Heed warning of Trump's lies, cruelty
“What better metaphor for the state of our democracy than the demolition of the White House East Wing?
Months after the president told Americans that "[the ballroom] won't interfere with the current building," the East Wing has been demolished to make room for a 1,000-person gold-plated ballroom. There are no permits and no approvals. It'll apparently be funded by private donations. Any of this sound familiar?
It should. Trump has repeatedly lied to the American people. Over 100 American citizens have been illegally detained by federal au-thorities, despite his promise that ICE would only detain criminal migrants. Medicare and Social Security are under threat despite his promise to preserve them. Critics have been detained, forced out of the Pentagon press room, or had visas revoked despite his promise to protect free speech.
The solicitation of private donations for this gaudy ballroom continues the trend of blatant corruption. Remember the "meme coin" Trump released before inau-guration? How about the jet from Qatar? Or maybe the $2 billion UAE investment in a Trump/Witkoff crypto firm? Trump agreed to sell the UAE advanced microchips despite the national security risk after that investment.
Fundamental and cherished aspects of society: free speech, transparency and justice are being undermined so that an out-of-touch billionaire can rake a few more chips to his side of the table. MAGA can pull their stake in br this failed casino magnate now or revel in his adolescent cruelty until the demolition goes beyond metaphor and society becomes financially and morally bankrupt.”
