Donald Trump has deep authoritarian beliefs. He has lopped off many departmental heads and replaced them with acting heads. The reason is that he does not have to pass them through Congress’ confirmation hearings, he can fire them any minute, and he can suck up the former heads’ power. Then, POTUS indoctrinates his followers by telling them that CNN, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and The New York Times are “fake news.” That sets Americans up for his latest twitter tactic.
Trump just announced that he has put his hand-picked ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) head Mark Morgan in place. Then, the president smoothly inserted his latest tactic, tweeting as if he was a king. He tweeted:
‘I am pleased to inform all of those that believe in a strong, fair and sound Immigration Policy that Mark Morgan will be joining the Trump Administration as the head of our hard working men and women of ICE. Mark is a true believer and American Patriot. He will do a great job!’
The dictator-in-waiting disagreed with the Kentucky Derby winner. He even made it about politics, “in these days of political correctness:”
‘The Kentucky Derby decision was not a good one. It was a rough & tumble race on a wet and sloppy track, actually, a beautiful thing to watch. Only in these days of political correctness could such an overturn occur. The best horse did NOT win the Kentucky Derby – not even close!’
Trump has used the economy as his basic reason for existing in the White House and to command the country. Here he patted himself on the back for “our great economic results” after he imposed tariffs on China:
‘For 10 months, China has been paying Tariffs to the USA of 25% on 50 Billion Dollars of High Tech, and 10% on 200 Billion Dollars of other goods. These payments are partially responsible for our great economic results. The 10% will go up to 25% on Friday. 325 Billions Dollars….’
The president of these United States claimed that he and he alone has managed to right this economy, although President Barack Obama had already saved it and sent it soaring. Trump tweeted that he would tax China even further. What POTUS has not realized, due to ignoring his advisors, was that the tariffs end up being a tax on Americans:
‘….of additional goods sent to us by China remain untaxed, but will be shortly, at a rate of 25%. The Tariffs paid to the USA have had little impact on product cost, mostly borne by China. The Trade Deal with China continues, but too slowly, as they attempt to renegotiate. No!’
