It has been a busy week, for myself and for the country. In the background, grumbling and scratching at my brain, tumbling around for seven days now, is the argument, “Look at what he accomplished.” He, of course, is Donald Trump. So here is a list.
He has privatized the federal government into a personal weapon.
He has alienated our allies and threatened them with economic war while giving comfort to our enemies.
He has withdrawn funding for agencies that offer help around the world and to his own people.
He has cut back our ability to predict disasters and alert the public.
He has openly declared himself to be President not of all Americans, but only his base.
He has burdened our grandchildren with an uncertain economy and growing debt.
He is gutting anyone who might disagree with him, including public broadcasting, which as a consequence imperils millions of his supporters who depend on public TV and radio.
He is bullying private corporations into subservience, and they are acquiescing.
He is gutting green energy industries who employ tens of thousands of American citizens.
He is destroying the Department of Education to our children's cost.
He is promoting the brain drain of the United States and deminishing our capacity to lead the world in science and technology.
He is normalizing racism, crime, and incompetence, as well as promoting the threat of domestic violence.
Way to go, King Donald. Make us proud.
