What will it take for people to realize just who Trump is? He breaks decades of tradition by refusing to disclose his taxes. He says he doesn’t need daily intelligence briefings because “he is very smart.” He intends to continue his worldwide business ventures even though that will present many conflicts of interest as he attempts to run the country.
He rails against corporations which take their businesses off shore, threatening to levy tariffs against them, at the same time that his companies make use of cheap Chinese labor and his daughter, Ivanka, is moving her manufacturing from China to Indonesia where human rights violations are even more egregious but labor costs are much lower.
In addition, Trump imports foreigners to work in his U.S. hotels and purchases Chinese steel instead of American for his construction projects. Putting America first obviously applies only to other companies; not Trump’s.

He bullies anyone who dares to speak out against him including a union leader in Indiana, the TV show SNL, and almost all news media. His response to freedom of speech is vengeful and punitive. That is chilling coming from a President of the United States of America whose words have great power.
It should be extremely concerning to realize that Trump’s picks for cabinet positions line up more with Wall Street and Russia than with the interests of our own rust belt workers. His appointees range from former and current Goldman Sach’s executives, to those who appear to be paybacks for donations, or have definite ties to Russia and friendships with Putin.
Trump voters were played big time! He proceeds to do exactly what he falsely accused Hillary of doing. In her case the chant was “lock her up.”
Paraphrasing Maya Angelou: Believe him when he shows you who he is!
