Trump’s “Accomplishments” Over His First 19 Months

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

As the midterm elections draw near, it’s time to rate your illegitimate president on what he has done, and what he has not done.

First, the only thing he has done is to give additional tax breaks to the super-rich: his oligarchs/billionaires. That’s it.

The issues he has either refused to address, or situations he made worse, are numerous.

Trump destroyed the East Wing of the White House. He is building an unwanted and unnecessary ballroom. This fiasco will cost taxpayers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars if it is ever completed.

During his administration, President Obama, spent about $34 million repairing the reflecting pool on the National Mall. Trump, attempting to undo another accomplishment of a real president, gave a “no bid” contract to a personal friend to make changes. It was a disaster, and remains incomplete. The cost, so far, is about $25 million.

Trump’s celebration of our nation’s 250-year anniversary cost more than $150 million; most of it taxpayer money. It was a disaster. Another failure for the orange buffoon. He did not offer praise for his predecessors, he embarrassed every patriotic American who ever lived.

Trump accepted a bribe/gift of a new 747-8. Refitting the aircraft cost taxpayers about $400 million. Operating Trump’s new toy costs more than $206,000 per hour, or $3,000 each minute.

Trump’s wasteful spending, combined with his use of taxpayer dollars for personal use of moe than $10 million each month, added $3.8 trillion to the national debt, which is now over $40 trillion.

Inflation continues to be a serious problem for most working-class Americans. His ill-advised tariffs have exacerbated the problem. Low-income, and senior Americans are struggling to survive.

Without congressional approval, Trump began a war on another Muslim nation. There is no end in sight. The cost to taxpayers is currently approaching $500 billion. Another broken campaign promise.

Levying additional tariffs against our closest and most loyal ally, Canada, not only created a “trade war,” it may end our relationship with our neighbor to the north. They are seeking an alliance with the European Union.

Trump is using his personal Gestapo to terrorize our nation’s people who are simply protesting King Trump’s illegal actions related to his racist immigration actions and massive internment.

His constitutional violations are too numerous to list in this short article. However, with every breath he takes, he is in violation of the Emoluments Act. As I write this article, he and his family have increased their personal wealth by more than $4 billion in just 19 months. Trump is using his position as your illegitimate president for personal benefit.

After six corrupt members of the Supreme Court granted the orange buffoon “absolute immunity,” he continues to violate the Law of the Land, knowing that he no longer faces punishment for his crimes. Violating and claiming rights which do not belong to the executive branch, he has become a dictator/king. It is an irrefutable fact that his administration is composed of fascists/traitors.

Trump continues to use lies and misdirection to divide our nation’s people. Meanwhile, he is assisting Vladimir Putin with his lifelong ambition to destroy America.

Recently, Trump attempted to bribe American voters with a gift of $5,000 each if they vote for Republicans on November 3^rd. Trump has proven himself to be nothing more than a “Mafia Don.”

Hate crimes in the form of domestic terrorism have risen by 800 percent since Trump’s nomination in July of 2016.

Economically, America cannot afford Trump. His total contribution to the national debt between 2017 and 2021, and over the last 19 months is nearly $8,000,000,000,000.00.

Democracy is under attack by the man defiling our White and the demise of the dream of our Founding Fathers will soon disappear.

Put him where he should have been since January 6, 2021: “Lock him up.”
