On the nine month anniversary of the Second Trump Presidency, America saw the beginning of a massive demolition of the White House, “The People’s House”, on orders of Donald Trump, who decided on his own that the East Wing should be demolished, so that a massive Ballroom could be built to entertain guests, mostly billionaires, in the future!
It is an atrocity to see the damage wrought on the first day, and to realize that the supposed “ghosts” in the White House have been disturbed, due to the maniacal egotism of a man, who is allowing a billionaire oligarchy to subsidize this project, as a reward for dramatic cutting in their taxes at the expense of health care coverage for millions of Americans!
With the damage wrought by Trump in the first nine months, in a multitude of ways, and topped off by the assault on “the People’s House” on this anniversary, one can only imagine and fear what further damage and destruction Trump will create in his intention to create a Fascist authoritarian regime, that destroys American Democracy and the Rule of Law!
The tens of millions who oppose this regime must continue to resist in every way imaginable, and never give up the fight, because it affects not just us alive today, but future generations aas well!
