John Funiciello

American workers have been indoctrinated into the myth of individual achievement and that everyone must achieve success (however that is defined) on his or her own and individualism is the key to most things American.

He needs the energy of their naked hatred, hatred of the “other,” and that could be anything that spews forth from the mouth of their “dear leader.”

He is a laughing stock among the leaders of the rest of the world, no matter in what part of the political spectrum they stand. They know a buffoon when they see one and they know how to deal with one.

Truth will not be tolerated in Trump’s America, for if the rank-and-file citizens were well-educated and well-informed, they would not tolerate his lying and incompetence for one minute.

Whatever the politicians have done, especially the Republicans in the Congress, the money has not reached the people and the eviction tidal wave that’s coming is going to cause big problems.

his base should never forget his view of rural people, in Scotland or in the U.S., is that they “live like pigs” and that he has shown his contempt for them in so many ways. Being a child of privilege and power (he reportedly has golden toilets in his residences) and never having grown out of that childish stage of development, he only has respect for those of his class, a very small group, indeed, and can’t understand that everyone does not live in his Land of the Golden Toilets.

Trump doesn’t like to be crossed and he insists that he is the “least racist person” that you’d find in the country, but it’s all in his mind. His actions and words give it the lie.

Trump is fanning the flames of discontent all by himself by his provocation and his use of thugs in what had been mostly peaceful demonstrations.
