everything he needs to know.” Most of his time is spent golfing and partying at his millionaires/billionaires playpen, Mar-a-Lago.

The legislative branch doesn’t like to be in Washington either. Members of the House spend less than one-half of each year on Capitol Hill: just 140-147 days. The Senate averages only 165.

Your corrupt Supreme Court never works a full week, only working on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from October to April. My math tells me that they only work about 84 days each year.

All three branches of government are receiving their salaries during the shutdown, for nothing. Each year, the three branches of government collect base salaries, not including benefits and other “add-ons” of at least $97,000,000.

Will Rogers was probably right. “"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're actually paying for."

The most disgusting fact of all is that in nearly five years of being your illegitimate president, Trump has collected $400,000 each year, plus the use of Air Force One and other perks, but has done nothing for the majority of our nation’s people. But he is more than willing to take food out of the mouths of Americans who must work for a living.
