Instead of an impulse to world peace, Trump has exhibited an inclination to stir up hatred and animosity toward anyone who he sees as an opponent of his.

The history of the U.S. in this hemisphere is there for anyone to see and learn from, but this is not going to happen, as long as white nationalists and others of a white supremacist bent are given space and, to some degree, respectability by the president and his sycophants-in-charge.

When ignorance and hate are combined, it makes for a deadly stew and the result can be seen in the chaotic condition of the White House.

just doesn't seem to get the idea that there is an island that is a commonwealth of the U.S., that their people are American citizens, and that he should take action to help them in their time of need. Mayor Cruz speculated that he could be smarting from the bankruptcy of his golf course on the island.

there is endless war, violently imbalanced budgets, the suffering of the poor and minorities and the destruction of the environment, the source of all life. Only action by the people will change what the bullies and would-be rulers have wrought and it will have to be done by taking to the streets, since other means of communication are not very effective.

Contamination of water and air and soil and adding to the worst mass extinction the world has seen in millions of years. All of this is less than than the tip of the Trumpian iceberg, but he doesn't care as long as money can be made by the rich through his efforts. What he doesn't seem to have noticed is that humans are a part of what is being destroyed and he has visited even more suffering on the American people.

Early this month, as the Maine legislature was considering electing U.S. presidents by popular vote, rather than through the Electoral College, he called the move “insane,” according to the New York Daily News, and said that a popular vote system would allow minorities to elect presidents, even though whites make up about 61 percent of the U.S. population.
