The ‘Leader of the Free World’ Is Holding His People Hostage.
What are we supposed to do?
The Trump administration is in a full blown panic over the direction that these investigations in to his finances are taking, and Trump has made sure that WE will be the ones to pay.
After a meltdown in a meeting with democratic leaders that was supposed to be about the country’s infrastructure, Trump stormed out and took to the press. He wasted no time telling the media that there would be no more discussions with democrats about not just infrastructure, but drug prices as well until the congressional investigations were put to an end.
No talks on drug prices.
This is not governing of any kind. This is not playing cards right in order to achieve what you want. The President of the United States, the supposed leader of the free world and symbol of democracy has reduced us to nothing but a political tool. He has taken our lives and the lives of people we love, and turned it in to a game.
When it comes to our government, I have been frustrated. I have been angry. I have felt hopeless. But I truly cannot remember ever feeling this powerless. You and me, we aren’t people in his eyes. We are a commodity. Nothing more than a cheap product to be waved around and tossed aside like a toy.
