Donald Trump’s Massive Destruction Of LBJ’s “Great Society”!

Ronald 48 Comments

America is witnessing under Donald Trump in his second term Presidency a goal that the extreme right wing MAGA Movement and “Project 2025” has been working toward for decades—the massive destruction of all of the good work of President Lyndon B. Johnson and his “Great Society” in the mid 1960s.

All of the major actions of the Johnson Presidency in domestic affairs, and also of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, is being reversed in a heartless, callous, cruel manner by both Donald Trump and the extreme right wing majority of the John Roberts Supreme Court.

Among these actions of massive destruction have been the following:

Civil Rights Act of 1964
Voting Rights Act of 1965
Medicare and Medicaid
Federal Aid to Education
Immigration and Nationality Act 1965
Environmental and Consumer Legislation
Housing and Labor Reforms
Eliminating Government Funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and PBS
War On Poverty Programs, including Job Corps, Project Head Start, and Food Stamps (SNAP)
National Endowment For The Arts and National Endowment For The Humanities

Trump has attacked educational programs and cultural institutions, including the Kennedy Center, the National Museum of American History, all other museums connected with the Smithsonian Institution, and News Media.

Trump has also worked to destroy domestic initiatives of presidents after LBJ, including in particular:

Richard Nixon
Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton
Barack Obama
Joe Biden

Once Donald Trump is out of office, and assuming that Democrats can retake the White House and Capitol Hill, it will take a massive effort to reverse the horrendous damage, and it will be more than a one or two year effort to bring back progress domestically.

Trump Vanity Projects Add Massive Costs, And Against American Historical Traditions!

Ronald 27 Comments

Donald Trump is on a rampage to have as many “Vanity” projects as possible, defying history, where only leaders who have passed away, and have high regard of the American people, have projects and buildings named after them.

Trump has destroyed the East Wing of the White House, in his mad dash for a massive 90,000 square foot Ballroom, that would overwhelm the historic building of 226 years.

Trump has also destroyed the Rose Garden, one of the major attractions of the White House.

Additionally, he has promoted a 250 foot Triumphal Arch;

renamed the John F. Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts to include his name;

adding his name to the US Institute of Peace;

is renovating the Reflecting Pool of the Lincoln Memorial;

painting the Eisenhower Executive Office Building to be as white as the White House, even though it has always been granite;

a proposed National Garden of American Heroes;

banners on federal buildings of his portrait;

wishing to have Penn Station in New York City and Dulles International Airport in Virginia renamed after him;

proposal to have American Passports with his face on them;

along with wish to create a $250 bill with his face on the currency, when that only happens for leaders who have passed away.

The extent of his self aggrandizement and ego promotion is unprecedented, and no past President would endorse it, not even Richard Nixon, and would be particularly condemned by the likes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan.

What Trump is promoting reminds one more of the ancient Roman Empire; King Louis XIV of France; and Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany.

In a new development, the federal courts have intervened to attempt to end control of the Kennedy Center and the adding of Donald Trump’s name;

and are resisting the “Weaponization” proposal to award financial damages to January 6 Insurrectionists, a proposal that many Republicans in the US Senate are now working to prevent.

While for now, there is no final decision on these matters, finally, we are seeing an organized attempt to rein in the reckless activities of Donald Trump, and it is a good sign for the preservation of American democracy and the rule of law.

Blatant Racism And Egomaniacal Behavior Of Donald Trump Worsening Exponentially

Ronald 46 Comments

Donald Trump’s racism and egomaniacal behavior is worsening exponentially, an alarming development.

Trump puts an image of Barack and Michelle Obama as apes on Truth Social, and then blames it on an aide, although it was posted in the middle of the night, when Trump goes bonkers on multiple postings on his website.

His egomaniacal behavior moves beyond destroying the Kennedy Center and the White House Rose Garden, and eliminating the East Wing of the White House as he plans a gigantic ballroom that will be much larger than the remaining historic building.

Now, he wants the Dulles International Airport in Virginia renamed after him, at a time when in Florida, there is a move to name the Palm Beach International Airport after him, as well.

Trump also wants the landmark Penn Station in New York City named after him, and is refusing to allow the building of the Hudson River Tunnel project infrastructure to deal with transportation improvements in the ultra busy New York-New Jersey metropolitan area unless he gains what he demands.

His worse traits are showing through more than before, and he is a growing threat as he rapidly declines, but with control over the nuclear codes, that if misused, could lead to nuclear devastation with his eccentric madness traits.
