How Trump’s racism will cause inflation and food shortages

America voted to end the Constitution
Trump is choosing cabinet members now. And all are pretty bad choices but some are horrible beyond imagination.
Tulsi Gabbard is to be the DNI – Director of National Intelligence. Which means she is above the CIA and the FBI, etc. So she gets all the intelligence of America. She is “connected” to Russian tyrant Putin and Syrian tyrant Assad. As far as I can tell, she is an actual agent for Putin. So, we can expect her to feed U.S. Intelligence to Putin. Which Putin will find invaluable. Which means that all of our allies know that they can no longer share military and diplomatic intelligence with America. Which means American intelligence will be fatally crippled and will never fully recover, regardless of who future presidents are. So Putin wins. Oh boy…
Pete Hegseth is to be the head of the Department of Defense. This is unbelievable. The DOD is the largest organization in America with over three million people that he is supposed to manage. He has no managerial experience. He was in combat, I believe as a Captain. Not a General. He has not led a military organization as a one star, two star, or three star General or as an Admiral. To say he is unqualified is to be overly polite. His only “virtue” to Trump is that he wants to fire all women, all blacks, all gays, all “woke” hires in the military. Goodbye American military excellence. Putin is sooooooo pleased.
Matt Gaetz is a pariah in the House of Representative, under investigation for sex trafficking a minor, and infamous for showing lewd videos on his phone to House members of the young “women” that he had sex with after taking drugs to enhance his disgusting exploits. They were supposed to be impressed by this for some reason. To say he is a disgusting pig is to be overly polite. He is to be the head of the Department of Justice. His only “virtue” to Trump is that he will illegally attack and destroy all the people who Trump wants to attack and destroy – all who criticized the hyper-sensitive and pathetically fragile little Donnie. Putin is ecstatic.
But, you say, the Constitution says that Cabinet picks have to be approved by the Senate (Advise and Consent clause) and these despicable choices are not likely to be confirmed. Are you kidding? What confirmation process? Why is there a Confirmation Process in the Senate? Oh, the Constitution says there is to be a Confirmation Process. Who cares? Trump will just use his Constitutional power to adjourn the Congress and have his nominees be appointed as Recess Appointments, and that will be the end of it.
Constitution? Trump doesn’t need no stinking Constitution (paraphrase from the great Humphrey Bogart “Sierra Nevada film as he was about to be shot by Mexican bandits to steal his gold)
Oh well. The Constitution was nice while we had it.
BUT – damn it, this is still America and we have nearly a quarter of a millennium of Democracy and the Constitutional rule of law. I firmly believe that America is going to wake up and come out of the hypnotic trance that this TV celebrity has induced on his cult. I believe America will prevail over these autocrats. But, meanwhile, watch out, America.

Where is Batman when we need him?
Donald J Trump, insane candidate for president, beloved by the MAGA “Republican” Party, just promised to EXECUTE his Republican critic, Liz Cheney. I feel like we are in a Batman movie, and the villain (The Joker? The Penguin?) is running for president.
Always believe the threats of fascist autocratic psychopaths
But there is no Batman to save the day. Batman is us, the voters. This man is insane, literally, a psychopath.

If you want mass deportation & detention camps
Trump is promising to Round Up “illegal” immigrants, force them into concentration camps, and send them…? To Mexico? Who knows where. This will not be an orderly, legal process. It will be breaking down doors fully armed with assault weapons and perp walking brown people into unmarked vans and disappeared. The Nazi racist, Stephen Miller, will be in charge. If you are brown, watch out…
It will be brutal. It will be the image of America for generations, just as the Nazi round up of Jews onto train boxcars is an image of Germany that is with us still today.
This filthy man’s stain on America will never go away if he seizes power in 2025. He has already soiled us all. If re-elected he will have no constraints because he will have lickspittle subservients under him, and Schedule F will put only MAGA Cultists throughout the government.
Vote.

If you want big inflation, vote for Trump
If you want big inflation, vote for Trump. Trump’s stupid sweeping tariffs will obviously create a big boost in inflation. The imported goods’ prices skyrocket, domestic prices skyrocket almost as much but a bit lower, other countries retaliate with tariffs. Boom go the prices.
He is a stupid man with stupid ideas that are impervious to change.
If you are retired and on a fixed income tariffs are a path to impoverishment. So why do so many older white folks support this nonsense? I can only attribute lack of understanding how tariffs work - starting at the top. Plus, many are in his Cult, so they blindly agree and obey.
It’s the inflation, stupid.
Plus, of course, when he puts American businesses out of business with his Tariff wars he will also put millions of small businesses out of business by deporting millions of Hispanics (you know, brown people who “poison the blood” of white supremacist America). So, welcome to the second Great Depression caused by another Republican president.
It’s the second Great Depression, stupid.

Apparently, Donald Trump spent 39 minutes in silence, mostly silence, swaying back-and-forth to a long, long music medley while on a stage at his latest rally.

Musk is dangerous
Trump is stupid, mentally ill, deluded and dangerous. Musk is smart, mentally odd, and dangerous. Seems to me he is aiming to take over the authoritarian, fascist MAGA revolution. Here he is upstaging the rambling orange, declining candidate:
Watch out.
