TRUMP: Shall we dance?

Hmmm Let’s see: $200 million to put a ballroom in the United States Capital. Will we be invited to attend a dinner and formal ball to enjoy this little extravagance? And since Brent Regan gives the definition of words as “us poor folk” don’t know anything, here it is: ex-trav-a-gance, lack of restraint in spending money. The answer is no, we will not be invited as Trump, who only rubs with the rich that pay him to keep them rich, has or will cut Medicaid, student loans, women’s rights, education, public broadcasting, clean energy, fewer gun laws, and the list goes on and on!  And I have to mention the deportation of the wonderful farm workers that pick all the fruits and veggies — Americans would rather collect welfare than do manual work! Only Trump’s “rich folk” will be able to afford a $25 apple!

For the first time in my life, I am glad that I don’t have grandchildren that may have to live in a dictatorship but pray things will be back on track for those of you lucky enough to have grandkids. And I know most of you are saying your prayers that we return to a civilized and respected country. What I really don’t understand is that over 30% of our voters fail to vote and that doesn’t even include those not registered to vote. Why? I’ve heard some say their vote doesn’t count. That is a very obvious false statement to the detriment of a once proud and thriving nation! 

The United States used to be the envy of the world — now the world has nothing but contempt and disrespect for our once amazing nation! How sad!
