As I watch my 401(k) hemorrhaging, I feel an indescribable sense of outrage at the GOP Congress and the Trump MAGA administration. Trump is drunk on power, and every drunk needs to have enablers to keep them going. There are plenty of sycophantic enablers in the U.S. Congress, SCOTUS, Trump’s Cabinet and the billionaire oligarchs.
It’s very distressful to see my life savings plunging in a matter of days, but what really devastates me the most is that this administration is also toppling the global economy and destroying the precious relationships we once had with our allies and trade partners. We have completely lost their trust.
America seems to have declared a trade war with the rest of the world. I fear that it’s only a matter of time before this economic war turns into the real thing. At the moment, I am very worried that we are close to going to war with Greenland or Iran, for starters.
I can’t help but resent all those who continue to support Trump in the destruction of our country and in the devastation of world order. America can’t go it alone.
