In Trump's world, it's all about money and power

I was just looking through a military surplus catalog, every item from another country was made in that country, every surplus item from our military was made in another country, Mexico, China, Vietnam, etc. Most of Trump’s campaign items, hats, T-shirts, banners, etc. are also made in another country.

Instead of improving our already great country, Trump has taken the promise out of the promise land, except if you’re rich and white. Making rich white people richer and demonizing other races is creating a great divided country.

This divided country will backfire on Trump when lower income whites realize Trump is also racist against them. How long will that take, Trump wants to be Putin, give him four more years and he will desecrate this country. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Trump wants a war with Iran to obscure his true desires. He uses false information and backing from companies that make billions from war. We have sacrificed to many to often to let this happen again. Iraq did not attack us on 9/11 or have weapons of mass destruction. Saudi Arabia was responsible for 9/11, now they are Trump’s allies against Iran?

We are a nation of immigrants, what most of these immigrants are fleeing is drug cartel violence, unspeakable violence against women and children. We are the biggest consumer of the drugs cartels sell, its all about the money. In Trump’s world, it’s all about money and power. Dump Trump.
